My God this movie sucked!

I loved the original. When this sequel first came out I was barely able to sit through it. I decided to give it another chance last night, thinking that I might like it better. Sometimes a film will grow on me after seeing it again years later. Not this one. A horrible script, God awful music, awkward cameos, strained rehashes of memorable lines from the first movie and a cast who seemed to be phoning it in all combine to make this movie one I seriously doubt I will ever watch again. If I were to watch it again it would only be to see Dom DeLuise as the Italian "Gynocologalista". He was the best part of the movie. And Sally Fields tight jeans kinda worked for me too.

I thought Smokey 2 was a decent movie due to Jackie Gleason's performance as Buford T. Justice and the game of chicken scene, I thought Buford T. Justice was the best part of the entire movie.

I agree with you on this but I do recommend "The Sting II" for some reason it's a damn good movie with Jackie Gleason taking the spotlight..very good even though Robert Redford and Paul Newman sat out this go around.

Yeah, i remember loving this as a kid thanks to the demolition derby scene at the end, but after rewatching it the other day it's just terrible. Dom Deluise is horrible here, he helps ruin the film, but it's not all his fault. Terrible plot, unfunny repeat jokes, and Gleason was wasted splitting into three roles like that.
