i was able to see these this weekend and enjoyed them. III is definitely a step down, partly because they dialed up the sex and gore for the era, which this franchise didn't need and famously didn't start with (referring to the illusions of the shower scene in the original), but it certainly had its moments. II was an interesting continuation of and comment on the original story. i also recognized lines throughout both sequels courtesy of prank calls from the holyoutlaws i used to love listening to, bringing out of place humor to certain scenes. still lookin' to see IV.
