I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Blistering performances.

Video Violence 2 takes a turn away from it's predecessor in that it is far more tongue-in-cheek and silly than the first, which was a lot more serious in tone. A lot of the gags are cheap, and are laughable, as is the acting and plot, but it seems like that was all intentional.the movie begins on set of a horror movie, a campy one about a vampire. When the actress refuses to eat the fake heart, the crew show her how it is done, by removing hers! It then cuts to a news broadcast about a pirate TV show that features killings, before promptly being cut by the pirate TV show - The Howard and Eli show. The two guests start by telling some corny jokes, before showing an ad for a little Christmas toy that kills the child. Howard and Eli then bring out an actress, telling her she's doing an audition for a splatter movie. They tie her up and then begin torturing her. Every so often the show cuts to fan made videos that are sent in, like an ex-cop that electrocutes a criminal's head and pops his eyes out, or man hating women that kill a pizza boy. The show ends and it is revealed that the actress was never actually harmed and it was just a gag. The crew receive a tape, from Steve and Rachael, the victims of the first one. They break in with a shotgun and a chainsaw... And then remove masks to reveal that they aren't those two.I love this movie, is so campy and hilarious, it's the type of movie you can watch with a beer or some pizza. It's not meant to be taken seriously, and if you turn off your brain and just go in expecting a great time, you'll have a blast.

The main murdering duo of the first film, Howard and Eli, now seem to have a pirate public access show filmed from a hidden location which is just the device they need to showcase bloody kills, without having to deal with the pesky little thing called plot (yea the first one's was stenuas at best, but it DID have one). Still that's not really a detriment of a movie like this & with a running time shorter then the first by almost half an hour (more if you subtract the time this one spends on clips from the first), it's not hard to sit through. And this film is a mild improvement to the first in regards to the acting as well as the special effects. However it just doesn't all jibe as well as the original. A movie full of black humor that I enjoyed a lot more. This one is still worth a view though, i guess. My Grade: D+DVD Extras: Audio commentary by Director/ writer Gary Cohen, Special effects men Mark Dolsom & Mark Kwiatek, and actors Art Neill, Paul Kay, David Christopher, & Uke; 15 minute interview with Cohen; and Trailers for Video Violence 1, Video Violence 2, Cannibal Campout, Woodchipper Massacre, & Ghoul School (the DVD also comes with the first video Volence film on the same disc)

Man the plot and acting for this movie absolutely suck. However, I can say that the acting is so bad its funny, in a campy sort of way. However, the saving point of this film is the kills, which are actually somewhat creative and extremely gory (as well as fairly realistic). Not bad work for a film with what looks like a $2,000 budget.

This video, shot on camcorder is a lot of good campy fun. It's not for the weak of heart or the easily offended but is a fun bad movie.It features a couple guys who host a late night pirated tv show featuring snuff videos their fans send in (they even have an in-studio band). Kind of America's Funniest Home Videos on crack.I loved it, my wife was offended, so I guess it's one of those videos you either love or hate...if you're looking for something different and totally sick, check this out...if you want acting, production values and plot, go rent "Titanic" for the 100th time...
