In 1990, John McClane celebrated Christmas again and Michael Corleone tried to go legit again, all while Kid 'N Play partied, Douglas Quaid tried to find himself and Dick Tracy took on the mob.
7. RoboCop 2
One year later, Officer Alex Murphy is still patrolling Detroit and, as unlikely as it sounds, the city's streets have gotten even meaner thanks to the proliferation of the dangerously addictive drug nuke. When sociopathic kingpin Cain is seriously injured, he's drafted by mega-corporation Omni Consumer Products to replace Murphy by becoming the title character -- the bigger, newer version of their patented police cyborg.
5. Gfather Part III
Every time he thinks he's out they pull him back in. In the conclusion of the trilogy, Don Michael Corleone tries to go legit and clear his conscience. Unfortunately for him, history has a way of repeating itself and sometimes you reap what you sow.
4. Total Recall
Returning to the genre that he does best (sci-fi), the Austrian Oak finds himself embroiled in an interplanetary Chinatown-esque conspiracy.
3. Dick Tracy
This story about the titular police detective, set in 1930s in an unnamed Midwestern metropolis, climaxes when local crime boss Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice is released from jail on New Year's Eve.
After finagling inside info out of one of Caprice's goons, Mumbles, Tracy follows Big Boy to his club, leading to a shootout between the gangster's hired guns and police. Big Boy flees the scene pursued by Tracy and the two find themselves in a standoff with gangland upstart "Breathless" Mahoney.
SPOILER ALERT: Things do not go well for Big Boy and Breathless.
2. House Party
Although Kid 'N Play first rose to fame as rappers, their crowning achievement is this movie. In order to relieve the stress of the daily high school grind (and get some), Peter (Play) decides to throw a party while his parents are out of town. Unfortunately for his best friend Christopher (Kid), his pops has grounded him and the school bullies have placed him at the top of their shit list following a fight in the cafeteria. So Pops, body-building bullies, the school cuties, drunk friends and loads of hormones all converge on Play's house.
1. Die Hard 2
Some say this movie shouldn't even exist. "There's no way in hell that the same dude and his wife could be caught in the middle of a terrorist situation at Christmas -- again!" But you won't care about any of that while you're watching the movie. You'll just enjoy seeing John McClane doing his thing -- again.
It's said that lightning never strikes the same place twice and Die Hard 2
doesn't violate that theory. While John McClane does find himself having to
rescue his wife from the fallout from a terrorist attack, at Christmas,
AGAIN, the attack takes place in Washington, D.C. this time instead of LosAngeles.
The crazy thing is -- this movie is actually based on a book. I sh*t you not. It's called 58 Minutes, you non-believers. My favorite part is probably when McClane makes his way inside the cargo plane.
