Again, we have bad boy enforcement official Zack Reed ( Dolph Lundgren) going undercover as a kindergarten teacher to help prosecute his arch nemesis. There’s no mention of the previous events or characters. Though billed as a sequel, Kindergarten Cop 2 feels more like a remake. It can also, unfortunately, be Kindergarten Cop 2, a broad and ultimately pointless exercise that seems to exist solely to remind audiences of how surprisingly good the original was. Yes, movies of its ilk live and die by the handling of their gimmicks, but Kindergarten Cop, while no Oscar contender, proves that the formula can be massaged into something eminently enjoyable. Credit whoever you like for its success: Reitman deftly balanced the opposing tones, star Arnold Schwarzenegger infused his cyborgian superman with genuine vulnerability, and composer Randy Edelman’s score helped convey a concrete sense of place. A few scenes include casual drinking, and one character's alcohol abuse is addressed.Īnd they also state that both movies are appropriate for ages 13 and older, so.For all of its innate kitsch and gimmickry, Ivan Reitman’s Kindergarten Cop, the story of a gritty cop who goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher, works to this day as both a fish-out-of-water comedy and a pulse-pounding action flick. Expect some comic references to having sex ("booty call," "keep the shark in the tank"), and the camera leers at young women in bikinis poolside. The comedy is kid-friendly, the story is simple (and mostly ludicrous) to a fault, and the villains are farcical and exaggerated, but bodies fall, guns are fired, and fists are landed, so it's an odd blend. As a result, it's not always clear exactly which audiences the filmmakers were targeting. Though the action and violence are mostly slapstick and not meant to be taken seriously, there's enough gunplay, fighting, and suspense, along with some racy language ("s-t," "ass," "bitch," "damn," "my sister has a vagina") to earn the film a PG-13 rating. It's not a "sequel" (it has all new characters and a whole new story) only the concept remains the same: Law officer goes undercover as a teacher in a kindergarten classroom to catch a criminal. Parents need to know that Kindergarten Cop 2 is a very late direct-to-DVD companion piece to Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1990 hit comedy Kindergarten Cop. So it can't get made or it will be rated higher than it was?Īlso Kindergarten Cop I (1990) was PG-13, Kindergarten Cop II (2016) was PG-13, so. I rewatch it all the time as a comfort movie in the background. It’s 90 percent a very light and kind hearted film. This rant really began to say it’s in no way “incredibly” violent and traumatic, unless someone is hyper sensitive to any kind of violence or drama. In the current times, they may not want a gun in a school like that, but I wouldn’t rule it out, there’s still plenty of dark things and or sexual things in PG-13 movies now days. I probably saw it around 9 or 10 and nothing about it was scary or traumatic and I know many in school saw it as well. And a dead body at the coroners office in the middle. Honestly there’s only some minor violence in the beginning and minor violence in the end. It’s pretty standard trailer for a 90s movie, fits the tone for how the movie really is. I remember the marketing for this some what, and commercials when it was in TV all the time. It’s PG-13, so it’s rated appropriately, and the trailers weren’t really marketed for kids. Calling it incredibly violent and traumatic, that is such an over dramatization.
