Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

MonsterVision99 Cannon Inc. was well-known for taking movies that were once successful and making sequels out of them, movies like Death Wish or Superman, but The Exterminator was one of those cases were the film was exploitation to begin with, so they aren't messing with anyone by making the movies even cheesier. The Exterminator 2 it's even crazier and cheesier than the original movie, but it manages to be decent and keep the sleaziness intact, this film it's not very apologetic with it's violence, people die all the time, it's crude and reckless.Some of the scenes may feel a bit clunky or pointless, the editing may be sloppy at times, but that's because Cannon wasn't pleased with the original cut of the film by Mark Buntzman, so they decided to re shoot a big part of the film with William Sachs (B-movie director, known mostly for The Incredible Melting Man) as the new director, the result was very decent for what it was, with the film not suffering much from the re shoots, at least, through most of the film. The cheesiness is high in this one, with the gangs from the city being much more exaggerated than they were in the previous film, the deaths being more fitting to this kind of film, and it isn't a Cannon film without some gratuitous roller skate dancing in it. Since it's a Cannon film the action in this movie it's pretty fun, the shootouts are very entertaining and quite intense at times, especially the last one, that serves as a climax to the film, followed by a clunky editing job, but that leads to a very well made closing shot.Overall, I would recommend it if you are looking for a cheesy and trashy 80's vigilante movie, it will not disappoint.

rodrig58 The man with the flamethrower, vigilante John Eastland (Robert Ginty) returns to drink a beer in a bar and to fry some more villains. Between two fries, he finds some time to make love with a very tender dancer at the bar, Caroline(Deborah Geffner). "Attractions" this time: a garbage truck that makes cleaning among villains, a coffin with drugs and others not so very well inspired. It has a lot of music in it, it is clear that the director (Mark Buntzman) or the producers liked 80s music, especially the breakdance genre. In fact, all the film can be considered a long music video with some action (fries) in between. The actors are questionable if not lamentable. Deborah Geffner is most compelling. Noted John Turturro in a minor role. Just to have a sequel, as usual, much lower than the first part.

Coventry I don't suppose that anyone was desperately waiting to see a sequel to James Glickenhaus' modest exploitation cult-hit "The Exterminator", but it sure is more than welcome! Besides, can you honestly blame director Mark Buntzman and the good people at Cannon Film Group for wanting to cash-in further on the still immensely popular trend of violent and rancid early '80s vigilante movies? Of course not! Charles Bronson kept on making inferior sequels to "Death Wish", the theme got used in a sequel to the "Dirty Harry"-series ("Sudden Impact") and there were numerous other vigilante flicks being unleashed on the market ("Vigilante", "Fighting Back", "Suburbia"…), so why shouldn't "Exterminator II" have the right to exist? The problem – or the coolest part, it depends how you look at it - with this film is that it doesn't have an actual plot. Protagonist John Eastland, a former Vietnam veteran living in New York, still roams the streets at night with his indispensable flamethrower and barbecues all the criminal scumbags that he encounters. His main opponents now are the self-declared drug lord X and his posse. X is a flamboyant psychopath slash aspiring ballet dancer – or so he behaves – and murders innocent people for fun! John finds a new best friend and partner in crime in the persona of garbage truck driver Bee Gee and he falls in love with nightclub dancer Caroline. You can imagine that John gets very, very angry when they are both annihilated by X and his gang… Obviously "Exterminator II" is a worthless and totally redundant piece of '80s trash, but it is incredibly fun to watch with friends and plenty of beer & pizzas! The film is utmost politically incorrect, racist and sexist, but that's exactly why it guarantees unforgettable entertainment! Robert Ginty is the action-movie hero with the least charisma and worst acting skills in cinematic history, but I inexplicably love him and all his work. There are awesome supportive roles for Mario Van Peebles, Frankie Faison and familiar face Irwin Keyes, while actress Deborah Geffner has the questionable honor of appearing half- naked most of the film and share a very anti-erotic sex sequence with Ginty. There's blood, nihilistic violence and sadist burning aplenty, while at the same time there is absolutely no emphasis on suspense, dialog or character development. The ideal late-night entertainment, in other words!

Scott LeBrun "Exterminator 2" brings back the great Robert Ginty as flamethrower wielding vigilante John Eastland, but has nowhere near the impact as the first film. That's not to say that it's not enjoyable, but overall it's silly stuff.Directed by Mark Buntzman, who produced the first film, it sees Eastland start to date an exotic dancer named Caroline (Deborah Geffner) and make friends with an outgoing garbageman named Be Gee (the excellent veteran character actor Frankie Faison). Eastland agrees to take on a job as a garbageman (!), but finds his happiness threatened by the activities of a street gang led by the fiendish "X" (Mario Van Peebles, in a breakthrough role). Of course, Eastland has already been up to his old tricks by torching various criminal scum, but is he going to be ready for this particularly sadistic gang?The viewer can have an interesting time checking out the early appearances by actors who would go on to become busy and recognizable if not famous: Irwin Keyes, Arye Gross, Thomas Calabro, and John Turturro, who has a bit. The gang members basically come across as cartoons and there's a certain goofy quality to a lot of the dialogue, performances, and situations. (If nothing else, the audience may find "Exterminator 2" laughable enough to be entertaining.) The music is also particularly amusing, providing the perfect accompaniment for assorted violent goings on. Ginty is reasonably engaging although his character of Eastland was a more compelling individual the first time. Faison is superb and shows off a natural charisma. And Van Peebles makes the most of his demented & depraved role, making for a pretty good antagonist.Especially entertaining is seeing Ginty turn Faisons' garbage truck into an assault vehicle and watching the final cat-and-mouse chase between hero and villain. There's plenty of characters going up like Roman candles to keep the viewers interested.All in all, this is decent enough, and it might be worth watching it along with, say, "Death Wish II" and/or "Death Wish 3" for a dose of vigilante vs. gang escapism.Six out of 10.
