★★★★★ · Sexy Bobby Jordan again. · anthony1179 · 2018-01-07

I have been in love with Bobby ever since i was a kid. any movie with him in it is worth watching. he truly was such an underrated actor.much better than Leo Gorcy. sad that he died so young. I am proud to own his passport that i bought from his Son Bobby Junior in 2012.

★★★★★ · The 2nd movie for da boys · jimelena · 2006-05-25

This one is not nearly as gritty and tough as the first, and the rest get progressively softer. Still, I like the boys a lot and recommend them all. This is another haunted house, getting old, for the boys. And it ties in with the first movie, which is actually the second since the screen play from the Broadway play was actually the first. Too confusing? Then become a fan like you should be and you'll get it. See? Don't make me have to get tough. See? I'll moyderize ya. See?
