Before watching this at a recent RiffTrax event I had only seen bits and pieces of it, and the first movie, on TV before since it seemed to play on cable TV quite a bit. The first film was directed by Wes Craven and featured Adrienne Barbeau. This time we get Jim Wynorski(of CHOPPING MALL fame) and Heather Locklear so my expectations were not very high. It also doesn't help that this has nothing to do with the actual comic book character and is instead just a silly superhero movie but that was pretty much the norm as far as comic book adaptations at that time went. The annoying kid characters and general dumbness certainly didn't make me want to go back and watch the original anytime soon.
