Who Thought This Was A Good Idea?

Warning: Spoilers
Kindergarten Cop 2 is another in the long line of films that serve as sequels to movies released long ago, skip theaters and are direct to video, and basically serve as nothing more than a studio's shameless attempt to make a quick buck off a classic film.

While they do use a new plot and cast, a lot of jokes and scenes are taken from the first film, with some changes. The school is basically liberal and PC, as one scene has Agent Sanders telling Zack about how time outs are so 90's and Indian Style is now Crisscross Applesauce. This sounds like a school I would not send my kids to, if I had kids.

And yes, this film is not for kids. Then again, the first film had its fair share of content inappropriate for younger audiences. One kid talks about his sister, which I will repeat because it is something little kids should not know about, and the freak out scene has one of the kids urinating in a barrel in the classroom, which is something the real FBI would bust someone for watching nowadays. And the climax is morally flawed, as it has Zack use a Twix bar to signal the kids to attack the main villain and his henchman with logs. Yeah, have kids use logs to attack two men who are wielding handguns. Yeah, way to put the kids in a dangerous situation.

Kindergarten Cop 2 is nothing more than a disgrace to the original, and being released 26 years after the original, I believe it should not have been made in the first place. I recommend watching the first movie instead.
