utgard14 Sequel to Mannequin has little in common with the first movie, outside of Meshach Taylor's character Hollywood and the Jefferson Starship song played at the end. A lot of people hated the first Mannequin but I'm one of its fans. It's a movie that never fails to bring a smile to my face, despite its perceived faults. This one is not as good, for a variety of reasons, but it is watchable fluff. It recycles some elements from the first movie but goes in its own direction with the cursed necklace and all that. It's not very funny but there are some laughs here and there. The romance this time doesn't work as well due to the bland chemistry between William Ragsdale and Kristy Swanson. Despite this, both of them are cute and fun individually. Terry Kiser is amusing as the villain. Meshach Taylor aggressively steals every scene he's in. The trio of German bodybuilding guys are very lame. I assume they were put in this because Hans & Franz was a thing on Saturday Night Live back then. Aside from "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", this is a terrible soundtrack. The gagworthy "Can't Believe My Eyes" by Gene Miller (who?) is just one of the tacky songs in this. If you liked Mannequin, give this one a shot but keep expectations low. Oh, and be prepared for a surprising fate for one of the characters. I doubt you'll see it coming.
oceansoflovewi I remember watching this movie when i was around 8 and couldn't get enough of it! It is much more entertaining than the first (even though you gotta love Kim Cattrall!) The whole 'neclace' plot, and the Dracula like villain with his beefy sidekicks made the second story more interesting than the first. OMG and Hollywood is FAN-TABULOUS ha-ha! My favorite scene is when they re-enact Jessies story at the end. It's such a cute movie! And the late 80's, early 90's fashion is always fun to see. Its a good memory from my childhood. Jefferson Starship "Nothings gonna stop us now." What a great ending song!Hope to see it on DVD!
kimchipinoy I don't know what that first commenter was thinking when he/she said that about this movie. Actually he/she has a point. Most movies that are original should NOT have sequels made for them. For example, Mission Impossible. But, this movie, although I loved the first one, actually liked this one better. I think Mesach Taylor plays a very convincing gay man and is really good at the role of Hollywood Montross. If there was to be one role that is to be returning to this plot, Hollywood would be the best one. I actually liked the chemistry between Jason Williamson and Lady Jesse more than Andrew McCarthy and Kim Catrall. This one was a much sweeter movie because it had sweeter parts. Like how they shared a slow dance in that club. That was one. How he took her in mannequin mode all over, even ate with her when she was that way. That combined with the song "I Can't Believe My Eyes", that rendition was the sweetest one I've ever heard. It just made a little more sense how they had her come from Britain whereas Kim Catrall came from Egypt? That doesn't make sense. Plus the ending swordfight, was a good touch. Loved it. Too bad they don't make it on DVD. PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND IT ON DVD. THANK YOU!
Kristine Even though this is a pretty badly made movie, it's something that I just enjoyed when I was a kid. I think because I was in my princess and "damsel in distress" phase.Watching this movie now, it is pretty ridicules. I mean, the whole history back flash in the beginning, now I know this is a movie and it is supposed to be fairy tale like, but the peasant girl having a beautiful dress and cape with perfect hair and make up? Just didn't make sense. The knights were complete wusses when in real life they were trained to take a sword through a gut and continue in battle.And the acting, yes it's pretty bad. But again, this was just something that I enjoyed as a kid. For the kids, just let them have fun with it. But as a movie for adults in a serious train of mind, just ignore it.4/10
