One of the rare occasions when a sequel is actually better than the original.
The stunts are more involved, the dialogue sharper, there's a great a new character in the form of Joe Pesci's Leo Getz who really lifts the on screen dynamic - and is the source of many of the funnier moments in the film.
This time they are up against a South African group of criminals, whose leader is protected by diplomatic immunity, using this as a cover for their drug based criminal activities. J oss Ackland is superb as Arjen Rudd, the mastermind of the criminal gang, as is his second in command Derrick O' Connor as Pieter 'Adolph' Vorstedt.
And Patsy Kensit has nipples like bullets.
Excellent all round.
