The movie was not a continuation of the original. They had their own way of explaining the cause of the gamma ray exposure, or I should say of not explaining it. The movie was fine in it's own right except the editing. Either someone spliced our film or someone at the studio made a huge mistake. About half way through some one took out about 20 min's of the film and spliced it back in near the end in the middle of the fight scene. Very annoying to say the least, kind of ruined the movie for me. Not sure if it is nationwide but if it is someone's getting FIRED!!!!!!!
