Reviews
James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that he did not like the first film, but that it was better than the "hopelessly foolish" sequel. The film contains "idiotic" jokes and unsuccessful gags. Berardinelli scoffed that the phrase "answering the call of nature" generally meant toilet activities - which was the "appropriate" place to dispose of this film.
“Rough joke with a crocodile rodeo and ape lice, even crazier than Part 1 (1994). Conclusion: tasteless, silly, but hilariously. "
“The film lives exclusively from the aggressive, disrespectful comedy of its main actor and can therefore be entertaining. In the end, the entertainment value flattens in favor of the logically brought to an end crime story. "

Comparison of the German version and the original version
In the German version, the scene in which Ace pushes the baby out of a pregnant woman's belly was missing. It flies (still hanging on the umbilical cord) into the arms of a "native". In the German version you only saw the "native" laughing. This scene did not exist in any German version (cinema, TV, VHS or DVD) until 2013. In that year, the film was released on Blu-ray in its entirety.
On February 24, 2011, the unabridged version was shown in German on Sky Comedy.
