Exterminator 2 Random Discussion

From what I've researched both Exterminator films seem to be pretty popular in Europe, at least when they both came out, and both seemed to have had more recognition overseas than in the U.S.

The Australian VHS version of EXTERMINATOR 2 is censored. I would like to see the uncut version but I don't think I'll ever get the opportunity.

What are the edits to the Australian release of EX2? And you could see the uncensored version by importing the Region 1 VHS tape and watching it on a code-free VCR.

You're probably asking yourself, how do I know it's censorered if I havn't seen the uncut version. Well, if you saw the Australian version you would know what I mean. Everytime good ol' Rob Ginty torches a punk the film quickly cuts away, very sloppily I might add. The only time you see a punk on fire is the ending where "X" gets blown up when he opens the bag rigged with explosives. I've heard that the punk in the tree turns into a fireball but not on the Aussie version. I've also heard that the armourguard bloke gets put on the railway tracks but we don't see that either. The punks in the alleyway who knife someone get torched I know that, but we don't get to see jacksh*t. Perhaps you could send me the uncut version, that'll be so cool?

From the sound of it the version you've seen is cut from the U.S. release. When the thugs at the beginning are torched you see them running away ablaze and later see their charred corpses, and in another scene a thug in a tree gets burned and you see his corpse ablaze and the scene ends with the camera lingering on his burning body.

I'm sorry to hear the copy of EX2 you have is censored, I'd like to send you an uncut copy but I can't do it at the moment. However you can try ordering EX2 from sites like http://www.amazon.c om and http://www.ebay.com, they tend to have many VHS copies and for dirt cheap too, and you have a code-free VCR you could view the U.S. VHS.

Good luck

I just had a full uncut version of EX2 on ebay. It didn't sell though, but i'll relist it again.
From what i hear there are a few scenes incomplete in various countrys in the world.
The hold up at the beginning with the old couple. The police helicopter scene is cut. Well, basicly the whole armed car robbery besides the dude up in the tree is cut. The scene with Caroline in the park and a few shots from the finale.
The one i have is the dutch rental and that's the one you wanna see.

If anyone's looking for a Pal tape with both 1 & 2 totaly uncut, we sure could work something out.

I'll buy them, so let's work something out.

roh3220, wow

i just checked my ausrtalian exterminator 2 ex rental and you're right - it's insanely edited.

the film however is amazing. it has such a visceral 80's b-movie vibe to it. i love it. david spear rules. he did the film score for no retreat no surrender 2 - my ALL TIME favorite score.

now i'm also going to have to try and track down an un-edited copy.

"how about... a royal flush!" *loren avedon kicks a cauldron of boiling water into the bad guys*

Haha, same here, penned also a thrid one somewhere in the 80's!
Still have the posters hanging on my walls.

Haha, cool! :oD - I wish I had the poster too, they both look pretty cool, although the poster from EX2 was more artsy-fartsy, just imagine, somebody took the time off to make a cool painting of the exterminator with X popping up in the background too!

Favorite Scenes:
The beginning sequence, where some punks kill an old couple in a conveniance store, and seconds later they get torched by the exterminator waiting in the alley behind the store (of course he's too late to actually save anybody, but vengeance is always his).

And the scene where Eastland and Bee Gee puts the punk in their garbage-truck and drives around with him while getting shot at.
The dumb punk goes back to X of course, only to get severely punished for revealing their hideout.

I also liked the scene where Arye Gross (Turbo) and the black punk gets torched after they've stabbed down a woman in an alley.

But hey, the entire movie is great!! The dance scene in the park was also fun, especially when the horseback riding cop shows up and runs alongside Eastland.

The ending was great, with X running around screaming "You wanna clean up the streets? I *AM* the streets!"

I'd love to see a restored version of this movie, in widescreen and decent sound!
Anybody know if the soundtrack is available anywhere? Great music too.

***I also liked the scene where Arye Gross (Turbo) and the black punk gets torched after they've stabbed down a woman in an alley***.

Haha, yeah, the phoney cartier!

The soundtrack was never released, I just recorded the music from the endtitles. It's a great score!

Man, they release just about every movie ever made on dvd...this one and the first one realy need a special edition, there's a lot that needs to be explained!!

Oh, *that's* what he said! I couldn't understand it, not being an expert in wristwatch-brands, so I just added the quote as "a phony cacia", better correct it when IMDb accepts it.

Do you have the songs on mp3? I'd love to have them myself, if possible.
Too bad the soundtrack was never released, it rocked!

Yeah, we can only wish that they would release them as a double-pack filled with bonus, but that's probably not gonna happen (for the next ten years at least).

Turbo: I like it when their faces go crazy like that, when they think the world has gone psycho and there's no way out.
