Sleevenotes:

Gopher a wisecrack attack as the 'Shack' is back! Crazy golfer Chevy Chase returns for more links hi-jinks at the crass conscious Bushwood Country Club where the snooty members handicap him to a tee. But it's all par for the course in a wacky comedy scoring a hole in one for fun.

Review:
Chevy Chase is the only returning cast member from the first movie in this much derided sequel. To be honest, Chevy doesn't play much more than a cameo in either movie which is a crying shame given that he's easily the funniest thing in both films. Therefore, slating this film by comparing it to the first is a little unfair as they're very different movies using different actors and working with very different budgets. The first film's appeal was down mainly to the raw nature of it while this sequel is on another level and though it's nowhere near a classic is a moderately enjoyable comedy in it's own right. Other than Chevy there are no standout performances with Jackie Mason unable to match his superb stand-up comedy routines in front of the camera and Robert Stack just earning a wage but Dan Aykroyd and Randy Quaid both make quite funny cameo appearances and of course the gopher returns.

Funniest scenes:
Jack tracks down Ty Webb in the Golf club bar - an opportunity for Chevy to do what he likes. Hysterical.

Jack's customised putter triggers a nearby pacemaker.

Randy Quaid explains the law to Chandler Young's son.

Ty shows Jack how to play indoor golf - "I topped it, I topped it, got a good bounce. It's in."

Ty explains how to treat women to Jack.

Ty teaches Jack golf - "What you wanna do is clear your mind, take a deep breath, close your eyes and be the ball."

Mr. Sanderson (Dan Aykroyd) shoots himself in the rear with a poisened arrow while chasing the gopher.

Chandler Young tries putting with a wedgie.

Top lines:

Jack: "I was born with a wooden spoon in my mouth."
Ty Webb: "Hmmm. Must have been hard on your mother."

Jack: "Take a look at this place. This is what the World would have looked like if the Germans had won."
Ty Webb: "Well, lucky for us the Japanese won."

Peter Blunt: "Well, you certainly made it very clear how your legal system works Mr. Young. Now I'd like to explain to you a little bit about the Peter Blunt system. You see, um, I don't go in for lawsuits or motions or any of that legal stuff. No, no, you see what happens is I find out where you live and then I come to your house, see, and I beat down your door with a fucking baseball bat..."

Chandler: "Hold on tight with your knees, let the animal do all the work."
Jack: "Sounds like my wedding night."

Jack: "That's right, that's right!"
Ty Webb: "Well, let me ask you this. Do I own it?"

Ty Webb: "Well, we're finally alone. Have you ever seen a crisp, fifty dollar bill?"

Ty Webb: "Todd, go out and get a nice tie. You look like a Pee Wee Herman doll."

Jack: "Why don't you be the ball? If I wanted to be a piece of sports equipment I'd be a ladies bicycle seat."
