With computer effects improving on a daily basis, a more visually dazzling Lawnmower Man sequel was inevitable. Ten minutes into Jobe's War (also known as Beyond Cyberspace) you know the CGI is vastly better, even if composite shots and model work aren't! The focus of the effects is still former simpleton Jobe, who's been rescued from the fireball explosions at the first film's end. In a Los Angeles of 'the future,' he's had both legs amputated, his head is shaved, and he's now played by Matt Frewer. The Virtual Light Institute has Jobe building a chip once designed by disgraced scientist Dr. Trace (Patrick Bergin). Like the original, this sequel is a great snapshot of the special-effects industry of its day. In 1996, the cyber city and bike ride (a homage to Tron) was as good as you got. --Paul Tonks

Sometime after the explosion in the original, Jobe is saved and forced to help Government-type people with Virtual Reality. Peter asks Dr. Benjamin Trace to help him with a Chiron Chip before Jobe uses it for evil. If they had used Jeff Fahey from the original, it might have been better, but if you really want to watch it, you might like THE LAWNMOWER MAN 2!!!
Rating:  - Quite possibly the worst movie ever!!!
This movie is so bad that its a joke. I got it for really cheap, and I liked the first movie, so I gave it a shot. Wow! Is this movie bad. Really, it may be the cheesiest movie of all time. Ghetto special effects, second-rate actors, horrible plot, just an all around cheese-fest. Don't waste your time unless you want to laugh at how bad it is. Get the original, the first movie is a classic. This is just a cheap straight-to-DVD cash-in.

I've read all kinds of reviews here and in the newspapers bashing this movie and even movie theaters only featuring it for two weeks and to that all I can say is"first of all Lawnmower Man 2 is NOT that bad, and second I personally enjoyed it IMMENSELY! I will say that no it's not nearly as good as the first and yes they did make a mistake making this one okay for children to watch whereas the first Lawnmower Man was strictly grown-ups only! That aside I really saw nothing wrong with this movie ... Read More

Dr. Bejamin Trace creates a brilliant device which allows unhindered access to all sources of electronic information: banks, hospitals, etc. When he questions their motives, the corporation that funded his research take him to court and claim the device as their own. Since Trace -- the only man who can make it work -- takes off to who-knows-where, the corporation pulls a crippled Jobe from the wreckage of the first movie and offer him a job.
Several years down the road, Jobe's secret ... Read More
