  • It’s because the creator of the series is a nihilist ( I know, such a brave stance) 😂. He threw a hissy fit over the first one having consciousness

    @HEisHIM678

  • “OH JESUS CHRIST LUCIFER IS A FA-“

    @talkingtrout3148

  • The only thing I like about the sequel is the music. Tom Scott and the LA Express. I wish that they had released the soundtrack.

    @TheTrumpReaper

  • You didn't like it because you were trying to intellectualize and politicize it. The series is always laced with political commentary , and irony.

    @Lg32343

  • Second one wasn't done by Bakshi, this ones another studio entirely with different writers.

    @leeeeum

  • I liked the movie

    @jhighmuscle50

  • It basically a higher budget Fritz The Cat and more of himself and that's why it earned a Blu-ray purchase from me.

    @barebarekun161

  • Missed the message

    @cosmiccowboy9358

  • good movie

    @harpajohannsdottir6203gh

  • I didn't like the second one as much as the first.

    @gh0rochi363

  • not great but not terrible. the first flim was all over the place too ( i get it was trying to follow crumbs comics). it's a good homage, leave it be.

    @angus4678

  • The score is honestly pretty good, unfortunately I can’t listen to it since they decided not to release it due to the failure of this film. What a bummer. At least I have Jump Back and In my Next Life.

    @peppermillers8361

  • The original creator of Fritz the Cat was R. Crumb and he has stated very plainly that he hated the first film and considered Ralph Bakshi a "hack" who just steamrolled right over him. I doubt if he liked this one either. R. Crumb is pretty grouchy. He actually killed Fritz off after the first movie was released. An ostrich woman stabs Fritz in the head with an ice pick, I think. That was R. Crumb's big FU to Bakshi.

    @squigglequill

  • No bakshi explains everything.

    @devilslayerthesaintofkille1317

  • lol the stereotypes are not dated, the “crows” really are a violent primitive species that commit most of the crime in this nation

    @Redneckkratos

  • It wasn't great, thats for sure

    @christophermanning111

  • Anytime somebody is a weird ass mf they swear eveerything is satire 😂

    @Slipp0000

  • your video here is crap you are a fake try hard wanna be self aware npc

    @myheadhurt4961

  • 100% accurate review

    @GarthBowman

  • Can someone drop a big list of similar movies for me?

    @Watsonwes

  • i didnt understand shit im so glad someone agrees

    @JerusalemCricket

  • I watched this while high last week (because the first is my absolute favorite stoner movie) and man not all the weed in the world could make this movie enjoyable. It’s just a bunch of weird, unfunny drivel that’s just offensive for the sake of being offensive. “HEHEHE HITLER HEHEHE RAPE SO EDGY”

    Also the New Jersey segment was one of the most racist things I’ve ever seen in my life. Just the way the crow characters are drawn in this sequel alone makes me cringe…

    @blurrykillua5439

  • Talking bad about the plot i agree but the score? The score for this movie is incredible.

    @chuckielover06

  • It's not him fantasizing it gives you an insight into the character of fritz himself. Hence the name the 9 lives, it even shows and tells you he was a fan of pre American depression of the 20s.

    @zanemarshall8910

  • A great example of how the crows were portrayed from the first movie made sense and it was necessary at the time because it was self aware that even by 1970's standards the crows themselves were made to be stereotypical on purpose and were more of a parody of the crows from Dumbo. The first movie was self aware of the racial problems that were going on in the 1960's. Just like Coonskin, a lot of people misunderstood the point of that movie. Coonskin wasn't making fun of Black people, that movie too was also self aware that even the characters were drawn to have these racial depictions on purpose, just to show how wrong it was. The sequel to Fritz the Cat feels more like a parody than anything, and Ralph Bakshi doesn't really talk about the movie that much.

  • Duke was a real one.

    @fireflowerfilms2010

  • i actually liked the second film was well as the first one
