Arnie had so many classic lines in the original like “it’s not a tumah” and other such beauties but there really isn’t much to quote here. None of the kids are developed as characters and are really just… there they aren’t even particularly funny which is a shame as there could have been potential. It also feels quite long with a side-story about Dolph dating a hot kindergarten teacher which kills the pacing. The villains are pretty one note and forgettable too but it does at least have some decent production values and what action there is was well done.Ī shoot-out at the start was pretty cool and a brief fight scene between Dolph and two goons and a climactic fight with the main villain but aside from that there really isn’t anything spectacular. Overall, Kindergarten Cop 2 wasn’t quite the train wreck we expected but it’s hardly great either. There were a few entertaining moments and Dolph is always watchable. I’d probably watch a 3 rd movie as long as it had Jason Statham calling the kids “little cahnts” and was named Kindergarten Cahnt.The movie opens with Schwarzenegger and his cop partner ( Pamela Reed) on the trail of a vicious swine of a drug dealer and mama's boy, played with smarmy conviction by Richard Tyson. Tyson and his mother ( Carroll Baker) are eager to discover the whereabouts of his ex-wife and their son. So is Schwarzenegger, because he dreams of nailing this creep, and also because he believes that the ex-wife may have $3 million of Tyson's drug earnings. The trail leads to a storybook town in the Pacific Northwest, where Schwarzenegger and Reed believe the little boy is attending kindergarten. Reed used to be a schoolteacher, and so they convince the local school authorities to let her teach the kindergarten class - hoping to pick up clues even though the little boy and his mother have changed their names. Then Reed gets food poisoning, and it's up to Schwarzenegger to face the screaming hordes of 5-year-olds. "Kindergarten Cop" was directed by Ivan Reitman, whose best work, like " Ghostbusters," shows an ability to mix the absurd with the dramatic, so we're laughing as the suspense reaches its peak.
