This movie was funny for all the wrong reasons. Its attempt at humour and blatant rip-offs of the scenes in the original movie were hilarious. I think Ackroyd must have known how crummy it was but knew many of us would laugh at the fact that he made it.
The original was wonderful and a classic. I'll often watch a scene or two just to rev me up.

Pitiful. Why people want to revisit, remake classics, make sequel's is just beyond me. History has proven that 99% of the time, they end up being rubbish.

Ah, touche. I live in Australia and am very proud to know 'Crocodile Dundee' is a local flick. But CD 2 was so putrid that I will never see no.3. I am also furiuos that Hogan had a facelift, THEN DENIED HAVING IT!!

Lets say you and your buddies had a great time at the beach one year (or whatever). It was really memorable, and you really enjoyed it; you all enjoyed it. Don't you think that sometime in the future you'd want to do it again?
Don't you think Dan Akroyd woke up in the morning sometimes and thought to himself the same thing about being Elwood? I would. And I would want to do it again, even if I knew it would never be the same. I might even try to recreate what happened the first time, just for tradition.
I don't think it was meant to be a kick-butt sequel to one-up the first. It was meant to re-visit, and maybe introduce a newer generation to blues and the blues brothers, but mostly for those musicians and Dan to just have fun. Why do you think so many of them came back for this movie. It was Fun.
The storyline was kinda shaky but the music is EXCELLENT!
shareI would like to see it with Rocky Horror style audience participation.
