Extras;
Nothing, all the extras seen on the DVD are now gone.
0/5
Picture Quality;
The transfer is taken from a dated source which shows heavy grain most of the time but has some great detail in some shots. It is a great upgrade from the DVD and better than most of paramount's other catalog titles.
3.5/5
Audio Quality;
The 5.1 DTS HD master audio is very clear and the biggest improvement over other releases is the music. the music is now clear and the dialogue can be easily heard.
4/5
Overall it may not be as comedic as the first film but it has a lot of funny moments and some great action scenes. The main cast returns on form and the film seems more polished likely due to it's $20 million budget. A sequel worth watching and the best to date, Murphy is on fire in this one.
Recommended!
