For the year 1992, the special effects were outstanding.

    Check out the series The Mind's Eye if you want to see more of that era of computer animation. It's just music with computer animation. It even has some bits that look straight out of The Lawnmower Man.

    King sued (and won) because the movie had so little to do with his story

    I found the sequel on DVD over a decade ago for $5. Still haven't watched it.

    Maybe the longer I wait the better it will get?

    Nope. It was bad. Really, really bad.

    Star Wars Life Day Special bad? Sharknado bad? Velocipastor bad??

    In other words, unwatchably bad such that it pains you to finish, or so bad that it comes all the way back around to entertaining?

    If you're in the US, it's free on Tubi (ublock origin adblocker for Firefox should work): https://tubitv.com/movies/675101/lawnmower-man-2-beyond-cyberspace

    I thought I saw it on dailymotion but can't find it now. I think it's on archive as well.

    haha tbh honest there is no Pierce Brosnan in no 2 so chances are thin.

    this is actually based on a steven king short story/novel.

    and i think steven king got super upset when he saw what happened to his story

    Did you read the story? It has almost nothing to do with the movie except for one small scene where a guy gets killed by a lawnmower.

    The short story is about someone ordering someone to mow his lawn and a dirty fat ugly guy arrives. He goes to the lawn with this monstrosity of a lawnmower. The lawnmower proceeds to move on its own with an awful noise and the fat guy follows it around to eat up the cut grass. When the lawn owner sees this he is horrified and then gets killed by the lawnmower.

    Saw the sequel in the theater. By far the best part is the beginning, where they replay the end of the first movie. ACCESS DENIED ACCESS DENIED

    I re-watched that one recently after remembering it from my childhood. It's decently enjoyable. Still have the sequel lined up for when I'm extraordinarily bored. It will happen eventually.

    Sometimes a sequel isn't needed, even a cliffhanger or ambiguous ending is fine.

    The video game was great too.
