The action, the pacing, the insanity. I fuckin love both movies, especially when I'm high as fuck. what makes them badass is that they know how to be consistent all the way through. they're both great but my favorite still has to be the first one, even though the second is just over-the-top as fuck. anyone who hasn't seen them and loves over-the-top action shit, you need to see this. if you're one of those people who hasn't even heard of it, then go out and rent it. don't even watch a trailer. just rent it. I'll reimburse you if you don't like it. ok, no I won't.
LOVED the first one. Second one... The big-head scene was where it started going way too far over the top for me. I didn't hate it, but the first one was far, far better.
I agree somewhat because I did love both. the first one's like pcp, and the second one's like acid. fo sho.
