DEMOLITION UNIVERSITY is a disappointing follow-up to Jim Wynorski's DEMOLITION HIGH, a fun and cheesy DIE HARD clone with a school setting. It's hard for me to type this, but I actually wished Wynorski was directing this one as well. The plot merely copies the first film's, with another terrorist gang going up against Corey Haim's unlikely student hero, but the title is a cheat because the action is set in a water plant rather than a university.
The script is poor and the events of the story seem dragged out. Once again there's a female henchwoman who ends up more of a threat than the main villain, but the kills are strictly predictable here and lack the imagination of the first movie. Haim is on autopilot and of the supporting cast only Robert Forster stands out. You'll want to stick with the fun, funny first movie and forget this one exists.
