Producers always rush out sequels to sleepers (or surprise box-office hits), hoping to cash in while the audience is still in the right mood. Unfortunately, sleepers are by definition films no one initially had much confidence in, and film-makers often struggle to repeat the inexplicably successful formula. This is a case in point, as not even the usually reliable writing team of Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel could give co-writer and star Billy Crystal the kind of verbal ammunition he thrives on. Jack Palance briefly reprises his Oscar-winning role, but a hit comedy needs more than cameos, cattle and scenery.

Disappointing sequel that settles for tired comedy routines and slack jokes about old movies.

A poor sequel
I liked the first movie, but this sequel was bad. The plot was pretty spun out and the characters have definitely got annoying by now. There is also the new annoyance of Mitch's long lost brother. I say stick to the first movie - if it aint broke dont fix it!

Jack's back, thank god again
The second film of this franchise (which didn't really warrant a sequel) took the best bits of the first and did very little new with them. Relying heavily on the old jokes, without Jake Gyllenhaal and Bruno Kirby who it seemed had both moved on to much better films, it had to ressurect Palance, who once again stole the show, despite playing a different, identical, character. Retaining the opening credit cartoons and a sweet fluffy story, this time about chasing down some gold rather than cows, it is understandable why a third was never considered. Altogether, not an overly bad pair of films to watch, if the past decade happens to have slipped you by.
