Half-sequel, half-remake
May 10, 2005
smatysia - imdb.com
I agree with most of the past commentators. This film is a half-sequel, half-remake. So many elements were simply copied from the original film. I'm sure the filmmakers considered this homage, but it comes off as a lack of ideas.... Full review
This is a pretty entertaining sequel, but totally inferior to the original in almost every way!. I enjoyed this film quite a bit, however a lot of it is rehashed,and it had some shocking but bizarre plot twists, don't get... Full review
Revenge of the 80's: The sequel!

Joseph P. Ulibas - imdb.com
Another 48 Hrs. (1990) was another sequel. During the 80's any movie that made the slightest of profits made a sequel. For one reason only, to make even more money. However many producers never made another dime off of the... Full review

Really more of a remake than a sequel as the similarities between this installment and the original eight years earlier are mind-blowing. Once again Nick Nolte is a San Francisco cop who gets convict Eddie Murphy out of prison a... Full review

Before 'Another 48 Hours' was released, things were already in an uproar. Nick Nolte and others involved with the movie, vowed never to work with Eddie Murphy again. There were constant spats on the set with the biggest complaint that... Full review

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!"Another 48 Hours" is a waste of time, talent and space.Why?Because ANYONE who saw the first film could see the plot holes. Plot holes that are big enough to fall through, along with 10 other people.Apparently, Jack Cates... Full review

It's a good thing that director Walter Hill has waited 8 years before making a sequel of the original "48 hrs." If he had released this film immediately after the first one, it would have become a flop. The reason... Full review

I'll be the first to admitt that the sequel probably isn't as good as the original, but for some reason i get much more enjoyment from watching it. Perhaps it's due to the fact that Murphy gets to show off... Full review
Another Bad Sequel
Jun 26, 1999
cheese-14 - imdb.com
Sometimes it's better to leave things alone. Whereas the original 48 Hours was a well written and acted version of the "buddy-cop" films, the sequel is uninspired and drawn out version of the first. The audience soon loses interest in... Full review

Washington Post
The movie isn't a disaster, and if you responded to the first one, its memory may carry you over the roughness, the excessive, ugly violence and lack of conviction here. But Murphy's charm is of the patented variety -- he laughs his funny laugh on cue because it's his star signature. ... Full Review

In fact, it was the preposterous built onto the preposterous that eventually wore down my patience with "Another 48HRS. The first film had laughs and action and thrills from the first frame to the last. ... Full Review

Chicago Sun-Times
Now it's time for him to make a good movie. If it does nothing else, "Another 48 HRS" reminds us that Murphy is a big, genuine talent. It's an aimless scene with a lot of loose ends, a reminder of how well the earlier scene worked. ... Full Review

Another 48 Hrs.
mtv.com1990-06-08
At times, Another 48 Hrs. seems less like a sequel to than a parody of the first 48 Hrs., especially when Nick Nolte, repeating his role from the earlier film, begins commenting on the cliched absurdity of the goings on. ... Full Article

Well what did you possibly expect? You expected Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) and Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy) team up again for 48 hours and solve a case, right? ... Full Article
