Jeepers Creepers 2
The film has two plots running side by side:
1. A busload of college athletes, cheerleaders and three adults on their way home back from a game and how they struggle to survive under the attack by the creature of the first film who is still roaming around after setting fire to his House of Pain.
2. A bitter middle-aged man who is seeking revenge because the creature took his son as his son was out in a cornfield. The man designed a harpoon and attached it to the back of a small truck from which it can be fired.
The acting was superb. However, the film does provoke some questions.
Questions
Why does the only surviving adult assume that he can remain outside the bus after two of his fellow adults have suddenly disappeared? The normal reaction would be to shut the doors and remain inside with the teens. Are we being expected to believe that he was assuming himself impervious to whatever happened to the other two? Why?
Why does that student, who had recently been terrified, suddenly feel that he can start calmly fooling around with the creature's extended wing? Also, how does his headless body remain standing and swinging its arms frantically for a few seconds after he is decapitated?
Why does the creature stupidly fly straight into the harpoon instead of cunningly looking for a blind spot? That harpoon didn't look as if it could be swiveled. But even if it could, that creature could out-speed human reflexes as shown at the start when it snatches two of the adults right off the road in a split of a second.
Why is the creature struggling with that harpoon stuck to its body? Why can't it just pull it out with its enormous strength? If two shotgun blasts at close range from that old woman in the previous film didn't harm it, how could a mere harpoon?
At the film's end: why does the harpoon guy assume it is dead when it had rolled itself into a ball on purpose? Why not turn the ball into ashes? The statement: "Looks dead to me!" seems ridiculous considering that he is dealing with something that is not natural.
How is a creature, who can crash through steel prison-bars or bend them, struggling against that African American kid? Because it only has one superhuman arm?
How could the sudden stoppage of the van it was chasing inflict all that damage to it while leaving the black athlete unscathed? The black athlete was in the back of that van when it flipped over at maybe 70 mph. But he Lands unscathed while the creature is shown missing a leg and an arm? This is the same creature that crashed through the steel bars of the police station as if they were made of paper?
At films end, how does the Harpoon guy wind up with the entire creature preserved in his barn twenty-three years later? Last it was seen, it had turned into a ball with a harpoon sticking out of it and he had gone home and stupidly left it there even after the girl who had been having visions told him that it wasn't hurt but that it's hunting time had expired.
