Scene of the Week: Clowning Around

There are certain things that everyone universally just wants to see. For example, a robotic clown beating up a human being. Luckily for you and me the criminally underrated action film F/X2 gives us exactly what we all wanted to watch.

For a little background, in F/X2 Bryan Brown returns as special effects (effects… F… X… F/X… I get it!) guru Rollie Tyler. This time Tyler is asked by his girlfriend’s ex-husband, a police officer, to use his special effects wizardry to help catch a serial-killer. Things go sideways and Tyler must get help from his old pal Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy) to solve the mystery. Tyler is targeted by the people behind the conspiracy because of his involvement and at one point a hitman comes to Tyler’s apartment to get rid of the loose end. However, the hitman thought Tyler was going to be home alone and was not counting on Tyler’s robotic marvel Bluey being there.
