Another WolfCop (2017) **1/2

While I liked it more the second time I saw it, I didn't love Lowell Dean's WolfCop (2014). Its sequel, Another WolfCop (2017), while just as stupid, was slightly more enjoyable (particularly so with a large and appreciative audience; I don't think films like this work as well when viewing at home alone). I liked seeing three of the Astron-6 guys in a clear reference to a similar scene in RoboCop (1987) (review). Kevin Smith (in an uncredited role), while amusing, outstayed his welcome a bit. The Dude Designs’ Cobra (1986) (review) poster homage—a refreshingly minimalist design compared to his usual super busy work—is fun. There's some great effects work, but also some stuff that is pretty meh, and the way it's all shot is uninspired. Admittedly, I laughed a lot at this dumb movie, but, like its predecessor, in a few years (or less) time, I'll probably have forgotten everything about it.
