When this year's round of unsuspecting Northerners fail to show up for their annual Guts N' Glory Jamboree, the residents of Pleasant Valley take their cannibalistic carnival on the road and head to Iowa where they encounter spoiled heiresses Rome & Tina Sheraton and the cast and crew of their "Road Rascals" reality show. Performing "The Bloodiest Show on Earth", our Southern Maniacs prove more than ratings killers in what John Landis has called "one of the rare sequels that surpasses the original".

Wonderful character development!
So much average
Excellent adaptation.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Look, I LOVE bad horror movies, but this was just bad in the regular connotation. This looked interesting (ie Bill Moseley, Ogre) but it was a pile of crap. The gore was uninteresting, the plotline wasn't even funny enough to be funny. I wish I got my time back from watching this, seriously.
the worst sequel ever - very forgettable - nothing more to say - not a patch on the 1st movie - wooden acting - and a very thin plot line , please don't waste time and money on this movie , I found no evidence of humour , or any real gore , even the plot line was wafer thin , it didn't help that the main character was played by a different actor , I found nothing redeeming in this movie what so ever
I bought this movie because of two things; the first reason being that the original "2001 Maniacs" was actually quite good, and the second reason being that this sequel had Bill Mosely in it.Then I sat down and watched this movie, and wow, what went wrong here. This sequel should never have seen the light of day. It was terrible, and it was an insult to part 1. The story was weak from the very beginning. The southerners taking their killing acts on a road trip? Come on! It was so lame.This movie was lacking interesting death scenes that you had in the first movie. The killing scenes in this movie was nothing short of ridiculous. It was lacking gore, lacking cruelty, lacking inventive thinking.Wouldn't you think some good acting would bring the movie up a notch? Yes, you would, wouldn't you? Well, just a shame that this movie didn't have any good acting in it! Oh my God, it was an eyesore to watch and practically physically straining to listen to. It was like watching wooden puppets that had really bad ventriloquists doing the dialogue. I have seen some of the people in this movie in other movies and their performances in those movies far outshone the stuff they did here. It was like everybody was in this movie with only half a heart.There was a scene where the northerners saw their friends murdered and mutilated. No shocking responses, no screams, no nothing. It was so lame. And when they were given a chance to leave, they could just run out of the maniac's small tent fair and run away, but no... Of course they didn't! The movie was just one lousy error after another.Not even Bill Mosely did anything to improve the overall impression of this movie. His performance in "2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams" was nothing to remember or be impressed by.Having sat through this horrible sequel I feel very cheated, especially because I paid money for it! And get this; on the DVD cover of the Extreme Edition DVD version it says, and I quote, "one of the rare sequels that surpasses the original. - John Landis". What the...? Did John Landis even watch part 1 to have something to compare this joke of a movie with?If you like horror movies and if you liked the original "2001 Maniacs" movie, do yourself a favor, and stay well clear of this movie. It is not worth the time or effort, and it brings shame to the original movie. Don't let it taint your impression of the original movie.This was only 'horror' in the sense of how bad the movie was!
OK, I'm a Christa Campbell fan, and have almost everything she has appeared in. I will watch paint dry if Christa is standing in front of it. So, I expected to see her, and I expected the same fun I had with the first film.I was sorely disappointed that the film didn't have that magic of the first film. It was a collection of racial and sex jokes with occasional displays of feminine pulchritude.Some of that display came from the fake Paris & Nicole filming a reality trip to the South. You know you can't wait to see them get it.But, it was really just a version of Hee Haw the way we would have liked to see it. Maybe without the gore.Still, it had Christa Campbell, and she managed to keep me interested until the end.
