Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

OneEightNine Media I watched this on the heels of watching the first film. Honestly, both films are great. I think this sequel gets so much hate because the first film is just that much better. Make no mistake about it, this movie is a shameless cash grab. But it does a great job of entertaining you with outstanding action and a few laughs. The film is about the odd couple of a beat cop and criminal teaming up yet again to take on some bad dudes. This film fails in that it focuses too much on the bad guys and not enough on the stars of the film. I'm guessing because Eddie Murphy was a huge star at that point and didn't have the time to hangout and shoot more scenes or whatever. And because of that, the film is slightly cheapen. But still worth watching if you enjoy action flicks. Some of the action in this film is jaw dropping but cheapened by overexposing the villains without developing them with dialogue and etc. But whatever, it is a great grind house film posing as a late 80s blockbuster.

Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki The violence even more excessive, the plot even thinner, and the laughs even fewer, as cop Nolte is again forced to turn to con Murphy, just being released from eight years in prison, to crack another case, keep his own ass out of prison, and try to save his career.All of the dialogue is exposition, spelling out to the audience what little is going on, and some of it is even taken verbatim from the earlier film, as the filmmakers apparently play the first film's soundtrack album, and while glass shatters seemingly endlessly. When this is not recycling its predecessor's soundtrack album, there is a curious choice of country music heard in the background.I couldn't even recommend this to the biggest fans of either Murphy and/ or Nolte, nor can I think of a redeeming quality or value to this exact duplicate of the original. The only reason I give it a 2/ 10 is because I slightly chuckled at the several jokes about "hillbillies", and several background extras (the singer in the bar, and the guy standing on the courthouse steps) who stare at the camera. Or, were these scenes guerrilla filmed, and those people didn't know they were on camera?Even more than the original, the thin plot collapses if given even the slightest bit of thought.

Wuchak "Another 48 HRS." came out in 1990, eight years after the original. Like the first one, it's a crime thriller starring Nick Nolte as Jack Crates, a tough guy/alcoholic cop in San Francisco who hunts down cop killers by enlisting the services of a convict (Eddie Murphy). The killers this time out are violent outlaw bikers, but Cates' real target is the elusive "Iceman," the drug kingpin of the area. In the eight years between the movies Murphy became a mega-success and so holds top billing in this one.The first half struck me as better than the first film, but then it devolves into almost shockingly bad in the second half. It's what-were-they-thinking bad. A good example is the scene where the two bikers drive their cycles through a movie screen during a nude sequence. Why sure! The only thing I can think of is that director Walter Hill was shooting for mythic cool-ness in the manner of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." Unfortunately, he ended up with laughable dreck. To add insult to injury, the revelation of the Iceman is lame. Would a real drug kingpin keep an exhausting full-time job? Isn't the purpose of being a drug kingpin to make loads of money so you can kick back and enjoy the high life? Moreover, the conflict-habituated relationship of the protagonists really starts to grate on the nerves by the second half.There's another scene in the first half that's a cool action scene on the surface; that is, until you think about it. It's the sequence where two bikers attempt to kill someone in a mini-bus by riding alongside the vehicle on either side while blowing holes into it. All the driver has to do is swerve to one side or the other and – voilà – both bikers are taken out. Lastly, there's just something trashy about this film. While the protagonists have admirable qualities underneath their gruff exteriors, the majority of the characters in the film seem like the dregs of society. I'll take 1984's "Beverly Hills Cop" over the two 48 HRS flicks any day. It's all-around better with more likable characters and redeemable qualities. The film runs 93 minutes and was shot in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Folsom, California, as well as Las Vegas, Nevada. GRADE: C-

jcbutthead86 Another 48 Hrs is a terrific,entertaining,funny and Action-packed sequel that is filled with great direction,wonderful performances from Eddie Murphy,Nick Nolte and a fine cast,thrilling Action,good laughs and a great score. And while Another 48 Hrs is not as good as the original,the film is still a solid sequel.Set seven years after the original,Another 48 Hrs finds Jack Cates(Nick Nolte)trying to track down and nail a drug lord named The Iceman,a drug dealer who has been operating in San Francisco. With nowhere to turn,Jack needs help once again from Reggie Hammond(Eddie Murphy)who's been in prison for five years and is about to get out. The only problem is that The Iceman wants Reggie dead. Now,Jack and Reggie have Another 48 Hrs to bring down The Iceman and with Jack and Reggie the boys are back in town with more laughs and thrills.Released in 1990,Another 48 Hrs is an entertaining sequel that not only came out 8 years after the excellent,landmark Action-Comedy classic 48 Hrs but also came out after the Box Office success of the first two Lethal Weapon films. While Another 48 Hrs was a Box Office success,the film received a mixed reaction from film critics who felt Another 48 Hrs was too much like the original and while this film isn't very creative or truly groundbreaking like the first film it's still a fun and thrilling movie that entertains you for 95 minutes. Another 48 Hrs is a good Action-Comedy that pretty much taking what worked in the first movie and bringing it to this film mixing thrilling,intense Action with hilarious Comedy that is non-stop from beginning to end. The Comedy and Humor in Another 48 Hrs. is funny and will make you laugh out loud because the Humor is very much in line with the first film showing how Jack and Reggie deal with each other while looking for The Iceman and getting into various situations that are funny with Eddie Murphy being the funny guy and Nick Nolte being the straight one. Although the Comedy in Another 48 Hrs is funny,the Humor sometimes lacks the edge and politically incorrect tone the first one had. If there is one thing that is different and bigger from the first 48 Hrs it's the Action scenes. The Action scenes in Another 48 Hrs are not only amazing but are bigger and louder than they were in the first film because director Walter Hill(who was given a much bigger budget with this film)goes completely insane with the Action with each Action scene being more explosive than the last. Hill's Action scenes always feature people flying in the air or going through broken glass and while there is people flying in the air,there is more broken glass shattered in Another 48 Hrs than in any other Walter Hill film whether it's with windows or glass doors. There is enough Action,gunfights,explosions and thrills in Another 48 to satisfy any Action film and Walter Fill fan. The main characters Jack Cates and Reggie Hammond show in this film that despite not seeing each other for seven neither one of them has changed since the last time they saw each other with the two still throwing funny jabs and insults at one another almost like they were never apart. Throughout the film we also see Jack and Reggie try to repair their friendship which has been strained(the two haven't seen each other in seven years)but as the film goes on and the two work together their partnership and friendship grows despite the funny lines the two throw at each other and the chemistry is still there. The ending of Another 48 Hrs is great and filled with Action,excitement and laughs and a twist you wont see coming at all. There is also a wonderful bit at the end that is a funny homage to the ending in the original film that will make you laugh. A great ending.The cast is terrific. Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte are excellent once again as Reggie Hammond and Jack Cates,with Murphy and Nolte displaying great laughs and chemistry. Brion James is great as Kehoe,Cates' fellow cop and friend. Kevin Tighe is wonderful as Blake Wilson,an Internal Affairs cop that is on Jack's back. Ed O'Ross does a fine job as Frank Cruise,another San Francisco Cop. David Anthony Marshall(Willie Hickok),Andrew Divoff(Richard 'Cherry Ganz)and Ted Markland(Malcolm Price)are outstanding as the three murderous bikers. Bernie Casey is fantastic as Kirkland Smith,a fellow convict that Reggie owes a debt to. Brent Jennings is sensational as Burroughs,a man that works for The Iceman. Tisha Campbell(Amy Smith),Page Leong(Angel Lee)and Cathy Hasse(Girl Bartender)give good performances as well.The direction by Walter Hill is wonderful,with Hill always moving the camera and keeping the film moving at a tight pace and Hill also does a great job with the Action scenes. Incredible direction,Hill.The score by James Horner is great,intense and matches the tone of the film. Fantastic score,Horner. There is also the return of the classic song The Boys Are Back In Town by The Bus Boys and another version of the song by Jesse Johnson.In final word,if you love Action-Comedies,Walter Hill,Eddie Murphy or Nick Nolte,I highly suggest you see Another 48 Hrs.,a terrific,Action-packed and funny Action-Comedy that will keep you entertained. Highly Recommended. 9.5/10.
