RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Scott LeBrun Roger O'Malley (Christopher Mitchum) is a police lieutenant tasked with tracking down a character that's become a nightmare to cops and criminals alike: The Executioner! This masked man is a twisted vigilante who metes out brutal punishment to all underworld figures. For example, stuffing live grenades inside their clothes. O'Malley will team up with a perky female news personality, Celia Amherst (Renee Harmon, who also wrote the monumentally dopey script) to see that The Executioner is identified and contained.Given that the director is James Bryan of "Don't Go in the Woods" infamy, one shouldn't expect the slightest hint of style or polish. Everything about this turkey reeks of incompetence. Bryan fumbles his way through the direction, Harmons' screenplay is utterly senseless, the acting is absolutely atrocious (especially from the actress playing the daughters' friend), the dubbing abysmal, and the music is so wretched that it boggles the mind. Harmon sure doesn't keep us in suspense or anything; we can see that there's only one person that The Executioner could be. You add to that an insipid hero portrayal by Mitchum, several doses of bright red blood throughout, the occasional flash of breasts, and hilariously sleazy, cartoonish villains, and you have a bunch of ingredients guaranteed to result in a priceless exploitation train wreck.Aldo Ray turns up in a few scenes, with very few lines to utter, but it's just as well. Antoine John Mottet is a riot as Rogers' unhinged, 'Nam flashback-plagued buddy Mike. Veteran stuntman Dan Bradley is likewise amusing as "Big Dan", a goon who is constantly taking punishment and coming back for more. Frank Albert and Frisco Estes are entertaining as the scummiest guys in the story. And Bianca Phillipi is utterly charmless as Rogers' troubled daughter. Harmon, on the other hand, is kind of hard to resist, especially as she mouths her own bad lines in that thick German accent.The movies' biggest joke, of course, is that it's not really a sequel to anything, although it was clearly inspired by "The Exterminator".Highly recommended to bad movie lovers.Five out of 10.
gavin6942 In Vietnam 1970, there were a bunch of American guys who were fighting and trying to survive. Now, back in America, there is a killer on the loose who calls himself The Executioner. He is no ordinary killer, though, but a vigilante: a man who kills criminals with guns, broken glass shards and live grenades.This film was directed by James Bryan. Not sure who that is, actually. And why is it "part 2"? No idea.The exploitation nature of this film shows up in the first ten minutes, when a group of guys brutally rapes a woman on a rooftop while the neighbors just sort of watch and consider whether or not they should help the woman. Luckily, they are stopped by the Executioner! There is a scene that is a bad advertisement for Miller High Life, with two guys fixing a car and talking about how fast time goes by. Then, in the middle of guy time, some thugs show up to steal their tires and a fight breaks out, complete with sound effects and a song ripped off from "Shaft".There's a visible poster for "Hot Teenage Assets" and another film... but if you know why, you are a better detective than I am.Thoroughly entertaining film with bad dialogue, cheesy explosions and the inevitable Vietnam flashback. A must see? No. But pretty decent for what it is.
lastliberal Not one of those grind-house flicks that are so cheesy that they are enjoyable; this one is so bad that it is painful to watch.A take-off on Charles Bronson's Death Wish, but without the class. The "executioner" has flashbacks to Vietnam and runs around grunting and saying "I'm the Judge and Jury" before he puts a grenade in someones pants after some pitiful chop socky.There is no blood even though he cuts the throats of some of his criminals and there is only one brief flash of nudity - someone must have screwed up there.The crime lord just spends his time blowing on lit cigarettes and telling his lackey to bring him more young girls - not for sex mind you, but to use as an ashtray.The teens remind me of Reefer Madness the way they carry on when they are smoking, and they are always asking for coke.Of course, the Executioner is sent out of town instead of being arrested, maybe to do Executioner I, which doesn't exist.I wasted my time so you don't have too.
blackxmas You really owe it to yourself to watch this garbage. Hilarious, inept and so unprofessional, you'll wonder how they even got the film loaded into the camera. Hoping you'll get this confused with the classic EXTERMINATOR, EXECUTIONER part 2, lifts the exact plot, then somebody filmed a bunch of images,edited them together, repeated them over and over, and then released this onto a gullible public. Aldo Ray looks confused most of the time and Chris Mitchum looks like he's going to cry. His teenage daughter and her drugged out friend have the movie's best looped in lines: "Oh heavenly coke!". Vital moviewatching. Demand your local store stock it.
