a5c7b9f00b Jack Cates once again enlists the aid of ex-con Reggie Hammond–this time, to take down The Iceman, a ruthless drug lord operating in the San Francisco bay area.
For the past four years, San Francisco cop Jack Cates has been after an unidentified drug kingpin who calls himself the "Ice Man". At the Hunter's Point Raceway, Jack confronts Tyrone Burroughs and Arthur Brock. Jack kills Brock in self defense, but Burroughs escapes, and Jack is in danger of going to prison because Brock's gun can't be found. Jack finds a picture that proves that the Ice Man has put a price on the head of Reggie Hammond, who is scheduled to be released from prison on the next day. Jack tries to convince Reggie to help him clear his name and find the Ice Man, but Reggie says he won't help unless Jack gives Reggie the $500,000 that Jack has been holding on to for Reggie. Jack refuses to give Reggie the money unless Reggie helps him. After the bus that is transporting Reggie away from the prison is forced to crash by two bikers and Jack gets shot by the same two bikers, Jack forces Reggie to help him by having the hospital release Reggie into his custody. Reggie recognized one of the bikersRichard "Cherry" Ganz, the brother of Albert Ganz, the escaped convict Jack killed years ago. Jack got shot because Cherry wants revenge for Albert's death, and Cherry and his partner Willie Hickok are the hitmen who have been hired to kill Reggie. Burroughs, who works for the Ice Man, was trying to hire Brockinsurance, just in case Cherry and Hickok fail. Blake Wilson, the head of the Internal Affairs division, obviously doesn't like Jack, because Wilson will stop at nothing to prosecute Jack for manslaughter in Brock's death, and it turns out that the Ice Man put a price on Reggie's head because Reggie knows who the Ice Man is someone Jack never expected it to be.
ANOTHER 48 HRS is the sequel to the hugely successful Eddie Murphy/Nick Nolte team-up 48 HRS, and the producers at Paramount clearly followed the old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" adage because this one copies almost exactly the same formulathe first film. Walter Hill is back directing, Murphy and Nolte are backthe leads, and the storyline is virtually the samein the first.<br/><br/>Sadly, the law of diminishing returns hits this film hard, making it a shadow of his predecessor (which I found to be only an averagely entertaining movie at best). Every scene, situation and shoot-out is overly familiar, and absolutely nothing that happens - even in regard to the twist involving the villains' identity - is a surprise. Murphy's high-wire, sometimes frenzied acting helps add much needed energy to the production, but Nolte is sleepwalking and indeed appears half asleep in this movie.<br/><br/>Still, on the plus side the pacing is fast and quite a lot of the humour works well. Hill's directing can't be faulted, and he's fleshed out his supporting cast with a number of familiar faces from the '80s: Kevin Tighethe IA man, Brion James and Ed O'Ross cast against typecops, and an early role for WISHMASTER's Andrew Divoffthe baddie. It's just a shame more original material couldn't be found to sustain all of this.
Really more of a remake than a sequelthe similarities between this installment and the original eight years earlier are mind-blowing. Once again Nick Nolte is a San Francisco cop who gets convict Eddie Murphy out of prison a little early so they can stop a deviant group of criminals. This time they are after a mysterious mastermind drug kingpin who has a staggering network of thugs (mainly motorcycle) who do his bidding. And of course none of the bad guys even know who their boss is. No creativity turns this into a sequel that was just made for monetary purposes. The idea was only somewhat successfulthe box office business paled in comparison with its predecessor. Critically the picture is almost a total waste. 2 stars out of 5.
Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte are back in Another 48 HRS., and so is some of the chemistry between them. But although this sequel is more amped up than the original "48 HRS.," most of the thrills are gone. [8 Jun 1990, p.35]
"Hey! I told you to get out and you still haven't gone?!" Cates responds with, "Call for help, now!!" and the woman replies with "Idiot!" or something similar.
