Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace Storyline

After the destruction of Virtual Space Industries at the end of the first film, Jobe is discovered in the rubble and is brought to the facilities of Jonathan Walker (Kevin Conway), a powerful corporate tycoon, where his face is reconstructed and he is hooked back online through virtual reality to work for Walker. Several years later, in a dystopian Los Angeles, Peter Parkette (Austin O’Brien), is now a teenager and a computer hacker living in the subways with a group of runaway teenagers after the events of the first film. Jobe finds Peter online and asks him to find Benjamin Trace (Patrick Bergin), the founder of virtual reality. After finding Trace and bringing him to his hideout, Peter discovers Jobe is looking to start a new world order, using Walker’s technology. Now, Trace, Peter, Trace’s former lover Cori (Ely Pouget), and Peter’s friends, are on a race against time to stop Jobe and Walker from enslaving humanity through virtual reality.

Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace Movie Reviews

Is this the end of the world? No, its Lawnmower Man 2!

Oh, God, this film is bad, oh so bad. I think I must have had too many beers in the pub prior to renting this pile of pants!

I do remember looking at the clock on the video and noticed 15 minutes of the film had passed. I don’t remember the first 14 minutes, and by the time we got to 20, I realised I had better things to do, like inspect the innards of the toilet or cleanout the attic with a toothbrush & tweezers.

Its true when they say getting slightly drunk has an inverse affect on a person’s ability to sort the wheat from the chaff. I must have had my drinks severely spiked to end up with something like this. But another good thing about alcohol, it makes you sleepy, and the following morning you tend to forget all those minor indescretions from the night before.

I like the original Lawnmower Man, and even though most sequels generally suck, this just gets blown away. I just don’t have it in me to comment on the acting, directing etc, since they are all tended to blur into each other to form one big blob of Hmmm!

Not a good film, although if you have irritating guests in your home that you simply can’t get rid of, put this on and I guarantee their coats will be on and the car keys ajingling before the opening credits finish!

Bad!

So bad it’s funny

First of all I think Matt Frewer is a good actor. His role in Star Trek Next Generation as a bogus time travelling scientist was excellent and reminded me of James “Jim” Carrey. In this he tries very hard but the script and directing is not there at all. This “sequel” seems to contradict the ending of the first film completely and so I ended up watching it for the hilarious clichéd moments. Here’s a list:

The tag line is laughable “God made him simple, science made him a god, now he wants revenge.” What the hell is that about? He wants revenge? For what? On whom?

“Accessing secret files” What computer would ever say that?

“We have to make Jobe so angry he destroys himself”. That part had me in hysterics. Trace’s ludicrous explanation why that would work.

The fact that Jobe is somehow alive despite in the previous film he was practically incinerated.

That weird bit in the middle where they try to find out who wrote a computer program by looking at a 3D image of a word.

The bit where Jobe start to use bad language was really unexpected and very unnecessary.

The over the top and pointless sword fight at the end. I thought Jobe had to destroy himself? Why the sword fight?

That scary looking blonde woman. What was her role in the film exactly?

The cliché of Trace the old computer master is now living a “simple” life in the desert.

Homeless kids somehow have ganged together, taught themselves computer science to the degree that they know more than the average adult and have expensive equipment that WORKS in an old train.

The Chiron chip. That thing really confused me. What was it and what was that talk of Egypt? How can everyone live in cyberspace? Their bodies would die. The whole idea is ridiculous.

Trace’s weird and annoying shaped mouth.

That fight where Trace picks up a TV and smashes it on someone’s head. It was clearly fake it looked like it weighed as much as a cardboard box.

The whole film made absolutely NO SENSE.

Still it made me laugh.

This film is rather brainless…

In the 1980s and 90s, two huge problems were big in films. The first I would like to call the “Spielberg” cliché. That’s where the world is saved by sensitive and all-knowing children. While governments, scientists and the like do their thing, the REAL geniuses (kids with a home computer in this case) save humanity! Ugghhh!! Second, there is the film makers’ notion that says special effects can take the place of plot. However, rarely have I seen a film with such a bizarre and incomprehensible plot and such wonderful graphics–it’s like a story wasn’t even important to the film. What WAS important was lots and lots and lots of computer tricks and explosions–with graphics that were brilliant for 1996–but did nothing to create a movie worth seeing or understanding. It’s as if they were making a film for people too dumb to want any plot! The plot, such as it is, is about some smart disabled guy who is using his über-brain to tie into all the world computers and mess with people–killing them in various ways that are super-graphics intensive. And, of course, it’s up to a bunch of kids (and a down-and-out Patrick Bergen who must have been desperate for work) to save everyone. Is this really the best they could do?!

Well it’s obvious that I think this is a bad and vacuous film. However, is it bad enough to merit the inclusion on IMDb’s Bottom 100 list? Well, that’s not an easy answer and I should talk about the confusion in putting any film on the list. I guess it all depends on how you personally would interpret a bad film and what should be on the list. For example, the films of Ed Wood and Al Adamson are abysmal low-budget messes and yet they are not on the list. Perhaps this is because in their own weird way, they are so bad that they are funny. Or, perhaps because they are so low-budget they shouldn’t be taken seriously. “Lawnmower Man 2” is clearly nothing like these films–with a relatively large budget (despite some bargain basement actors) and wider release than an Ed Wood film, it clearly is in a different league. And, sadly, while bad, it isn’t what I would consider fun viewing. And, considering the sheer waste of money (i.e., “bang for the buck”) and unwatchability, I would consider putting it on this infamous list. Pretty too look at mindless brain-rotting mush–that’s MY interpretation of what should be on the list–and this clearly is brain-rotting mush!!
