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:

school in the fall."
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."
Ty Webb: "You wanna buy Bushwood from me?"
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."
