"Exterminator 2" brings back the great Robert Ginty as flamethrower wielding vigilante John Eastland, but has nowhere near the impact as the first film. That's not to say that it's not enjoyable, but overall it's silly stuff.

Directed by Mark Buntzman, who produced the first film, it sees Eastland start to date an exotic dancer named Caroline (Deborah Geffner) and make friends with an outgoing garbageman named Be Gee (the excellent veteran character actor Frankie Faison). Eastland agrees to take on a job as a garbageman (!), but finds his happiness threatened by the activities of a street gang led by the fiendish "X" (Mario Van Peebles, in a breakthrough role). Of course, Eastland has already been up to his old tricks by torching various criminal scum, but is he going to be ready for this particularly sadistic gang?

The viewer can have an interesting time checking out the early appearances by actors who would go on to become busy and recognizable if not famous: Irwin Keyes, Arye Gross, Thomas Calabro, and John Turturro, who has a bit. The gang members basically come across as cartoons and there's a certain goofy quality to a lot of the dialogue, performances, and situations. (If nothing else, the audience may find "Exterminator 2" laughable enough to be entertaining.) The music is also particularly amusing, providing the perfect accompaniment for assorted violent goings on. Ginty is reasonably engaging although his character of Eastland was a more compelling individual the first time. Faison is superb and shows off a natural charisma. And Van Peebles makes the most of his demented & depraved role, making for a pretty good antagonist.

Especially entertaining is seeing Ginty turn Faisons' garbage truck into an assault vehicle and watching the final cat-and-mouse chase between hero and villain. There's plenty of characters going up like Roman candles to keep the viewers interested.

All in all, this is decent enough, and it might be worth watching it along with, say, "Death Wish II" and/or "Death Wish 3" for a dose of vigilante vs. gang escapism.

Six out of 10.

The First Exterminator film is a cult classic among fans of Revenge and exploitation flicks, however this film for a long time was not, until just recently, Exterminator 2 (1984) Is an interesting film because it didn't turn out like it should have, According to many fans and sources it was meant to be a follow up in the same gritty style of its predecessor, however the production company wasn't happy with the final product and demanded a entirely new ending involving a larger action scene as well as some other extra scenes to be added to the rest of the film, So apparently there's an entirely different work print version of the film out there, which would be an interesting watch because the version I am reviewing is the version that was Released in theaters and on VHS, we have yet to get a DVD and if we do I hope we get a special edition with both versions of the film and a documentary.

OK the plot of the film is extremely simple, It picks up 3 or 4 years after the original, and "The Exterminator" (Played by Robert Ginty Once again) is back cleaning up the crime ridden streets of new york, however the crime is even more ferocious than ever before, a new gang is on the Streets lead by a psychotic gang leader called "X" (Mario Van Peebles) His plan is basically to take over the entire city of New York by starting to get the public hooked on Drugs and have them join his gang to form an uprising on the entire city.

Now first thing You'll notice is the film's tone is completely different It's no longer dark and gritty and it has more in tone with the MAD MAX movies, THE EXTERMINATOR now wears a welding mask and burns crooks with a flamethrower, the film is still very violent (Depending on which version you get) But its more action oriented, however the problem is the action is not that good, every scene is mashed together and just barely makes sense, The Acting is probably the worst thing about the film, all the actors just seem bored and the punks are just over the top silly, and i don't blame them, the writing in this film is some of the worst ever, and the musical score is just laughable it sounds like it was composed for an old SEGA genesis/mega-drive game, even for its time it was bad, however it could've been good if they had better production values on the film, which is another major problem, the film's budget was extremely low and it dwarfs my mind on why that is, the first film was a financial success so you'd think they would give a bigger budget for the sequel, but this is produced by GOLAN GLOBUS after all so its expected, but even for them it was still low budget being made for only $3 million when they made other films for 5 to 10 million dollars.

Now after Ripping pretty hard on this film, I gotta give it some slack because in some strange and screwy way it was entertaining, Because When Watching it you can't help but think "You Know this could've been a Great Idea for a Comic Book" Indeed this film's tone is not far from the truth it has that comic book feel, even the Cover and poster art makes you think so, Not only that The main villain "X" Is hilariously entertaining to watch, he hams up the role just enough not to annoy you, And the final Action scene is cool, it involves an armored Garbage truck with guns,rockets and a snow plow attached to the front going through gang members, so this film Does have its entertainment value But Its more of an interesting curiosity to film buffs because of its history, so i suggest checking it out for Curiositys sake.

OVERALL: 5/10

BTW: Make sure you get the U.S version of this film, as its censored heavily in most parts of the world.

Follow-up to the exploitation classic. This one is produced by the Cannon group, which should set off alarm bells given these are the guys who made their fair share of crap back in the 80's, including the Sylvester Stallone arm wrestling movie. True to form Cannon have injected their brand of cheese into this one as well. The Exterminator (Robert Ginty) battles a gang led by Mario Van Peebles. Sporting an impressive flat-top and clobber that would not have looked out of place in The Warriors, Van Peebles chews up the scenery at every given opportunity; Ginty, on the other hand, acts like he is heavily sedated throughout. There is a lot more explosions in this sequel and Ginty drives around in a garbage truck rigged up like a tank. The stupid level has been ramped up at the expense of the scuzz factor basically and this is a more typical cheesy 80's actioner for the most part, while it sports an often truly terrible soundtrack. Still, I did find it enjoyable enough as these things go.

I had high expectations on this sequel to James Glickenhaus' ultra violent and hyper nihilistic vigilante classic The Exterminator (1980). The sequel, Exterminator 2 (1984), is directed by Mark Buntzman, who produced the original Exterminator film. Both films star Robert Ginty as The Exterminator, who cleans cities of scum and dirt, like pimps, violent youth gang members and other criminals. There's no plot in this sequel. It has Mario Van Peebles as X, the main villain in some gang which has some ridiculous rituals and kills people without reason. Exterminator happens to wipe out some of the X' gang's members, and now X wants to kill the Exterminator. This is the "plot" of this film which has nothing to offer but stupid situations and dialogue. Damn was I disappointed!

The social commentary and nihilistic atmosphere of the first and original The Exterminator is very strong even today and the film hasn't lost its power during all these years. The Exterminator 2 however is very inept technically and in any imaginable cinematic level. The characters are stupid and irritating, there's laughing, screaming and running without any reason and there's also stupid love affair between Ginty and his girl friend, a dancer. Their love making scene is totally horrible as it tries to be romantic and emotional. This film fails perhaps in every level and maybe I feel it even more since I love the first film so much. This time Ginty uses his flame thrower which was on the cover art only in the first film. Most of his killings are committed by this fire weapon, and the overall nihilism in the form of graphic violence and gritty urban settings from part one are totally missing in this sequel. I love vigilante films, but this I cannot love even if I wanted to. This film has nothing to give and it is also very stupid and also boring so it cannot be recommended even as a piece of trash.

The Exterminator 2 gets 2/10 from me and that's only because of some unintentional turkey elements, which I found amusing. Still, I would like to love this film as I love the first, classic Exterminator film. Track down this sequel ONLY if you're very curious to see this (as I was), but don't expect anything from the film, even if you get the uncut version. I watched the uncut and pretty rare Greek tape, and also Danish tape (among others) is uncut. The old Finnish and British versions are cut. But then again, I don't know would the cuts really harm this piece of crap?

Robert Ginty says at one point "I feel like I've been here before"; well, those were my feelings exactly. I thought the original "Exterminator" was a pretty bad film with only a few memorable gore scenes to recommend it, but this is far worse. Made only to cash in on the first film's popularity, this is too boring to succeed even as a low-budget actioner with no other ambitions. The plot is so thin it can't even sustain its 85 minutes, and Ginty....well, he barely exists as a person. (*1/2)

Just like John Rambo this movie captures a vet pushed past his limit but this time in an urban massacre film. I saw this film as a teenager in the 80's. I always appreciated the straight forward good guy kills bad guy with minimal exposition way of the 80's.

I don't suppose that anyone was desperately waiting to see a sequel to James Glickenhaus' modest exploitation cult-hit "The Exterminator", but it sure is more than welcome! Besides, can you honestly blame director Mark Buntzman and the good people at Cannon Film Group for wanting to cash-in further on the still immensely popular trend of violent and rancid early '80s vigilante movies? Of course not! Charles Bronson kept on making inferior sequels to "Death Wish", the theme got used in a sequel to the "Dirty Harry"-series ("Sudden Impact") and there were numerous other vigilante flicks being unleashed on the market ("Vigilante", "Fighting Back", "Suburbia"…), so why shouldn't "Exterminator II" have the right to exist? The problem – or the coolest part, it depends how you look at it - with this film is that it doesn't have an actual plot. Protagonist John Eastland, a former Vietnam veteran living in New York, still roams the streets at night with his indispensable flamethrower and barbecues all the criminal scumbags that he encounters. His main opponents now are the self-declared drug lord X and his posse. X is a flamboyant psychopath slash aspiring ballet dancer – or so he behaves – and murders innocent people for fun! John finds a new best friend and partner in crime in the persona of garbage truck driver Bee Gee and he falls in love with nightclub dancer Caroline. You can imagine that John gets very, very angry when they are both annihilated by X and his gang… Obviously "Exterminator II" is a worthless and totally redundant piece of '80s trash, but it is incredibly fun to watch with friends and plenty of beer & pizzas! The film is utmost politically incorrect, racist and sexist, but that's exactly why it guarantees unforgettable entertainment! Robert Ginty is the action-movie hero with the least charisma and worst acting skills in cinematic history, but I inexplicably love him and all his work. There are awesome supportive roles for Mario Van Peebles, Frankie Faison and familiar face Irwin Keyes, while actress Deborah Geffner has the questionable honor of appearing half- naked most of the film and share a very anti-erotic sex sequence with Ginty. There's blood, nihilistic violence and sadist burning aplenty, while at the same time there is absolutely no emphasis on suspense, dialog or character development. The ideal late-night entertainment, in other words!

i've read some bad comments about this film on this site, mainly from people who i think took even the first film rather too seriously. this is a brilliant piece of absurd 80's action, dutifully modelled on the superb death wish series. the "street punks" are one of the best features and resemble the b*****d offspring of the warriors and mad max 2. the exterminator himself spends most of the film going berserk with a flamethrower and at one point he operates a rubbish truck armed with remote control machine guns. the action is interspersed with ridiculous love scenes involving a stripper. although i think this film does lack some of the quality of the original i found it just as enjoyable and anyone who can appreciate the death wish series should certainly enjoy this

I'll give them credit - unlike the original 'Exterminator' - he actually wields a flamethrower here and roasts bad guys. Robert Ginty returns from the first film and this is more of a straight up vigilante flick. Not the same level of creepy sleaze, but it will please low level action fans. It also has an interesting production history.

John Eastland (Ginty) is still roaming the streets of New York battling crime. He ends up dating a dancer (Deborah Geffner) and gets a job from friend Pee-Gee (Frankie Faison) as a fellow garbageman. Gang leader X (Mario Van Peebles) is looking to take things to the next level. Amongst their acts they rob an armored car to fund a drug buy from the mob. Of course, it won't end without a final confrontation between the two.

'Exterminator 2' delivers on what it's selling, but that doesn't stop certain beats from being boring. Knowing the film's troubled history beforehand explained some of the plot roughness, but Cannon Films also did a halfway decent job of salvaging the picture when they couldn't get Ginty for reshoots. It also features some break dancing which they had struck gold earlier in 1984 with.

Exterminator 2 (1984) tells the story of Vietnam vet John Eastland, the famous New York flame-thrower wielding vigilante from the first film (The Exterminator (1980)) In this sequel, John meets up with a new friend,Bee-Gee, a garbage man, and then gets a job as a garbage man, and starts to go out with a dancer from a night club. (John's life must be really good!) But, when his dancer-girlfriend is attacked by a ruthless street gang led by X, John decides he must take revenge. This is overall a remake of the first film, directed by Mark Buntzman (who produced the first Exterminator) As a whole, this is not a bad sequel. Original,no. Action packed,no. But it is a fun movie with actor Robert Ginty returning as John Eastland, and one of the first (if not the first) film role by Mario Van Peebles. Also look out for Arye Gross-star of House II:The Second Story. The movie appeared that it could have been very violent and fairly gory like the first one, but this seems unfortunately cut and toned down for the R-rating. They should have made another exterminator movie...

Godawful sequel to a pretty damn good urban revenge thriller... Ginty is back but original director James Glickenhaus is not. And that's the problem right there, as the film's original producer, Mark Buntzman, thought he had what it took to write, produce AND DIRECT this misfire. Well, to be blunt, he DIDN'T.

Can a film be both boring and sadistic at the same time? Exterminator 2 answers these questions but not a whole lot more. Ginty's Exterminator is seen in the beginning of the film listening to a police scanner where a dispatcher is requesting backup to a liquor store that is being robbed. The hilariously evil perpetrators are seen torturing and killing the owners in a contrived scene that simply sets up what's next: a scene in the alley outside where our vigilante friend burns these guys with a flame thrower. From here on it's apparent that writer/director Buntzman decided to throw out the window any thoughts of social relevance and just make an urban action flick. Exterminator 2 fails at that as well. Ginty is partially to be blamed as he sleepwalks through this film though he isn't given a very good script. For instance, we aren't given any insight into why he wishes to continue his vigilante ways. The first film set these motives up well as he was prompted by not only his best friend getting crippled for life by a thoughtless group of thugs, but by the casual everyday crime he witnessed on the streets (not to mention the ineffectual response from the police). The viewer who did not watch the first Exterminator would have no idea as to why he wanders the streets killing people.

The rest of the cast looks uncomfortable with the exception of Mario Van Peebles as "X" -- a gang leader who gives a gleefully evil performance that looks like something borrowed from the script of Cannon's similar "Death Wish III" movie.

Well, you've been warned...

It's those trash movies that are enjoyable and pleasant to watch, all elements are here, the casting is second step, the plot is the same of the previous one, the bad guys are weird and crazy, mix up and you have this amazing trash movie from the eighties in fact this sequel is a blaxploitation, leading a gang Mario Van Pleebles as X in a priceless acting, another interesting character is Frankie Faison as Be Gee a Negro too on a stunning performance and finally Robert Ginty a lonely guy who get revenge against the the evil ones, a little inferior than The Exterminator but still good, l love this kind of trash movies!!

Thanks for reading.

Resume:

First watch: 1993 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 5.5.

As a big fan of the first film, this poorly put together piece of crap was a huge let down. The writer/director James Glickenhaus who put together the first film had nothing to do with this(which was a huge mistake). Enter Mark Buntzman(who produced the1st film) is to blame for this horrendous and really stupid sequel. Thankfully, for the movie watching world he was never allowed to direct a movie ever again. While the 1st film had its flaws(and a very low budget), the movie seems to have been taken seriously by the people that made it and has a story a that makes sense with a greater sense of realism and interesting characters. This film has an incoherent plot line, a silly tone and one of the most annoying(and cheesy film scores of all time). Robert Ginty returns as The Exterminator and barely resembles the dark anti hero from the original film. Mario Van Peebles is a really lame and stereotypical villan that stole Mad Max's wardrobe and has a hairdo like Grace Jones. The action scenes are pretty lame, there is no memorable dialouge and the film is poorly acted, directed and put together over all. Granted this was the 80's, but the film is painfully cheesy,and does not resemble the bleak and bad ass first film.

The man with the flamethrower, vigilante John Eastland (Robert Ginty) returns to drink a beer in a bar and to fry some more villains. Between two fries, he finds some time to make love with a very tender dancer at the bar, Caroline(Deborah Geffner). "Attractions" this time: a garbage truck that makes cleaning among villains, a coffin with drugs and others not so very well inspired. It has a lot of music in it, it is clear that the director (Mark Buntzman) or the producers liked 80s music, especially the breakdance genre. In fact, all the film can be considered a long music video with some action (fries) in between. The actors are questionable if not lamentable. Deborah Geffner is most compelling. Noted John Turturro in a minor role. Just to have a sequel, as usual, much lower than the first part.

As a movie itself, Exterminator 2 is pretty bad. But, that doesn't stop it from being an awesomely awful 80's action flick. Thanks to the Action Movie 4 Pack that was just released, Exterminator 2 has come to DVD. I'm a huge fan of the first movie- it was a great, brutal, visceral vigilante flick. The Exterminator was taking out the trash of the streets in crafty, violent, and satisfying ways. This time around, he has somehow donned a flamethrower.

The plot is fairly simple: Baddies are back at it in New York and the leader of a gang, X, wants to take over the city. The Exterminator, of course, gets involved and exterminates all the bad guys.

The movie has it's moments, but for the most part loses the gritty and grimy feeling the first had, and was so well known for. The soundtrack is hilarious; if I had been in a different room I would honestly think someone was playing Super Nintendo. I'm one hundred percent serious about that too, the soundtrack sounds like it was ripped *straight* from a Super Nintendo game, and I guarantee anyone who's played Super Nintendo will agree with me.

Though what the movie lacks compared to it's predecessor, it makes up with how fun it is. Robert Ginty all mocked up in a over-sized welder's mask and massive flamethrower frying the street scum for 90 minutes works well, but it becomes slow at times. The end showdown between The Exterminator and X is awesome, and makes up for the boring portions. Oh, and there's also a random, totally unnecessary sex scene, pushing the movie into the boundaries of "Stereotypical Action Movie" category.

Overall, this movie is fun by itself, and I'm sure a lot more fun with a couple buddies who are ready and willing to rip on it. I will certainly be bringing this flick to my next get together with friends, and I'm sure great times are to be had.

The late Robert Ginty could really show humanity and compassion in his performances, an actor I really would of like to have met, yet he's continually in this and other stuff. Our vigilante John Eastman has returned, so it's time to bring out that flamethrower again. He falls in love with a beautiful dancer, while tagging with vet buddy (Faison) in his disposal truck where the human vermin deserve to be in the back. Peebles, playing it bad really well, a side we don't see from this versatile actor, plays gang leader X, responsible for crippling Ginty's girlfriend, destroying her dreams, and later killing her, leaving his signature boldly branded on her back, so a much wanted and hungry revenge for the viewer in these cliché near endings, ensues. Some sequels like this are excuses, to keep the series running for a little while longer, dragging them out. Some "really suck" sequels have shown such desperation for their existence. Exterminator 2 is just a forgettable one, as if almost non existent. It's just a little part of story added on to the last, both shows set a couple of years apart, the original one, too sick for words. Ginty at the time, represented the film, that actually won an award for stunts or something. We know one award it won't win, or be nominated for. Horrible music score that sounds like it jammed in the tape recorder.
