Jack Cates once again enlists the aid of ex-con Reggie Hammond--this time, to take down The Iceman, a ruthless drug lord operating in the San Francisco bay area.
For the past four years, San Francisco cop Jack Cates has been after an unidentified drug kingpin who calls himself the "Ice Man". At the Hunter's Point Raceway, Jack confronts Tyrone Burroughs and Arthur Brock. Jack kills Brock in self defense, but Burroughs escapes, and Jack is in danger of going to prison because Brock's gun can't be found. Jack finds a picture that proves that the Ice Man has put a price on the head of Reggie Hammond, who is scheduled to be released from prison on the next day. Jack tries to convince Reggie to help him clear his name and find the Ice Man, but Reggie says he won't help unless Jack gives Reggie the $500,000 that Jack has been holding on to for Reggie. Jack refuses to give Reggie the money unless Reggie helps him. After the bus that is transporting Reggie away from the prison is forced to crash by two bikers and Jack gets shot by the same two bikers, Jack forces Reggie to help him by having the hospital release Reggie into his custody. Reggie recognized one of the bikers as Richard "Cherry" Ganz, the brother of Albert Ganz, the escaped convict Jack killed years ago. Jack got shot because Cherry wants revenge for Albert's death, and Cherry and his partner Willie Hickok are the hitmen who have been hired to kill Reggie. Burroughs, who works for the Ice Man, was trying to hire Brock as insurance, just in case Cherry and Hickok fail. Blake Wilson, the head of the Internal Affairs division, obviously doesn't like Jack, because Wilson will stop at nothing to prosecute Jack for manslaughter in Brock's death, and it turns out that the Ice Man put a price on Reggie's head because Reggie knows who the Ice Man is someone Jack never expected it to be.
When the two "48 Hours" movies were made, there were a few people who had mobile communications. But not like it is now. If I had a dog, he or she would mope around until the dog had their own cellular, or internet. Hammond was in a phone booth, trying to borrow money. Now, telephone booths are rare. Yet, with cellular still in the future, Reggie Hammond had bought himself a Porsche he bought with money he made in crime. His Porsche had a special key with a computer chip, a common sight now when people are tweeting their cars. Hammond tweeted his Porsche into a thousand pieces. Don't you love cinema pyrotechnics? Cates was not very impressed or sympathetic. "You're just having a bad day, Reggie". After Hammond had already lost his James Brown tape.
The first half struck me as better than the first film, but then it devolves into almost shockingly bad in the second half. It's what-were-they-thinking bad. A good example is the scene where the two bikers drive their cycles through a movie screen during a nude sequence. Why sure! The only thing I can think of is that director Walter Hill was shooting for mythic cool-ness in the manner of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." Unfortunately, he ended up with laughable wreck. To add insult to injury, the revelation of the Iceman is lame. Would a real drug kingpin keep an exhausting full-time job? Isn't the purpose of being a drug kingpin to make loads of money so you can kick back and enjoy the so-called high life? Moreover, the conflict-habituated relationship of the protagonists really starts to grate on the nerves by the second half. There's another scene in the first half that's a cool action scene on the surface; that is, until you think about it. It's the sequence where two bikers attempt to kill someone in a mini-bus by riding alongside the vehicle on either side while blowing holes into it. All the driver has to do is swerve to one side or the other and – voilà – both bikers are taken out. The action is awesome, the acting and the music are superb. Two thumbs up to Walter Hill and the rest of the cast & crew!
Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
Another 48 Hrs. starts as two vicious killer bikers Willie Hancock (David Anthony Marshall) & Cherry Ganz (Andrew Divoff) ride into San Francisco looking to carry out a hit on Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy) who is soon to be released from prison. Meanwhile detective Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) for the past four years has been trying to discover the identity of a powerful drugs dealer known as the Iceman, after a shoot out with one of the Iceman's men Jack finds a picture of Reggie & figures he can help him find the Iceman. Reggie is released from prison & a hit is made on him but he survives while Cherry Ganz decides to kill Jack to avenge his brother's death but a bullet proof vest saves him, Reggie & Jack have no choice but to work together to unmask the Iceman & stay alive long enough to do it...
Directed by Walter Hill who returns from the original 48 Hrs. I actually think Another 48 Hrs. is a better film than it's predecessor on just about every level. The script by Jeb Stuart, John Fasano & Larry Gross is a more balanced film, it moves along at a tighter pace, the action scenes are better, it still has plenty of amusing one-liners but has thankfully dropped the racist overtones & there's just more going on. From the problems Jack has with internal affairs to Reggie having to pay someone off who kept him alive in jail & from the mysterious identity of the Iceman to the fact that Reggie is now a free man & doesn't have to work with Jack just make Another 48 Hrs. slightly better than the original. On the down side it's nothing particularly new or original & while it's not a complete rehash of the original it can feel pretty similar at times & there's just so many buddy buddy cop flicks out there Another 48 Hrs. has sort of gotten lost in the crowd somewhat. Personally I liked it, it has plenty of bad language, one-liners, decent set-pieces & fights & a bit of mystery surrounding the plot although it's not that hard to work it out.
Director Hill does alright but the film looks & feels a lot like the first, the action scenes are well handled & it's suitably profanity ridden. Brion James has said in an interview that Another 48 Hrs. ran for something 140 minutes originally & that Paramount cut huge chunks out of it including a lot of footage with him in it which I find very easy to believe, James name is third in the opening credits yet he comes across as a glorified extra. Interestingly James is third in the opening credits while Murphy & Nolte come first & second although unlike the first film Murphy is now credited first & Nolte second which says something all on it's own. The violence isn't too strong here, some gory gunshot wounds a & some punch ups is as violent as it gets but at least it's a solid 'R' rather than a 'PG'.
Apparently this made near $20,000,000 in it's opening weekend which I would imagine is a decent amount even for films released today so it's maybe a bit puzzling a third 48 Hrs. flick wasn't forthcoming. It's well made with that big budget Hollywood feel & look to it, again set in San Francisco it was again like the original partly shot in Los Angeles. The acting is good with the two leads having a good on screen chemistry & Murphy in foul mouthed mode is pretty funny to listen too, Nolte is alright but seems to be going through the motions somewhat.
Another 48 Hrs. is a throughly enjoyable 90's action flick full of bad language & violence of the sort they just don't seem to make anymore which is a shame but there you go. I think it's a slight improvement on the original & a solid action flick in it's own right, worth a watch for sure.
If it does nothing else, Another 48 HRS reminds us that Murphy is a big, genuine talent. Now it's time for him to make a good movie.
"Hey! I told you to get out and you still haven't gone?!" Cates responds with, "Call for help, now!!" and the woman replies with "Idiot!" or something similar. a5c7b9f00b
