Continuing his first film's hot streaks, the 'Merc with a Mouth' returns more vulgar and violent than ever…but wow! It ain't without heart.

Back then, it was modest. Now, it's a tad questionable. But after Aladdin, Robin Williams' role here made him an icon all over again. How?

It stylishly confronted in 19 episodes what most afterschool specials did at the time. But its lifeblood isn’t limited to just Claire Danes.

Tepid box office reports and LGBTQ-wary controversy hounded this film. What I saw in its characters and world-building may argue otherwise.
