Visible crew/equipment: You can tell when the maniac cop is getting burnt in the prison, that it's a stunt man wearing a protective bag over his head.

9.7/10. Another sequel that I feel surpasses the original. Here Robert Davi plays well the kind of cop from the detective noir era of film. The surprise of Bruce Campbell and Laurene Landon's deaths early on in the movie is a nice surprise. Not too many movies do this nowadays, If anything they should bring this back nowadays. Claudia Christian does well even if she was difficult behind the scenes as I've heard. That runaway cab scene alone is a well done stunt that left me in awe. Robert Z'Dar, what a trooper. He looks even more grotesque as Cordell, looking more like a zombie as he prowls the streets of New York. Watch this great sequel Larry Cohen put out. It's worth it.

Trivia: Director William Lustig reportedly told investors that Robert Davi was the star of the film to get them interested in the movie... before Davi had even been cast. Luckily, Davi subsequently agreed to be in the film.
