Summary: BETTER than the ORIGINAL... Yeah, you heard me.
Review: 48 Hours just wasn't funny, It wasn't exciting, it was an overlong Drama. The sequal is what the original tried to be. Eddie is hilarious and nick is angry... much the same as the first, but in this one it works twice as good. Walter hill kept everthing that worked in the original and stretches it into a whole film. well done walter.

Summary: BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL - I THINK NOT!!
Review: Another case of Hollywood trying to cash in on the success of the original. The original 48HRS was funny and original with Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in top form. Another 48HRS had a very poorly written screenplay. It almost seemed as if they were thinking things up as they went along. A huge disappiontment. Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte should not have agreed to do this terrible sequel to an excellent movie!! The antics worked in the original but they seemed stale and outdated in the sequel.

Summary: Both Movies are nothing to write about..
Review: Both movies are almost identical to each other, Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy are fine performers, just don;t put them in the same movie together.

Summary: An great entertaining Sequel.
Review: Eight years later, a couple of days before Reggie (Eddie Murphy) gets out of Prison. When a Gang of Dangerous Motorcycle Killers are teamed with a Mysterious Iceman, who wants Reggie`s Money. Jack (Nick Notle) has to team with Reggie, one last time to Stop the Dangerous Killers including the Iceman.Directed by Walter Hill (48 Hrs, Supernova) brings an exciting action-thriller. Murphy and Notle are great in this one, just like in the Original 48 Hrs. A well respected Sequel. Grade:A-.

Summary: Eddie Murphy livens up San Francisco!
Review: Here, the sequel to 48 Hours which catapulted Eddie Murphy to stardom in 1990 does not quite recapture the magic of the first movie. Sure, the action is loud and sometimes hilarious as when Reggie Hammond, ex-Con, tells the people in the nightclub, "Anyone else want a limp?" This is just after he shoots a huge wrestler type bad guy who was going to attack him right in the left kneecap. I liked the action scene with the creepy shootout in the seedy San Francisco Chinatown hotel where the dynamic duo track down the long haired hippie like biker assassins. There is a twist, of course, in fact there is a double twist to the tale. The main culprit called the "Ice-man", who is a big time drug dealer, turns out to be someone very close to suspended Police Inspector Cates played by Nick Nolte. Nolte looks a bit old and haggard in this movie. He really needs plastic surgery and Botox if he wants to play any more lead roles. No love interest, just the crazy buddy-buddy antic of the 2 unlikely heroes. watch it when you are bored and have nothing better to do. Enjoy! By Dr. Michael Lim The Travelling Gourmet

Summary: Another Hit for the boys.
Review: Hey, i like nick nolte, but Eddie Murphy shines here in spit of a script that is trying to give equality to both actors here. Not that the script is bad. On the contrary, I liked it better than a lot of other reviewers. I was tempted to give it 5 stars, but with thefviolence and lauguage, 4 is my max.

Summary: WELL, WAS IT REALLY WORTH THE WAIT FOR THEIR COMEBACK?
Review: IN THIS ONE, JACK CATES NEEDS REGGIE'S [WHO'S JUST GOTTEN RELEASED FROM JAIL] HELP TO HELP HIM SAVE HIS JOB AND CLEAR HIS NAME OF A WRONGFUL DEATH. THE VILLAINS HERE AREN'T AS HALF AS ENTERTAINING AS THE ORIGINALS WERE. AGAIN, EDDIE MURPHY DOES A MEDIOCRE SEQUEL. THE TWO LEADS ARE STILL FUN TO WATCH, BUT, THE PLOT REALLY BRINGS IT DOWN. IT'S NOWHERE NEAR AS FUNNY AS THE ORIGINAL, BUT, I GUESS IT MAKES AN OK COMEDY/ACTIONER.

Summary: More of a remake than a sequel
Review: Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) has been tracking an elusive druglord named the Iceman for the last few years. During a botched arrest attempt he discovers that the Iceman has arranged a hit on old friend Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy) who's about to be released from prison. Cates is certain to face the loss of his badge if he doesn't wrap this up, so he turns to Hammond to help him bring in the Iceman. Three sadistic bikers (hired by the Iceman) are also hunting the pair, one of whom is the revenge hungry brother of the psycho Cates killed in the first film. Nolte and Murphy still click, and the movie is never boring, but this is basically a rehash with minor changes made here and there. We revisit their fistfights, another redneck bar, another hotel shootout, and so on. One plus is that the profanity has been toned down (at least by Murphy's standards) and there is some exciting gunplay amidst all the shattering glass you would find in a Walter Hill film. Hill might have turned in a much better film had he veered away from all this familar territory.
