I guess the title of today’s post is a perfect description of what you can expect from the second part of this adorable series. Obviously, if you haven’t seen the first part, I would recommend you watching everything in the right order. Still, if any of the other parts happen to be shown on TV, don’t hesitate to watch them. Each part is a separate story, so you should enjoy them anyway. Yet, there might be some jokes you won’t get because you don’t know everything about the characters, but, other than that, it’s not a problem. So this part starts with our buddies catching some strange guys shipping South African currency, pretty much illegally. However, they are asked not to get involved in this case and take care of something else instead. Or rather someone else. Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) is a federal witness and a huge pain in the ass, honestly speaking. This character is to bring some “fresh air” to the Riggs-Murtaugh couple. So as in the first part they were making mistakes because they couldn’t communicate well with each other, in the second film they already know how to work together, but have this little annoying guy getting them all in trouble. Personally, I adore the character of Leo, so I hope you won’t hate him much either. He’s like Donkey in “Shrek” – maybe he’s not the brightest, but you’ll remember him forever. I would say I liked the second part a bit more than the first one because there were more ridiculous situations to laugh at. Oh and this part touches the topic of racial discrimination in a very specific way. It seems to be just a background topic, but, in fact, you can see the message very clearly. So good job. Generally they are mad, black and back and that’s why you should watch this part.
My rating: 7.5/10
