Lawnmower Man 2: BeyondCyberspace ★★ Lawnmower Man 2: Jobe's War 1995 (PG-13)

Resurrecting Jobe (the title character from number one) was easy. So was blowing off his face to explain the new actor (Frewer in for Fahey) playing him. The hard part was tring to make an original movie with a decent script and believable characters. Better luck next time. Corporate baddie Walker (Conway) enlists Jobe to (what else?) take over the world using Virtual Reality. To the rescue comes one burned-out computer expert (Bergin) and a group of VR-addicted kids living in an abandoned subway. Techno-babble abounds but nothing interesting ever happens. Mann and Frewer must've raided their old “Max Headroom” set for the dreary near-future L.A. landscape scenes. 93m/C VHS, DVD . Patrick Bergin, Matt Frewer, Austin O'Brien, Kevin Conway, Ely Pouget, Camille (Cami) Cooper; D: Farhad Mann; W: Farhad Mann; C: Ward Russell; M: Robert Folk.
