How often do you get to see an early 80s alien splatterfest that is generally good natured? Often something this gore drenched feels kinda nasty or mean spirited, not here. 
Also super DIY, a testament to aiming high on a budget and making something glorious. I wish this director had made more movies.

Kinda like Xtro 2 but on an island, now they’re not Giger Aliens, they’re kinda “Grays” who spin webs and howl like jaguars. They’ve also adjusted the Alien / Predator rip-off recipe to favor Pedator flavor. 
Plus no uber checked out Jan Micheal Vincent.....so it’s not great.

Everything that made part one awesome and more. 
Super dangerous looking analog stunts. Dudes flying through windows, on fire, covered in squibs. Dialog so hard boiled it’s poetic comedy but never too winky. 

We’re dealing with a movie so badass Danny Trejo is in an holding tank establishing shot and never seen again.

Robert Downey Jr & James Spader acting their asses off while Andrew Macarthy & Jamie Gertz just try to keep up (and fail). 
Also opened the door for Requiem for a Dream and that I can never forgive.
