Anecdotes
The film's failure to live up to the high standards of Once Were Warriors is partly attributed to the fact that PolyGram Filmed Entertainment was involved. This meant that the raw emotion of the main characters and the powerful Maori cultural themes were replaced with a more generic theme of gangland warfare.

Didn't anybody notice...

...That Ape is Dooley from the first film? And one of his gang members in the fight scene at the end of the movie is the guy that Jake decked in the bar for putting on the juke box from the first movie?! Surprised nobody has picked up on this!

The movie is great, not so much the harrowing insight into domestic abuse and child neglect, alcoholism and its results. More a tale of redemption, sorrow and revenge. I'd recommend everybody who liked Once Were Warriors see this, as it's a very fitting follow up.

Jake the Muss brings the goodness again, a few exciting fight scenes, a bit of domestic abuse and a whole bucket load of redemption and realisation at the hands of some unlikely people who help him see the errors of his ways.

7 out of 10.
