Better than the first thanks to its blatant stupidity.

Rating: 5/10 (3 May 2018)

Here we have a film that's more entertaining than its predecessor due to its absurdity, with the bizarre concept taken one step further and pushed to the point of 'turn-your-brain-off' fun. It pretty much provides constant passive enjoyment as the contrived and convoluted plot speeds by without a moment's hesitation. It's light on the emotion but this time it knows it, we don't get any ham-fisted attempts at causing the audience to well-up with expository dumps, and it tootles along with an almost ostentatious streak - helped by some wonderful casting choices, Bruce Campbell included - as the new spy plot is shamelessly mashed with the racing motif from the first in an unsuccessful amalgamation that feels more like fan-fiction than serious sequel fare. It's just about stupid enough to work, though, to the point that you aren't ever really bored. 5/10
