... I've changed my mind after repeat viewings. The second one feels so much longer in retrospect-- the dialogue is TOO self-reflexive, and the tempo really drags, as if he really seems to be enjoying it more than we are. Aside from a couple of great sequences (the escape from the coffin, the fight in the trailer), the second one is not that good. The first one has that gruesome beginning in the hospital which is really unpleasant, but once the action picks up, I'll watch it whenever it's on. It's fun.
