...continuing the series.
I agree that the sequel is slightly superior to the original in terms of effects and budget, at least. And there's that fantastic police station assault sequence which would put bigger budget actioners to shame. Very entertaining, over-the-top, and complimented by some notable appearances by Charles Napier, Michael Lerner and a very young Danny Trejo.
And I must admit - Laurene Landon has superb lips! ;)
