Who's Leo Getz? OK..OK...let me explain. My nose hurts so bear with me here, OK? OK...OK..Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) is a federal witness that Roger and Riggs are assigned to protect.
Why does my nose hurt? Well, the movie has a lot of action and violence. I got so caught up in it, I accidentally punched myself in the nose, OK? OK...OK...now let me tell you more about the movie. (By the way, as I write this review, I'm impersonating Leo Getz. Get it? OK...OK...)
This film starts out with a rather unique chase scene: Riggs is chasing a red BMW on foot! Can you believe that?! Is that insane or what?! OK..OK...the BMW crashes with Riggs and Rog right on its tail. The driver pulls a "David Copperfield" and disappears.
You're not gonna believe this, but in the trunk of the BMW are about a million dollars worth of krugerrands! Excuse me! But you would think an armored car would be used to transport that kind of (beep), not a (beep)-ing BMW!
OK...OK...so the krugerrands belong to some really bad South African diplomats who use their diplomatic immunity to get away with all kinds of (beep)! OK...OK...so the movie has some adult language in it, OK?
Anyway, Riggs and Rog are assigned to protect Leo to keep THEM out of trouble. Yeah right! Turns out Leo stole some big bucks from the South African boys--and they're the ones trying to knock Leo off. Ha!
So Riggs and Rog have no choice but to take on these scumbags and create as much mayhem as possible. Included are chase scenes, explosions, fight scenes and a jump off a 15 story balcony into a swimming pool.
Does this sound like a fun film, or what?!
Mel Gibson plays the wild-eyed cop with special-forces training. His character is more tongue-n-cheek in this film, and not as heavy as in the first film.
Danny Glover seamlessly repeats his performance as the reluctant cop who just wants to play it safe, but gets sucked in by Riggs' enthusiasm and willingness to take risks.
Joss Ackland and Derrick O'Conner play bad guys that blew me away! O'Conner does a fantastic fight sequence with Gibson.
Patsy Kensit respectably plays Riggs' girlfriend.
Traci Wolfe respectably plays Roger's daughter who appears in a condom commercial which becomes a source of embarrassment for Roger throughout the film.
Joe Pesci stole the show! His chatterbox character is a riot!
OK...OK...five stars!
