Kindergarten Cop 2

Since i live in Sweden, and i am swedish, i know everything about Sweden that you need to know. And i have 3 things i always teach people, when i travel around the world.

* You can always trust Runar Sörgaard on doing business with him, especially on boat deals.

* If you watch a film by director Colin Nutley, you will be demon possessed.

* If you want to have a good time, and find where all the beautiful ladies of Sweden is, you have to go to Kramfors, the greatest party place of Sweden.

Wait a second, i forgot the most important detail. The most important information that you really need to know. In Sweden, we only love one icon. Is it Zlatan, or Carolina Gynning ? The only answer is of course, Dolph Lundgren. If you say the name Dolph here in Sweden, they will hug you just like that, they will dance on the streets, of joy. Dolph is the reason to why swedish people are happy, his films make people feel good. I think one of the reasons why swedish people love Dolph so much, is because he is our own Master Of The Universe. Who else can kick ass like him, or say the perfect words ? In fact, i am sure we will have our own bible soon, with the holy words of Dolphs wisdom. Since the early 80´s he have given us many classics to enjoy, and i think most people will always remember his outstanding performance in Rocky 4, as the russian machine Ivan Drago. I would also like to say that Red Scorpion is a great 80´s action classic, that you have to own in you blu ray collection. As the 90´s came along, Dolph continued to deliver quality films, such as Dark Angel, Showdown In Little Tokyo, and of course Universal Soldier. He never stopped doing B movies, so he have basically been doing films ever since the 80´s, mostly in european countries. Does anyone remember the 1990 action comedy Kindergarten Cop ? The one where Arnold Schwarzenegger is a cop who goes undercover as a Kindergarten Teacher ? It might not have been one of his highlights, but you can still laugh at this film, because it was funny to see Schwarzenegger taking care of kids. There was never a sequel made with him, and perhaps he was not interested in going back into another film. So, i did not expect to see a sequel, come out 16 years later, and this time with Dolph Lundgren in the lead role. I actually thought that this is a brilliant idea, because who could replace Schwarzenegger better than Dolph ? With an unexpected sequel in our dvd stores, is this the worthy sequel we all wanted, or should they have left the first film alone ?

Federal Agent Reed ( Dolph Lundgren ) is a tough, but honest agent, who gets the job done. Agent Sanders ( Bill Bellamy ) is his partner, always making sure he makes the right choices. When a witness is supposed to testify against Zogu ( Aleks Paunovic ), a russian gangster, Agent Reed needs evidence, to make sure Zogu will serve his time in jail. They have information that there is a missing flash drive, hidden in a kindergarten school. Since they need to find out where it is located, Reed have an idea. He will go undercover as a Kindergarten teacher, to see if any kids have any important information to where the flash drive might be located. Zogu knows about Reed´s undercover mission, and will do anything to stop them from getting the information.

When you make a sequel from a 90´s classic, you have to make sure to please the fans of the first film. Of course, there are Schwarzenegger fans who hated this film, so you might not please all anyway. When i fist heard that there was going to be a sequel, i was actually surprised. Since the first film came out in 1990, it is a long time between to make a sequel. Even more surprised that Dolph Lundgren was going to be the new kindergarten teacher. So does this sequel manage to deliver enough, entertainment ? This is a pretty simple comedy, and you can´t expect to get any big surprises. You have an FBI agent who goes undercover, and tries working with kids, and it is pretty much the same film as the first one. With that said, i will say that Dolph is the right choice to be in a sequel like this. Because we all know that Dolph can act in anything he does, because he is Dolph - Master Of The Swedish Universe. He is actually funny sometimes, and without him i have a feeling this film would not have managed to keep me interested. This sequel is more a straight to dvd comedy, so you can tell that the quality have changed since the first film. The best scenes is to hear Dolph teach kids what is right and wrong, he could easily be the best teacher you could wish for. There are a few violence scenes, but nothing you might feel is too violent. I think that they tried to make Kindergarten Cop 2 friendly for family dinner. And that is ok, a film like this is supposed to be for young children, and to parents to enjoy ( if they are in the right mood ). Director Don Michael Paul have directed many direct to dvd films, such as Jarhead 2 - Field Of Fire, Sniper: Legacy, Tremors 5: Bloodlines and other films. So you know he likes to deliver quality stories. Kindergarten Cop 2 may not improve his director career, but since he have Dolph in the lead role he manage to make this film better than it actually is. The acting in general is not very good, so basically the whole film is saved from every scene with Dolph, because he can never do anything wrong. Also, the kids do a great job, so well done kids. Is this a good sequel ? Honestly, it could have been better. But there are still some funny scenes, and to see Dolph Lundgren teach kids is simply fantastic. Gather your family, and just go in with an open mind, Dolph will make you feel good, as he always does. By the way Stefan Löfven, where is the Dolph staute in Stockholm ? Time to get this made, so people worldwide know that Abba is not the biggest trademark of our country anymore.
