[Inspector Abberline]

London is in the grip of a series of bank robberies, and their modus Operandi being that they blast the banks with gold plated Purdey shotguns, escape, and always leave a certain amount of money behind on the back seat of there getaway car...So its down to Regan and Carter to catch the blaggers before there next robbery..After the first Sweeney film dealt with political corruption and politicians getting caught doing scandalous things..(in other words shagging prostitutes ) the second film sticks more closely to the TV series in that it deals with the more common bread and butter criminals we were used to seeing in the TV show,.And while the hi-jinx of the Sweeney is always fun to watch,most of the entertainment comes from the antics of its two main leads John Thaw as Detective Inspector Jack Regan and Dennis Waterman as Detective Sergeant George Carter, as they singlehandedly drink copiously and chat up any women they come across that takes there fancy in-between defusing bombs and chasing the crooks.
leading the supporting cast is Denholm Elliott playing a corrupt Chief superintendent and Nigel Hawthorne is Chief Inspector Dilke, and the rest of the flying squad are made up of familiar tv actors of the 1970s and 80s..Sweeney films are fairly successful in recreating the atmosphere and feel of the tv show and transporting it to the big screen, and it is nice now to see them in HD and see London in all its 1970s glory, with all its polyester suits and flares...This was then followed by Argentos Euro cut of Dawn Of the Dead..which is basically zombies in polyester ....Rip Flyboy...what no Gonk...
