Scanner Cop II: The Showdown - 1995

 At movie 1001 this may legitimately be the first time that this has happened. A movie where the subtitle is different on the film than what is online. Scanner cop two has the subtitle The Showdown online and then when you watch it, its subtitle is Volkin’s Revenge. 

Sam the scanner cop is back, in the track of another evil scanner who is out there. There’s an absolutely top notch body melting sequence with the villain, and a girl in a hospital who has clues in her brain. 

In a way that’s about all there is, because there’s not really a different villain or a turn of any sort later. There’s a few good kills and it’s good guys versus bad in this retread of the last movie. 

The novelty has worn off a little bit and even though this isn’t like bad it just feels decidedly middling. 2.5
