"Of course, the new film is [Sting II] also missing a great deal of the first picture played by the late Robert Shaw. This film has nothing. The Sting II starred Jackie Gleason as one of the good guy Stingers this time. Karl Malden is the bad guy, Sting-E, and Teri Garr as the femme fatale. But instead of a fresh script, we just get recycled one-liners from a Dean Martin roast." **

[JesseL85719]

From Gene Siskel himself:

"In 1973, The Sting proved not only to be an Oscar-winning best picture, but also the wonderful entertainment featuring more double crosses than even a movie critic can anticipate. It also could take one of the most charismatic performances of Paul Newman or Robert Redford had ever given. About 10 years later, they finally gave us Sting II, and you guessed it. No Newman, no Redford."

@Kitsuneranger You are wrong. This was referring to SEQUELS. The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were 1980 and 1983.

[Ramubay]

Just to name a few: Superman II (1980), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Star Trek, The Wrath of Khan (1982), Rocky III (1982), Return of the Jedi (1983), Aliens (1984), Rambo, First Blood Part II (1985), The Color of Money (1986), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989).

[Kitsuneranger]

@CCharmanderK Star Wars came in the 1970s

Your argument is flawed

It was actually illegal in the 1980s in the United States to have a comedy movie without Neo-Nazis or the KKK.
