A sequel only points up the resemblance of the original to a TV series. Our special-effects wizard, now retired from films, is busy inventing high-tech children's toys when he is beckoned back into police work (with dire consequences once again for a peripheral female). Cleverness far outbalances believableness in his displays of wizardry -- and cleverness would get him nowhere without a lot of good luck and the obliging co-operation of his victims. Bryan Brown, Brian Dennehy, Philip Bosco; directed by Richard Franklin. (1991) — Duncan Shepherd
