A slick, passably enjoyable sequel to the hero-and-his-talking-car TV series, heavily influenced by RoboCop in its plot and incidentals. Its the future and, horror of horrors, American cops have been told not to carry guns, while long-term prisoners serve their sentences out in cryogenic capsules, smoking in public is illegal and President Quayle has just declared war on Great Britain.
David Hasselhoff, still looking like a bewildered clod, is called out of retirement and reunited with his smarty-pants computer, who is currently stuck in the body of his classic 1957 car but has a superstreamlined replacement in development. Partnered by a lady cop with a microchip in her brain and determined to stop the rot that has junked Americas frontier values, Hasselhoff takes to the streets, and the bad guys start flying. With a few plot twists you might not expect and some neat effects wrinkles, this isnt quite the dross the concept promises
