Did anyone else think Henry looked a little bit like a mean Pauly Shore?


I mean, not like they're twins or anything...but in a lot of shots Henry just gave me a Pauly Shore vibe...if Pauly wore a dirty blonde wig like Henry's hair.

I definitely felt this the most in the opening, but there were a few shots towards the end where I felt it too.

Other thoughts:
1. Man, poor Kate Walsh. I know at the time of this movie she wasn't super famous, but to not even get her death shown on screen after everything - that just stinks. I thought she definitely stood out as one of the better actors in the movie.

2. Raise your hand if you knew the girl would shoot herself in front of Henry once she grabbed the gun. Felt that was really telegraphed.

3. The head severing scene - when he holds up the head I couldn't really help but laugh. I know the movie was trying to be like...look Henry is crazy...look his helper can't take it...but it was just too over the top to take seriously. That was my biggest beef with this film - the original made you cringe throughout and stayed real serious...this one got kind of campy or silly with the acting/fights/some of the gore and it ruined that chilling setting that the first movie created. It's hardly the worst movie, but Henry 2 doesn't hold a candle to Henry 1.
