In fact the variety of skinny women, fat stupid men, rebellious pacifists and short latinos makes you think more of Police Academy than an Aliens-style marine force. As part-time soldiers they seem to have neither the temperament nor the skills to be in the armed forces. Mistakes are made early, the main one being that our bunch of heroes/victims are a team of National Guards (known as the Territorial Army here in the UK). not original, I mean the original remake from a year before. It was never going to be as good as the original clearly. Actually, not that’s not right… it IS half bad, but on the flip side its half good as well. However, I’m here to tell you know that as sequels go II isn’t half bad. So I’m as much to blame for the death of the Hills franchise as the next man. The Hills Have Eyes II (as it was now known because Roman numerals means its a classy affair) was widely panned and no bugger went to see it, including me. History shows those of us that care (like me and maybe three other people) than Fox blew it. Also, as the original The Hills Have Eyes sequel was such an unmitigated disaster, the bar was set incredibly low as to how good a sequel had to be in order to be considered a win. To continue, Fox studios only had to make half decent sequels and they could build on the Hills popularity, maybe even have a long running series to equal the Saw franchise. With the success of the remake of The Hills Have Eyes a franchise was reborn.
