![]() ![]() This also tends to bring up the continuity issue of where are all the other characters from the first film? If Trejo's 'Razor Eddie' is still alive then surely all the other main vampires and fallen bikers are still alive and well too (or undead and well). I still have absolutely no clue how Trejo's character is suppose to have survived the first film after being reduced to mush. ![]() There is a pointless cameo for the 'Titty Twister' merely so they can shove in Danny Trejo with an aimless subplot and so the crooks can start getting bitten. Once things get going on the road trip it still takes its time and feels slow. You've got a fat guy with a ponytail and goatee (the homosexual sadistic porn shop owner from 'Pulp Fiction'), an aging cowboy, a young innocent looking guy (Woody Harrelson's brother) and the stereotypical tough guy played by Raymond Cruz who kinda feels like a male version of 'Vasquez' from 'Aliens'. The group itself are a mixed bag and you can see they have tried to create that iconic team of hardass oddballs we've seen many times before. This second splatter fest starts off really slow and quite dull if you ask me, we merely follow Robert Patrick as he recruits the old gang for the heist. ![]() In the end the film merely becomes a vampire vs police escapade with the lone surviving criminal teaming up with the Texas Ranger that was on his tail. During the heist the main protagonist discovers his mates are vamps and must fend them off along with the police force which turn up. ![]() The group are to meet in a seedy motel somewhere in Mexico but through various circumstances are attacked and turned into vampires one by one. The plots follows a group of criminals who are planning a bank heist. Alas this couldn't be further from the truth, this isn't necessarily a bad thing of course but they are clearly trying to hook your attention. I think you already know whether you'll like this flick or not.So judging by the films cover you could be fooled into thinking this film was set in the 'Twitty Twister' and that Danny Trejo was a large part of the story. Much cheaper, much cheesier, muchos muchos muchos. Oh, and don't expect anything like the first one, it's a totally different kettle of fish. If you like trashy B-movies, you'll like this. Fair enough, but sometimes people take movies too seriously. Alot of people are going to disagree though - the people i was watching this with, for example, all thought it sucked. Not as much fun as the Intruder (which is well worth getting if you're a Deadite fan, oh yeah) but still a good laugh a using loads of Spiegel's trade mark POV shots. Oh yeah - the film - well, it's good in a Scott Speigel kind of way. And, let's face it, that's how come Bruce Campbell's in this movie - they go way back. That's the kind of guy Scott Speigel is and I like him. Next day when Bruce arrived at the office he was stunned to find hundreds of girls lined up waiting to show Scott their boobs for the chance to get on the screen topless for maybe 2 or 3 seconds. Apparently it was all Scott's idea he steamrollered the idea past them when they weren't paying attention. I watched Army of Darkness the other day, the bootleg edition, with the commentary on and was belly laughing when two topless slave girls wander on to the screen and Bruce recounts the story of how they got into the movie. If you've read the 'Evil Dead companion' or 'If Chins could kill' you'll know what kind of guy Scott Speigel is. ![]()
