The survivors of the wax museum are followed by a dismembered hand, which kills the girl's father.
She must stand trial, so her and her boyfriend go to Sir Wilfred's house for clues, and they find a film he has prepared for them, pointing the way to his secret stash.
They find a dimension hopping, time machine compass and go back in time to look for evidence that the girl is telling the truth and get embroiled in different conflicts along the way....
The first movie didn't really get going until the inspired last ten minutes (where Whedon stole the idea for his finale in Cabin In The Woods), and this remedies the fact by making it really bonkers and amusing from the upstart.
it's like an adult version of Stay Tuned, and each little episode really makes the film a little more exciting than it should be.
The sections with Bruce Campbell and Martin Kemp are easily the best, it's just a shame that the finale with Godunov is pretty bland apart from him and the guy from Power Station who likes white make up.
if they swapped this and had the Frankenstein scene as the finale, this could have been a a classic movie, but the last twenty minutes just seems like a vanity project for the director who plays the predominant Kings Guard and is in almost every other shot come the end.
Thankfully though, the film has enough great cameos and funny moments, to justify the maundering nature of the medieval scene.
a great campy cult classic, with a saggy vanity project finale.
