Howard (Bart Sumner) and Eli (Uke) - who were only supporting characters in the first Video Violence, playing the town's most prolific (but by no means only) snuff producers - have their own pirate television show now, a show that pretty much follows the pattern of your typical latenight talkshow - heck,they even have their own inhouse musician (Gordon Ovsiew) who pretends to laugh about all of their jokes. The difference of Howard and Eli's show is that they show and then rate snuff clips sent in by the audience.

They also have a guest on their show, Debbie (Elizabeth Lee Miller), a wannabe actress who wants to make it big in horror. And making it big in horror she does, as during their show, Howard and Eli by and by torture and mutilate her, until she dies live on television ...

The show's over. It turns out Debbie isn't dead or even hurt after all, it was all just special effects. But when she won't stop bitching, Eli just cuts her throat in cold blood to kill her for real. None of the crew complains.

Then, in a scene reminiscent of the first Video Violence, a videotape is dropped on Howard and Eli's doorstep, a video that shows Steve (Art Neill) and Rachel (Jackie Neill), the leads from the first film who were prominently killed in the end, back alive and threatening to pay a visit to Howard and Eli - which they then do, armed with guns and chainsaws.

Inexplicable, since they were dismembered at the end of the earlier film?

Not quite, but you see, Steve and Rachel are not really Steve and Rachel but a local couple out to play a prank on Howard and Eli ...

There is one thing you certainly cannot accuse Video Violence 2 of: That it's just more of the same: While the first Video Violence was a gory conspiracy thriller fueled by black humour, this is an all-out comedy, even though its macabre humour might not be to everybody's taste. Plus, the whole thing (intentionally) resembles more a variety show than an actual narrative feature - the narration (and contunuation of the original Video Violence) is actually only picked up in the finale, to deliver a punchline that's not quite as funny as some of the episodes shown earlier in the film. However, the episodic structure of the movie is also its main problem: Hilarious at first, the humour gets a bit repetitive as the whole thing progresses.

Still, the film is quite a hoot to watch and should make an almost-perfect party movie.
