This was a fairly pleasant surprise. I hate to admit that I'm not a huge fan of the original; I enjoy each half individually, but the tonal shift between the two has never really worked for me. Texas Blood Money is by no means a better movie, but it does the right thing by being campy right from the start.
If you can embrace the B-movie spirit as much as the filmmakers did, there's quite a bit to enjoy. You get some wonky rubber bats, a couple of Hitchcock references, some decent Tarantino-inspired dialogue (namely the discussion of whether pornos need a story), and a fair amount of humor that's actually pretty funny. You also get the first appearance of…

Often unfairly slated, this is actually an entertaining vampire/crime thriller that is best disassociated with the other films in the series. It has a similar vibe to the first but lacks the effortless cool that the original cast and film makers brought, although Robert Patrick and Danny Trejo are as great as they always are.

Espectativa zero para este low budget mal esgalhado, mas deu na televisão por cabo um dia destes e deu-me para o gravar. Mais valia ter estado quieto!

I hated this when it came out, but now that more than a decade has passed, I decided to put the bad blood behind me and try this one again due to my love of the first film and the fact that I didn't realize Scott Spiegel directed it.
And, hey! I like it better now that before. It's certainly not great, though. Why do vampires spend so much time in shoot outs when they can turn into bats and have super strength? Oh well. There's a cool comic vibe to the film, including some very unique cinematography, and the flick seems to take pride in its inherit campiness.
However, the cast is pretty bland. In fact, three of the…

Okay sequel, but some of the camera work makes this film un-watchable at times. Like they literally trying to give every onject in the room a POV shot: a fan, a cooler, inside of a vampire's mouth, etc.
The cast is fine and the effects are good, And the whole two different movie feel is there again. The first half is a heist with one vampire turning everyone else, while the end, which is mad rushed, is the big shootout with all the vampires.

Gave it a sec after seeing Bruce Campbell & Tiffany Amber-Thiessen enter an elevator together, & should've bailed after watching them get mauled by awful CGI bats. But, no, I waited until the umpteenth reverse-POV shot & a super choppy bat attack sequence to call it quits. My deepest apologies to Robert Patrick, Danny Trejo, and Woody Harrelson's bro, all of whom I would've liked to have seen in a less awful macho vampire flick.

Texas Blood Money comes four years after the acclaimed, Robert Rodriguez-directed original. None of the original cast return save for a brief cameo from Danny Trejo, whose character died in the first movie (although there is no clear timeline in this sequel). Rodriguez does not write or direct and both Bruce Campbell and Tiffany-Amber Thiessen appear for two brief and pointless cameos. It’s a lackluster and stand-alone sequel that sees five criminals plan to rob a Mexican bank. The leader of the pack gets into an accident and ends up at the Titty Twister. We only see the bar, which was pretty much destroyed in the previous movie, for a few brief minutes and it seems to only be present…

Special effects are corny. The film tricks used can be annoying and overdone. Great cast of actors for the most part - worth checking out if you are a fan of the series.

albeit an enjoyable film, this film fails to live up to superiority of the original. the special effects and acting are below parr, but does feature an interesting story line. the highlight of the film- BO HOPKINS.
