A petty crook finds himself in the midst of a power struggle between two big-time con artists: his estranged mother and his headstrong girlfriend.

At the end of a seven-year stint in prison, Reggie Hammond gets a visit from his old pal Jack Cates. The crusty cop faces a trumped-up manslaughter charge, and he needs Reggie's help to catch a drug kingpin and clear his name.

Here they go again. Only faster. And tougher. Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy) and Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) return in the smash sequel that's "better than the first!" (Pat Collins, WWOR-TV). How much better? For starters, the mob puts a price on Reggie's head. The bus transporting him from the pen flips over about 17 times. His prized Porsche is blown into scrap metal. Creeps in a bar still haven't learned it's dumb to get Reggie mad. And the night is still young. Before these 48 hours are up, Reggie and Jack will turn San Francisco inside out to nail an elusive druglord. The boys are back in town . . . and the action's on the streets. Don't miss it!
