Review of Another 48 Hrs. (1990) by Steven1981 — 18 Mar 2020
Another 48 Hrs is the sequel to 1982's original 48 Hrs... Director Walter Hill (Red Heat) returns to make the sequel to his classic action comedy hit. However the story is similar to the original but with names like "Iceman" used constantly until the point of annoyance.
Kevin Tighe (Road House) is rather annoying in this film and not surprised Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) knocked him out to be honest. Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy) is released from prison to help Cates catch the badguys again.
A rip off of the original but nowhere near as good even though the violence level is increased dramatically with explosions, blood and more shootouts. Some nudity scenes aswell but more violence, sometimes more of anything is too much or less which makes Another 48 Hrs a bad comedy actioner compared to the original.
Not as funny as the original and more violent but violence fails to make it as enjoyable as the original movie. All in all quite disappointing.
