Former assassin Hutch Mansell takes his family on a nostalgic vacation to a small-town theme park, only to be pulled back into violence when they clash with a corrupt operator, a crooked sheriff, and a ruthless crime boss.
More of the same and I'm not complaining.
It is pretty much the same formula, but to make up for the lost novelty of the first one, they simply did everything better. It's bigger, it's grander, it looks better, it's more professionally made. There's a bit of lost charm from the low budgetness of the original, but I can't complain because that movie looked gray as hell and this movie is delightfully colouful. The plot is also just more whacky. A drug trafficking organization ran in a shitty old summer resort. That's dope. That's fun. This movie is very fun. The whole gang is back, RZA gets to do his kung fu thing, Chris Lloyd gets to be Chris Lloyd, all the cheeky running gags are back and the soundtrack choices still hit. I see no downside.
