Let’s just say this wouldn’t pass the Bechdel test.ĭon Michael Paul has been around the block as a director, not least with his fair share of helming sequels. That said if actresses feel they struggle for strong roles in mainstream cinema, they’re positively starved of it in these straight to video flicks. Dolph’s love interest, played by Darla Taylor (who is a mere 30 years younger than Dolph) has little to do. The rest of the cast are okay whilst Bill Bellamy, as chief comedic support, is pretty good. He’s got the charisma to make the film watchable. He’s not nearly as awkward (in the wrong way) as the trailer suggested. That aside it follows the first film’s formula fairly closely, from the action opening, to blossoming romance, to troubled kids suffering at the hands of abusive parents. That is the main difference between this and the first film. They’re all delightfully behaved and regimented.

None of the kids eat processed sugars or gluten.
#KINDERGARTEN COP 2 PC#
Kindergarten Cop 2 has its moments and has a few wry observations, not least the PC gone made modern era, and interesting observations on schools normally reserved for the wealthy and privileged. There have been plenty of cheap and woeful straight to video sequels, including the wretched Jingle All The Way 2. Is it as downright abysmal as you might expect? Not at all. The school in question is a modern, politically correct, health and safety, fad mad place which goes right against Agent Reed’s (Lundgren) old school personality. This time the bungling lawman tasked with the mission is after a flashdrive containing life or death information, which is also being hunted by Russian criminals.

Dolph plays an FBI agent (But wait…it’s still called Kindergarten…erm…Cop…) who must go undercover in a school. We now have a direct to DVD follow up starring Dolph Lundgren. It’s an Ahnuld film I particularly enjoy, even if it’s never quite sure whether it’s an Arnold film or a family friendly jape. The original didn’t particularly pick up rave reviews on its release but it had a good box office return and has endeared itself upon audiences more and more over the years. “It’s not a tumour!” Right, now that’s out the way, that brings us nicely to the somewhat unexpected sequel to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1990 cult favourite, Kindergarten Cop.

Assigned to recover sensitive stolen data, a gruff FBI agent goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher, but the school’s liberal, politically correct environment is more than he bargained for.
