He moved to an island to escape killer snowman trauma and now that Jack is back he teams with Sam to stop him. When remains start showing up the Colonel denies anything is wrong but his eye-patch wearing head of security (David Allen Brooks, SCREAM FOR HELP, MANHUNTER) reveals himself as a plastic-surgeried Agent Manners from part 1. He also gets breathlessly excited to turn into an ice cube that a bikini model uses to perk up her nipples during a photo shoot – then she swallows him in an iced coffee and her head explodes (?). One of them Jack kills gorily by turning into an ice anvil and dropping on her head. He seems like he watched ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES and thought Peter MacNicol was playing it too subtle.Īnd there are a bunch of sex/murder object women around. There’s a bartender named Bobby (Tai Bennett, JOHN DIES AT THE END) who has maybe a Jamaican accent and wears a t-shirt with a design that looks vaguely Caribbean but says “Australia.” There’s also a dude named “Captain Fun” (Sean Patrick Murphy, “Shuttle Co-Pilot,” AVATAR) who gets in Sam’s face about being too grumpy and tries to pressure him to do activities. It’s run by wacky Colonel Hickering (Ray Cooney), who wears a safari hat and talks nostalgically about his British colonialist days. They go to a resort that is mainly just a small Tiki-ish bar and a path through some woods. I take it as a reference to JAWS: THE REVENGE that he has a psychic link with Sam and follows him to the (unspecified?) island.

Still voiced by Scott MacDonald (FIRE IN THE SKY), the mischievous poor-man’s-Chucky spends most of the movie as a liquid or off-camera presence, making it easy for him to travel across the ocean. You know – the same as if a dead Jason gets hit by lightning, obviously a liquid Jack Frost mixing with coffee means he would come back to life. Little do they know that the FBI has dug up Jack’s antifreezed remains for testing and accidentally resurrected him when a janitor (Brett Boydstun, returning as “Idiot”) spilled coffee into the tank. He’s paranoid that Jack will return for Christmas, so Anne drags him on a tropical vacation with Marla and her husband Joe (Chip Heller, DEAD HEAT) to get his mind off things.

I like that Sam wears his full uniform to his appointment, for some reason. When he recounts the story to his psychiatrist (Ian Abercrombie, FIREWALKER, ARMY OF DARKNESS, THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK, WILD WILD WEST, GARFIELD A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES), the rest of the staff listen in on a speaker phone and giggle (in my opinion unethical). Of course, most people don’t believe it even happened.

Sam Tiler (Christopher Allport, SAVAGE WEEKEND), the sheriff of the small town of Snowmonton, is still traumatized by that time he had to stop a serial killer whose consciousness had been transferred into a snowman. I guess I was always so captivated by the little guy that I never noticed Jack’s sunglasses and lei. But part 2 does have some moments, mostly later on. At the very beginning of the commentary he says that some people didn’t understand the first one was supposed to be funny so he “wanted to make sure that everybody knew that it was all right to laugh at the movie.” The characters shouldn’t.īut I think Cooney really hated the idea of dumbasses thinking he wasn’t in on the joke. But I’m unhappy when, a beat later, her friend Marla (Marsha Clark, “Judge Karen Fitzpatrick,” Days of Our Lives) laughs hysterically at the idea.

So, for example, I’m happy when the hero’s wife Anne (Eileen Seeley, Martha Wayne in BATMAN FOREVER) does a big monologue theorizing that genetic bonding has given the killer snowman her husband’s banana allergy. In this one, unfortunately, he keeps going for straight up jokes, setup and punchline and everything. The real problem in my opinion is that Cooney abandoned the #1 thing the first film had going for it: that it acted like it was serious. Not that we watch a JACK FROST picture for the cinematography. This one does not have a fancy Vinegar Syndrome special edition, because it was shot in shiny ugly digital video, so what would be the point? There are a couple obvious stock footage shots and I thought “Oh, that’s what a real movie looks like.” On his commentary track (respect for including that), Cooney says he hopes people don’t notice that the stock footage looks different. Writer/director Michael Cooney returned in the year 2000 (three years after the original) with another scrappy low budget bag of silliness. This year, I wouldn’t say I was in tears, but JACK FROST 2: REVENGE OF THE MUTANT KILLER SNOWMAN wasn’t as special. Last Christmas I gave you my heart, by which I mean I finally watched JACK FROST and wrote about it.
