This sequel to the 1992 film "Lawnmower Man" has
Jobe (Matt Frewer) trying to create and then take over a virtual reality (VR) world. Also
with Patrick Bergin, Austin O'Brien, Ely Pouget, Camille Cooper, Patrick LaBrecque,
Crystal Celeste Grant, Sean Parhm, Mathew Valencia, Kevin Conway, Trever O'Brien, Richard
Fancy, Ellis Williams, Castulo Guerra and Molly Shannon. [1:30]
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A couple of kisses.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A group of people are threatened with laser and real guns;
several are shot (their bodies jerk and we see blood spurting). A couple of people are
killed in VR and are seemingly electrocuted. Some explosions; a badly burned man is shown
a couple of times and fireballs chase some kids. Kids get into a VR scene and fall, are
chased and shot at and nearly die (a little blood comes out of one kid's nose). Two men
swordfight in VR. A helicopter and a plane crash (the pilots are screaming) and a subway
train barrels down on another subway train.
PROFANITY 5 - Two F-words, a couple of scatological references and some mild
obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - VR, megalomania, computers and technology.
MESSAGE - We must respect technology and science but be careful to use them
for good purposes.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
