All you have to do is watch the first 3 mins of each movie and you get everything you need to know about comparing these two flicks, in my opinion. The first is polished and well crafted, the second isnt. Plesance is on total auto pilot delivering those lines and its about as camp and cheesy as you can get. Watch for the pause right before he goes running off, too funny. The first has quality tracking shots, the second has Donald Plesance hamming it up. That said, I totally love the 2nd installment. Pacing is great and its got enough in there to remind you its just a bit of fun, the first takes itself much more seriously, but backs it up too.
