  • Eddie’s ad-libbed comedy bits have aged worst; they worked better in the first movie.
  • Leaving out the first film’s female lead is lamented; even a four-minute art-gallery scene would have helped.
  • Bronson Pinchot’s absence also hurts, and Simpson should have gotten ABC to release him for a few scenes.
  • Axel is asexual again with not a hint of romance, unlike Reggie in 48 Hours.
