The first film is a lot of fun, never seen the sequel.

Dear God, that whole package is ugly.

The first one is my all-time favorite movie! The sequel is watchable, but it's not as fun.

The sequel is a cartoonier film than the first which is a straightforward gritty thriller. Bryan Brown and Dennehy don't really interact together in the original. In the sequel they're like best chums. I really love them both. But yeah that art on the set is ugly.
