      Audience Member OK so the first film was 'Die Hard' in a school so one must assume this second film, going by the title, is 'Die Hard' in a university?. No your wrong aha! its not that obvious a rip off all over again but done even worse, its actually got nothing to do with any university so the title makes no sense what so ever hehe bet you didn't see that coming eh. So Haim is back, how can the same shit happen to the same guy twice? beats me. If you liked the first then your in for a treat because this sequel is exactly the same as the first accept its set in a power plant and errr that's it. So yes I'm not joking its exactly the same. The plot follows the same route, has the same characters all the way through including another sexy femme fatale that kills faceless security guards and ends as you have previously seen also. So not much to say really, its not as good as the first, the school setting was more fun, the bad guys were more fun in the first and this just seems way too overblown with threats of chemical warfare and blowing up power plants etc...although the first wasn't exactly sensible. Haim's earring is smaller but his quirky cheeky attitude is still likeable which helps the film. Its still cheap and nasty but it does have some charm, just not as much as the original film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Corey Haim is back in Demolition University every one has to graduate eventually. The plot revolves around a busload of physics majors (!) visiting a local nuclear power plant for a field trip. Unbeknownst to them (but unbeknownst to us), the plant has been taken over by terrorists who have big evil plans to poison the city's water supply, or something like that. It was never entirely clear exactly what they were trying to accomplish. Most of the terrorists are middle-eastern, with generic names like "Abdul" and "Hadad," but they are led by an American of the block-of-wood school of acting who has turned against his own government because... well, I don't want to ruin the most unintentionally comedic scene in the film, so I won't reveal his reasons. Suffice it to say it's up to Corey and his classmates to save the world, and you'll have a hard time deciding who is more incompetent--the physics students, the terrorists, or the police and FBI agents who are brought in to handle the "situation." Here is a typical exchange, by two students who have evaded the terrorists (unintentionally, of course--no one seems to do anything on purpose here) and are wandering the basement of the power plant: 7.30 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member this is the second one.first one is demolition high.both pretty good Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad movie...even by Corey Haim direct-to-video standards. Not even Feldman could have saved this one. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible, terrible, terrible film......but you gotta love it for Corey Haim looking almost all grown-up.....and slightly weird! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Corey blimey! Not a lot of demolition, 5 minutes of university but lots of Corey Haim. The cover art says it all. Is that not a face to punch? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
