You won't be disappointed!

Too much of everything

Absolutely Brilliant!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I don't suppose that anyone was desperately waiting to see a sequel to James Glickenhaus' modest exploitation cult-hit "The Exterminator", but it sure is more than welcome! Besides, can you honestly blame director Mark Buntzman and the good people at Cannon Film Group for wanting to cash-in further on the still immensely popular trend of violent and rancid early '80s vigilante movies? Of course not! Charles Bronson kept on making inferior sequels to "Death Wish", the theme got used in a sequel to the "Dirty Harry"-series ("Sudden Impact") and there were numerous other vigilante flicks being unleashed on the market ("Vigilante", "Fighting Back", "Suburbia"…), so why shouldn't "Exterminator II" have the right to exist? The problem – or the coolest part, it depends how you look at it - with this film is that it doesn't have an actual plot. Protagonist John Eastland, a former Vietnam veteran living in New York, still roams the streets at night with his indispensable flamethrower and barbecues all the criminal scumbags that he encounters. His main opponents now are the self-declared drug lord X and his posse. X is a flamboyant psychopath slash aspiring ballet dancer – or so he behaves – and murders innocent people for fun! John finds a new best friend and partner in crime in the persona of garbage truck driver Bee Gee and he falls in love with nightclub dancer Caroline. You can imagine that John gets very, very angry when they are both annihilated by X and his gang… Obviously "Exterminator II" is a worthless and totally redundant piece of '80s trash, but it is incredibly fun to watch with friends and plenty of beer & pizzas! The film is utmost politically incorrect, racist and sexist, but that's exactly why it guarantees unforgettable entertainment! Robert Ginty is the action-movie hero with the least charisma and worst acting skills in cinematic history, but I inexplicably love him and all his work. There are awesome supportive roles for Mario Van Peebles, Frankie Faison and familiar face Irwin Keyes, while actress Deborah Geffner has the questionable honor of appearing half- naked most of the film and share a very anti-erotic sex sequence with Ginty. There's blood, nihilistic violence and sadist burning aplenty, while at the same time there is absolutely no emphasis on suspense, dialog or character development. The ideal late-night entertainment, in other words!

like any sequel this one goes way over the top lets look at other examples "the Punisher"(2004) serious and well paced now lets look and the second punisher movie "Punisher: war zone" outrageous, insane, campy, more violent then the first, fast, and well etc (and yes i know they are both different plots but it was still very over the top) . and need i have to say with "Mad Max" and its over the top sequel "Road Warrior". Now exterminator 2 is no dark knight or some Oscar winning movie that people always seem to expect, it is a very entertaining movie. the exterminator is one of the most underrated anti- heroes ever created and its a shame to. this movie never came out on DVD and the only possible way to see it is on VHS. its is way different from the first exterminator its more upbeat, campy, and it has a video game feeling to it which gets help from its soundtrack which sounds something out of a genesis game. but that doesn't mean the movie isn't dark, it is high on violence and unlike the first one john eastwood aka the exterminator is more humanized. in the movie he is given a girlfriend and he runs into one of his other Nam buddies but when all seems well a gang comes along to destroy this little happy story and its up to him to stop them. and let me tell u this even thou the director never went to film school or did other movie work beside producing the first film he did a good enough job making this feature. now i'm not saying this movie is for everyone but i do say this if you like the first one then this one is a fair sequel, i don't think it should have a frickin 2.5 out of 10 this movie is great and i hope it gets release on DVD soon bc hell if slaughter high or even don't go in the woods get released on DVD then this one should too.

i've read some bad comments about this film on this site, mainly from people who i think took even the first film rather too seriously. this is a brilliant piece of absurd 80's action, dutifully modelled on the superb death wish series. the "street punks" are one of the best features and resemble the b*****d offspring of the warriors and mad max 2. the exterminator himself spends most of the film going berserk with a flamethrower and at one point he operates a rubbish truck armed with remote control machine guns. the action is interspersed with ridiculous love scenes involving a stripper. although i think this film does lack some of the quality of the original i found it just as enjoyable and anyone who can appreciate the death wish series should certainly enjoy this

The first EXTERMINATOR movie was pretty good, but this sequel is totally lame. The Exterminator beats the bad guys in the end but he has lost everything he held dear in the process. His methods of killing are one-note here as he uses only a flamethrower for most of the picture and as one review I read once pointed out, he never actually shows up in time to save anyone. He just shows up to punish the bad guys by torching them.Mario Van Peebles does the best he can as bad guy X but even he couldn't save this film. The music is crap, the acting is crap and the whole product is totally worthless. Maybe if James Glickenhaus himself had been involved in the production of this sequel it would have been watchable. But it isn't. Avoid at all costs.
