The Executioner Part II (1984)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Obviously made to cash-on on the popularity of such vigilante action pictures as "Death Wish" and "The Exterminator," this uproariously awful crud looks like it was shot on a paltry budget of roughly fifty bucks. After beginning with some badly staged Vietnam war combat footage, the story proper kicks in: Crazed traumatized 'Nam vet automobile mechanic Mike (a simply terrible performance by Antoine John Mottet) can't stand all the rampant crime in his strife-ridden urban neighborhood, so he starts violently rubbing out assorted low-life scum like rapists, drug pushers, pimps, street gang members, and mobsters. Mike's fellow 'Nam vet best buddy Lt. Roger O'Malley (a sleepwalking Christopher Mitchum, who sports a bushy mustache) naturally turns out to be the cop determined to nab Mike. Boy, does this gloriously ghastly garbage possess all the right wrong stuff to qualify as a real four-star stinkeroonie; we've got slapdash (mis)direction by James Bryan (who also blessed us with the similarly shabby splatter slasher schlockfest "Don't Go in the Woods"), uneven stop'n'go pacing, ragged editing, laughable tin-eared dialogue ("I'm the king," a nasty would-be rapist sneers to a whimpering female victim), ratty cinematography, lots of clunky Vietnam flashbacks, pathetic acting (Aldo Ray hams it up to a dreadful extreme as a corrupt police commissioner while Renee Harmon as a pesky journalist renders all her dialogue borderline incomprehensible with her heavy foreign accent), a cheesy generic synthesizer score, ineptly handled action scenes, and an annoyingly abrupt ending. Moreover, this marvelously maladroit mess offers several sidesplitting moments of inspired camp: Mike likes to stuff live grenades down people's pants and two teenage junkie babes get a serious case of the pot giggles while smoking grass together. A total gut-busting riot.

This movie was spectacularly awful and brutally bizarre. This is truly a diamond in the rough. This movie is for those looking for a laugh. However, this movie is not intentionally funny. One of the things that makes it so funny is how awful the acting is. Another thing to note is that there was no Executioner pt. 1 (which only adds to its hilarity).I would suggest that if you enjoy silliness, and you have some friends that do as well, have them over for a night of hysterics.It says I have to have ten lines before it will be submitted. So here is another bit of information: This movie is like a really bad version of Rambo. The grind-house experience in the 80's. It's awesomely bad.

Is it a sequel? Is it a rip-off? Is it the biggest pile of crap you've ever seen or the most entertaining Z-grade exploitation movie ever made? Well actually, the answer to all of these questions (except maybe the first one) is a straight and simple YES! This is clearly a part two to *something*, only nobody knows exactly what the original film was. It's also a shameless cash-in on the contemporary very popular vigilante action movies, like for example "Death Wish" or more particularly "The Exterminator". The film is also irredeemably bad, with a totally unoriginal screenplay, an incoherent structure and awful … AWFUL acting performances. But, and for the exact same reasons, "The Executioner Part II" is simultaneously one of the most hilariously entertaining movies of its type I've ever seen! The movie opens with vague and random footage of the war in Vietnam, trying to dramatically introduce buddy soldiers Mike and Roger nearly getting killed by friendly fire. Back at home in the big city, Mike works as a mechanic in his own garage and Roger suddenly became a prominent police inspector. The rotten, depressing and crime-infested city is ruled by a perverted gangster known as 'The Tattooed Man", who rapes under aged drug-addicted girls and bribes the local politicians. There's also a bloodthirsty avenging angel prowling the streets, and it takes Roger an awful long time before realizing his buddy Mike is the one executing all the criminals like they're Charlies. The film isn't too gory (they probably didn't have the budget for fake blood) but the overall atmosphere is raw and very aggressive. I mentioned it before, but I simply have to mention the acting performances again! They should have handed out Oscars to everyone involved in this laugh riot production, particularly to the woman who plays the journalist and to the dope-smoking teenage girls. The journalist can hardly pronounce a word correctly and the girls act like Beavis & Butt-Head. "The Executioner Part II" is deliciously rancid 80's cheese, impossible to reward with a rating higher than five because it truly really honestly is terrible, but nonetheless highly recommended.

It seems to me that the majority of "bad movies" are pretty boring. Too often we bust a gut laughing when a critic shreds a lousy flick, but we then find that actually watching the movie is a grim experience with few laughs. Fortunately, Executioner 2 is a clunker that delivers.In the early 80s James Bryan wowed the bad film community with Don't Go In the Woods. I found another movie of his, Hellriders, terribly dull. But with Executioner 2 he's back on track. It's your basic vigilante movie, with bad guys running scared and cops embarrassed at the public's support for the vigilante. As was the case in Woods, the dialogue was dubbed (even though the characters were speaking English to begin with). Some not so good acting, a pair of stoner high school girls who are constantly laughing ("oh, heavenly coke!"), and Aldo Ray (of the movie "Bog") make Executioner part 2 a must-see. Sure, some parts are boring, but overall it's worth it. Watch this movie, it will justify your having searched through dozens of other lousy films in your quest for B-Movie Nirvana.
