Do they address Maury Ballstein?


It doesn't seem like he's in here at all, do they explain what happened to him? If so, please let me know!

I see you're drinking 1%. Is that cause you think you're fat?

Apparently he went to jail at the end of the first one and is never heard from again

He turned state's evidence against Mugatu and went in to witness protection.

They address everyone from the first movie at the start of this. They have one scene with Maury talking to someone about giving evidence and wanting protection and that's it.

reply

After the pixeled his face and mentioned witness relocation, I figured he'd pop up again the movie...guess not.

reply

Perhaps Jerry Stiller decided he didn't want to reprise his role in this movie. He is credited for the movie, but probably only because they show his picture when they explain about Maury's involvement & witness protection.

reply

It's clearly a scene shot for Z2 since he looks a lot older than the first movie.
