Ancora in fuga con papà

The first "Fast Getaway" was an enjoyable action-packed ride with likable characters, and this sequel is a bit on the slow side but still has a bit of charm.

Most of the characters return, and of course Corey Haim as Nelsen runs the show. His dad, played by Leo Rossi is underused but funny, and of course Cynthia Rothrock returns as Lily, but not using her martial arts skills that much at all unfortunately.

Nelsen's business partner Patrice is played by Sarah Buxton who is very gorgeous, and together they look to take down a counterfeit scam run by Lily, who has partners we never really get to know. In the middle of it all is a corrupt FBI agent (why, imagine that!) trying to take Nelsen down.

Not a mention is made of Nelsen's mom played by Marcia Strassman in the first film, and the development of the whole Potter family running to Canada seems to be ignored. But "Fast Getaway II" is still a fun trip but it definitely helps if you have seen the first and get to like the characters, as if this was a film with new characters it wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable.

This very low budget comedy caper movie succeeds only in being low budget. Dialog is dumbfoundingly stupid, chase scenes are uniformly boring, and most of the on-screen money seems to have been saved for a series of crashes and explosions in a parking lot during the film's last five minutes (a briefly glimpsed port-a-potty early in that scene is certain to wrecked and spew crap on the film's chief villain--no prop is here without a purpose). The whole film is depressingly reminiscent of those that occasionally came out of Rodger Corman's studio when he'd give a first time director a few bucks and a camera--but without the discipline Corman would impose.

any movie with corey haim in it is extremely cute!!! especially this movie, his sweet charm, and that sexy smile just make me want to melt!!!! Corey Haim deserves much applause for any movie that he makes, i just wish he made more movies recently.

Well, despite the venom of the other comment on this movie, it's not as bad as all that. If this movie was ever released at the theaters, that was a mistake, because it was designed to be a straight to late night cable film.

If you're a fan of the original Fast Getaway (and granted not that many are), then this is a nice little sequel. Corey Haim has always been my favorite for delivering light fun performances that give you the impression he was having fun at work, and this is another example. While the premise was cheesy, the bank robbery scam is a surprisingly interesting concept that I think a film with more backing should explore sometimes.

Also, while I've never liked Cynthia Rothrock in anything, I liked revisiting the chemistry that Haim and Leo Rossi had in the first movie. They are seem comfortable together, and it comes through in the father son relationship of the characters. I think Sarah Buxton was always an under used actress, but I enjoyed her in this film. Coincidentally, she was also in Corey Feldman's most underrated film, Rock and Roll High School Forever. Peter Liapis does well with a seriously flawed and two dimensional character of Renkin, the FBI agent who refuses to believe that Nelson (Haim) could ever be anything but a crook.

This movie is basically fluff. But it never pretends to be anything but. It's a nice 'nothing better on so let's watch some butt kicking and car chasing' movie. And if you're a fan of the Corey's in general, it's worth a couple hours when you're bored and watching late night cable.

There are many films that have graced the motion picture industry that have touched our hearts. Such films as Double Team, Bio-Dome, Last Action Hero, Super Mario Brothers, Dude Where's My Car, Car 54: Where are you?, Vampire in Brooklyn, Barb Wire, The Ambulance, etc. left a permanent dent in our lives taking away many countless hours from our existence that we can NEVER get back! Speaking on behalf of the boring city of Tucson, Arizona a place where such actors as Stephen Baldwin (Fled), Don Johnson (Tin Cup), and Don Swayze (Death Wish) are seen as Legends. This town has marked the pinnacle for outstanding leaps and bounds in film history (Except the movie TombStone with Kurt Russell, that movie was f**king brilliant!). But back to the issue at hand which is the AUDACIOUS film Fast Getaway II. Corey Haim has graced this town with his Oscar caliber abilities. Not to mention his co-star in the film Leo Rossi who has made as much winners of films as Eric Roberts. This movie like its counterpart film Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man depict Tucson out to be a complex labyrinth of NASCAR streets that are filled with twist and turns that would blow Steve McQueens MIND! Which is so far from the truth it's not even funny. The box office intake on this film made any movie with Clint Howard to be a Hollywood SMASH! As of this date and for years to come I will be the only person to review this God-awful movie. I write this review only to myself knowing that nobody will ever lookup this Sh**ty movie. In conclusion I'd rather sit on a cactus than watch this raunchy movie again!!
