The Freudian conclusion of the film is pretty fantastic, but this is otherwise superior in every way, to damn with faint praise. It almost makes sense! The heavens weep for the Live and Let Die-esque mountain of coke camp action flick the movie could have been.

This story was good, but needs more shark and less drug runners and voodoo

When I said there wasn't enough of Mrs Brody's in Jaws 2, this isn't what I meant. I mean, yes, it is better than the film but what isn't? Thanks to it being based on an earlier draft of the script with more subplots and character development and Hank Searls writing. He managed to make a terrible film and a completely unnecessary sequel and turn it into something quite compelling. It's not as good as Jaws 2 but that's because this is the 3rd film sequel and 2nd novel sequel to something that was already quite self contained.

Got through this, which is more than can be said for the film (never lasted more than 10 mins of that). I like Searls, he does his best with this. Better than the film deserves.
