808 Darkman II : The Return of Durant ( 1995 )

 This  sequel to  Sam Raimi's  enjoyable comic book  romp of 1990  was a   straight  to  video  affair as   the original did  better on video than the cinema and Liam Neeson was unwilling to return to the role. Instead Arnold Vosloo replaces him. Vosloo's  been OK as a villain in other movies but he's hopelessly miscast here ,leaving the whole film on the shoulders of Larry Drake, returning as the villain Durrant (who's unfeasibly survived the  helicopter crash into a bridge in the first film  with nothing more than a limp). Drake is great although he's not given as many good lines  this time  round aand the film is a tired effort.
