- Quotes
Frank Redbear: Koyaanisqatsi. It means life out of balance. My ancestors would have told you that man should be at one with the earth, the skies, and water. But the white man has never understood this. He only knows how to take. And after a while, there's nothing left to take. So, everything's out of balance. And we all fall down.
John Garrett: Wait a minute... so that's what happened here in Gatlin?
Frank Redbear: No... what happened in Gatlin was, those kids went ape-shit and killed everyone.
- Alternate versionsThe American version has additional effects and different music than the European and Canadian releases. Laserdisc version is the American release.
- ConnectionsEdited into Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995)
Writer A. L. Katz delivered a fair enough script for the movie, which had elements from the first movie to it so it helped transition the viewers into this sequel. I actually found the storyline in the sequel to be just as enjoyable as the storyline in the first movie.
The storyline in "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" was enjoyable for what it was. Sure, this is not anything groundbreaking or particularly sensational. But the story did its job; it entertained. So director David Price managed to bring the script to life on the screen in a good way.
"Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" has some good acting performances to help bring the movie to life. There isn't a lot of famous actors or actresses on the cast list however, but that hardly mattered, because the performers in the movie had talents. I actually think I was only familiar with Terence Knox in this movie.
Visually then you're not exactly in for anything grand, because "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" wasn't using a lot of special effects.
If you enjoyed the 1984 "Children of the Corn" movie, then you will also enjoy the 1992 sequel "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice".
My rating of "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" lands on a five out of ten stars.
