    It's happening again!

    This sequel although not quite as effective as the original, still has it's moments, with particularly good opening and ending sequences. Jake Busey was pretty good as the hitcher, but not comparable to Hauer.

    It suffers from having from so much to live up to and has taken a fair amount of criticism in certain quarters, but in its own right is very watchable and kept me entertained.
