Robert Ginty returns with flamethrower, machine guns, garbage truck and sidekick BeeGee to take on X (A hilarious Mario Van Peebles) after X cripples the Exterminator's girlfriend. Exterminator 2 is of course pretty bad, it's Death Wish 3 but way dumber and that is both a good thing and a bad thing. Bad thing via if you like filmmaking and craftsmanship and quality, a good thing if you cherish bad movies. Indeed given our current times, this movie has aged well and the over the top bad guys and ridiculous Mad Max rip off melodrama, make this far more entertaining than even I care to admit to. The scene that sets the scene for this beautiful disaster is when CVan Peebles sprays an X on a subway worker and throws him in front of an oncoming train and the close up to Van Peebles' face either has you shutting it off or in stitches. I was the latter. Exterminator 2 feels like an Italian Mad Max rip off with Death Wish 3 level of absurdity. For me it's a match made in (Bad Movie) heaven. A bad film for sure, but exactly as goofy as you would expect. The type of movie you just aren't brave enough to fully recommend, but know you're happy to have on DVD.
