His pal Agent Sanders (Bellamy) tries keeping him on the straight-and-narrow, but Reed's having none of that. When he's not washing his clothes in an old oil barrel or something he's falling in love with his female marks, one by one. ) who lives an iconic loner's life in an airstream trailer by a beautiful lake. A sequel in name only, KC2 features Lundgren as Agent Reed, a tough-as-nails, loose cannon type of FBI Agent (no clichés here. It's ubiquity in streaming circles means you'll either need to make the conscious choice to watch it, or it'll just happen on its own, eventually. On your way there (to hell) you might find Kindergarten Cop 2 playing in the background, and you'll realize hell might not be all that bad after all.Īt least that's what we say about Kindergarten Cop 2, starring the stoic Swede Dolph Lundgren, and the criminally underused Bill Bellamy it's not all that bad. What's a 'rental' you ask? What's a counter? Oh man, the Internet has sent to world to hell in a hand basket.
When Lundgren does it, he's stiff, awkward, and probably in need of a few handfuls of Aspirin.Netflix has kind of taken the fun out of reviewing DVDs, what with stuff like Kindergarten Cop 2 streaming seemingly well before you can even drop your bucks on the rental counter for a peek. When Schwarzenegger lifts a child in nostril-flaring frustration, it's pretty damn funny. My point is in addition to lacking Schwarzenegger's personality and charisma, he's lacking the physical presence that automatically finds humor in the contrast between him and the tiny children.

Not that you'd know it by the multiple women and a gay man throwing themselves his direction, but watch the guy try to move fast (here or in any of his recent DTV action movies).

The kids grow on Kimble, though, as he learns to love and communicate without scaring the crap out of them, but soon after he finds the woman he's searching for, her murderous ex arrives in town intent on abducting his son and killing anyone in his way.
Kimble is clueless about kids – his female partner was originally going to do it, but she fell ill – and his efforts to question them like suspects isn't gaining any traction with them or the school's principal, who's allowed his presence with a very short leash. (Although you could make an argument for 1987's The Running Man being a comedy too.) Reitman was the genius responsible for seeing the potential in the big Austrian playing against type, and he followed it a couple years later with Kindergarten Cop, which casts him as a tough cop who goes undercover in an elementary school in the hopes of identifying a killer's estranged ex-wife and son before the bad guy finds them first. Schwarzenegger's comedy career may have started with 1979's The Villain, but he became a comedic lead for the first time in 1988's Twins.
