Query: ON PAR WITH ITS PREDECESSOR; 2.5 STARS

ALMOST BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THIS TIME AROUND, ROBERT MALONE [FRED WILLIAMSON] IS TEAMED UP WITH AN INTERPOL AGENT [NICHOLAS HAMMOND] IN THE PHILLIPINES. THIS SEQUEL, LIKE THE FIRST MOVIE, IS OCCASIONALLY FUN. BUT IT SUFFERS FROM PRACTICALLY THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THE FIRST FILM SUFFERED FROM; SHODDY FILMING, BAD ACTING, LACK OF PLOT, AND IT'S PREDICTABLE. BUT, WHEN IT COMES TO THE ACTION, IT'S WORTH WATCHING. THIS SEQUEL IS PRETTY MUCH YOUR USUAL BUDDY COP MOVIE. AND IF YOU SEEN ONE BUDDY COP MOVIE, YOU PRETTY MUCH SEEN MOST OF THEM. THOUGH THE FIRST FILM WAS MARGINALLY BETTER, THIS IS A HALFWAY DECENT SEQUEL. AT LEAST IT WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE SOMETHING TO DO WHEN YOU'RE BORED. NICHOLAS HAMMOND, WHO'S BEST KNOWN FOR HIS PORTRAYAL OF THE 1ST LIVE-ACTION SPIDERMAN ON THE UNSUCESSFUL 1977 TV SERIES, DOES GOOD IN THIS MOVIE AS FRED WILLIAMSON'S PARTNER.
