Stars: Eddie Murphy, Nick Nolte

Year: 1990 Running Time: 95 mins Rating:

Nolte's no-nonsense cop Cates reteams with Murphy's motormouthed crook Hammond for a second all-action caper. This time, Cates' job is on the line as the mismatched pair take on a gang of homicidal bikers. Original director Walter Hill also returns to orchestrate the wreckage and never lets his foot off the gas... though there's never a shortage of gas with Murphy on board.

Review

Enjoyable, if routine, action sequel. The shoot-out in the strip club, the flight down the fire escape, the villain discovered with a naked woman, the saloon-bar brawl, the crooked cops - absolutely no prizes for guessing the identity of Mr Big the Ice-Man - and plenty of bickering for Messrs Murphy and Nolte. Directed in efficient style by Walter Hill.
