Luther is speaking to Eddie and tells him about the bat, Eddie offers him a lift and Luther rings the crew to explain he will be late. Comment is made that the Gecko’s killed his father and James Park is the son of Michael Parks who played Earl. Incidentally we know this is a sequel when we briefly, later, meet Deputy McGraw (James Park) the son of Texas Ranger Earl McGraw. ![]() Yet behind the bar is Danny Trejo, Razor Charlie from the first film – or is he? Razor Charlie was killed in the first film and the character is credited as Razor Eddie, so I guess that this is Charlie’s identical twin brother who has the same tattoos. The internal décor is different and we wonder if this is problematic, given that this is a sequel it could have been refurbished following Seth Gecko’s escape. He sets off walking and reaches the Titty Twister. He lifts the lid and the bat rears out of the machinery – he shoots it but the car is going nowhere. He gets out the car and realises that it has gone through into the engine. Luther is driving along when a bat smashes into his fender. Their discussion should be entertaining, and the scriptwriters have tried to make a Tarantino style dialogue but the dialogue just isn’t that well written when compared to the material that Tarantino writes. As they watch the porn we see the problem with the scripting. The next day they head to Mexico and end up in a motel watching porn and waiting for Luther. The crew are made up of safe cracker and rodeo clown CW (Muse Watson), pit dog trainer Jesus (Raymond Cruz) and dim-witted security guard Ray Bob (Brett Harrelson). He has a job lined up, robbing 5 million in drugs money from a Mexican bank, and tells Buck to get a crew together and meet him over the border. As Otis leaves he receives a phone call from Luther. Otis turns up on Buck’s doorstop, without a warrant, asking where Luther is but Buck is tight lipped. ![]() Sheriff Otis Lawson (Bo Hopkins) is pursuing him. He fiddles with the TV, his girlfriend makes some comment about that is what happens when you steal cable, and gets the news which mentions an eclipse which is due and then that a bank robber, Luther (Duane Whitaker), has escaped. The film was being watched by Buck (Robert Patrick). However, we mainly see rapid flapping and they don’t look to bad when that occurs. They are not exactly the best bat effects in the world, especially when seen close up. The lift plummets and bats stream out of the smashed doors and… The cable TV goes.Ī note about the bats, which are used often through the film. He falls back through and the bats attack his female companion and also bite through the cables. Barry takes the dead man’s flashlight and climbs up the hatch only to be attacked by a flock of bats. Barry opens the lift hatch and the mangled body of a maintenance man falls through. The film’s beginning is interesting, a pair of attorneys, one of whom is played by the legendary Bruce Campbell (playing Barry), are defending a serial killer. That is not to say that it doesn’t have its moments but, as a sequel, it was always doomed to comparison. Like the first film it tried to combine vampire horror with crime drama – unfortunately it had neither the cast, script or effects of the first film to carry it. ![]() ![]() As a straight to video release this film was always going to have its work cut out when competing with From Dusk Till Dawn.
