An interesting sequel

I actually already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I had this movie on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again. From the very beginning,'Chinatown' was in fact supposed to be a trilogy but since the production on this sequel was rather difficult and since it turned out to be pretty much a flop when it was released, I guess we'll never see this 3rd and final installment.... read more

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1737 movies items)

" This sequel to the classic Chinatown finds private detective Jake Gittes still haunted by the events of the first film. Hired by a man to investigate his wife’s infidelities, Jake once again finds himself involved in a complicated plot involving murder, oil, and even some ghosts from his past. The film got mixed reviews from critics, and underperformed in theatres. A follow up, to Chinatown which some consider to be the better film. “Forget it, Jake. It’s a box office flop.”"
