Query: Retread of the original but with less impact

This is less a sequel to the original than a remake of it .Robert Ginty -giving another solid performance -is once again out to clean up the streets of 1980's New York and this time around he arms himself with a flame thrower and operates out of an armoured garbage truck .His special attention is devoted to "X " a street gang leader with delusions of grandeur -he sees himself as an almost Messianic figure ,out to unite the street gangs so as to make them more organised and powerfulThis role is played with some style and a certain tongue in cheek quality by Mario Van Peebles nut , despite this and other decent performances the picture does not make the impact of its predecessor.The budget allows for more and noisier explosions and shootouts this time around but there is little freshness or originality ,and you get a somehat more pyrotechnically advanced version of the superior originalRecommended to vigilante movie completists only
