Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Brion James, around 50 minutes were cut from the final work-print until the released version. James said in an interview, "[ Total Recall (1990)] came out a week before [this film] that summer, it made $25 million, became the #1 movie in the country, and the studio panicked because they had invested a lot in the '48 Hours' films, but they felt that at well over two hours, that the movie might be too much. My stuff was in there until one week before the film opened; that is when they cut 25 minutes out of that movie, a week before it opened. It went from around 140 to down around 95 minutes. They said, 'Cut all the behavior, action, comedy . . . '. I lost every major scene I had. That's the last time I ever cared about a movie because I went to the press screening and it was like getting kicked in the stomach, seeing what is not there. I was the third lead and now I looked like a dress extra. All the stuff that they had in the set-up, stuff in the trailer, all those scenes, were gone."
- GoofsReggie tells Jack that the Iceman wants him dead because Reggie can identify him, yet he is never asked for a description.
- Quotes
Jack: I don't want to get in a bar fight. People are always getting in bar fights. It's such a damn cliche. You hear about it all the time and you see it in the motion pictures, people are getting hit in the head with beer bottles, and furniture, and...
[breaks a bottle over a man's head]
- Alternate versionsOriginal workprint of Another 48 Hrs. was 145 minutes long. Movie was cut down to 120 minutes by director Walter Hill or Paramount studio for original planned theatrical summer release, but week before it was to be released Paramount cut additional 25 minutes out of the movie making the final theatrical version only about 93 minutes long. In total, about 50 minutes were deleted from original cut of the movie causing many plot holes and continuity mistakes.

Following the theory that success is not to be tampered with, director Walter Hill has paired up convict Eddie Murphy with cop Nick Nolte and poured them in to story little change from the original.
Just like the first movie, Murphy is released from prison and must unwillingly help Nolte solve a crime in 48 Hrs. They happy ending of the first movie is long since gone, and the two don't like each other again. Presumably, so we can have the same bickering banter all movie before the out their differences aside and take down the bad guys as in the first movie. The score is reused from the first movie as is the song 'The Boys Are Back In Town'. As well as all that all the best scenes from the first movie are duplicated here.
To be fair the story has been updated a little bit, Nolte is no longer permanently hungover, his wife has left him and Murphy is out of prison permanently.
Crude, mindless, foul mouthed and violent. This film plods along grabbing every easy laugh along the way.
Not as good as the first one, but a more than watchable movie, staring Eddie Murphy wearing his "I'm only in this for the money" trademark grin.
