opinion this was a good action/comedy sequel to a classic original.

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.

liked the part when the biker went right through the movie screen. Anyone could mistake that for 3D. There was more shooting. This one has a little more carnage than the first I should say. It was funny when Reggie finally took the lighter from Cates after he was shot. Nothing seems to change in that movie, the fun factor was still there, and the comedy was there as well. Enjoy! 4 out of 5 stars!

twist in the film I didn't see coming. So all in all, not a classic yet highly entertaining, and that is what it was supposed to do.

which gets explained later. Because in Part 1 they always talked about I think just a few like 2 or so, but don't hold me to that years. Oh and on of the bikers, who are supposed to kill Reggie is the brother of the bad guy in the first movie. Well, Reggie gets out of the Prison and is on his bus. while that happens there is an attempt on Jack's Life. Because he is on the search for a ominous Drugdealer called :The Iceman. BTW: I missed something before: Reggie was in his cell alone and singing to his James Brown tape. Looks exactly as it did in Part one. When the movie came out, I read that this Scene was put in to compensate Eddie Murphies Wishes. But it was funny one time. The second time it looks kinda out of place. . All that happens in the first 10 minutes of the movie. So you can imagine that there is a lot of action in this movie. After a while they get to be good buddies during the movie again. It's very similar to the first movie. And a lot of scenes are kind of just copied from the first one I mean storywise Since Walter Hill had 8 Years to come up with a new and entertaining and sometimes funny story. But the movie just hasn't the charm of the first movie. Though if you enjoy either Eddie Murphy or Nick Nolte You'll like it I will not spoil the rest of the movie for you if you haven't seen it yet and tell you who the iceman is. Now it get's explained why Reggie was in the Can longer. He was framed for illegal money possession in Jail. Since Jack doesn't give Reggie his Money they have to work together, and Reggie isn't happy about it. Nobody from the Force believes Jack about the "Iceman"... Well the story develops as you might think.. They go through a lot and become good buddies again. I am watching the Movie right now. The revelation who the "Iceman" is, that is the only real surprise in this movie, the rest is real predictable. Well it's a typical "Buddie Movie" as they did back then like from the middle 80ties to the beginning of the nineties ... like the first Lethal Weapon Movie. First the two don't like each other and during the movie they become best friends. It's sad that they, for the most part, don't make 'em like this anymore .. If you like these kinds of movies you will like this one.. I like them from back when they were new, so I still do. But if you are used to Movie like they make 'em today , I really don't know if you will enjoy it. But it is a pretty good movie. Watch it and decide for yourself. And if you haven't seen Part 1 48 Hours get that one too. O.K. I will watch the rest of the movie now and enjoy myself. One last thing: I really think, the movie is worth 7 out of 10 points.

movie. Sure its not as fresh and original as the first one, but its still entertaining. 3.5/5
