"I Want Him Alive, And Her... Dead!"...
1 July 2019
Evicted from their homestead in a bloody shootout, Wilma McClatchie (Angie Dickinson) and her daughters, Polly and Billie Jean (Julie McCullough and Danielle Brisebois) must fall back on their penchant for armed robbery to survive.

Let the fun begin!

Basically, one big gun battle after another, interrupted by nudity, BIG BAD MAMA 2 is Director Jim Wynorski's cheeeze-filled sequel to Roger Corman's cult classic. This time, Robert Culp is along for the frivolous festivities.

As with the first film, Ms. Dickinson is what saves it from being a total abomination. Without her, this wouldn't be just schlock, it would be far more burdensome schlock! While nowhere near as good as the original, it does have a certain charm, usually involving the McClatchie sisters!

Actually, what hurts BBM2 the most is the fact that the first movie was shot in the 1970's, and had that aesthetic going for it. This movie was made in the late 1980's, and definitely has that decade's low-budget clunk-i-tude going on!

The final conflict is especially amazing, as the apparently-immortal McClatchies take on the entire police force!

Sooo, STEP ONE: Remove your brain and put it in your pocket. STEP TWO: Pray for the best, but expect the worst. STEP THREE: Enjoy...
