[one of the soldiers while trying to get up knocks over a can of gasoline with their knee and the two start fighting]
Dr. Ann Taylor:
Stop it!
[they still fight]
Dr. Ann Taylor:
I said *stop it!*
[they still continue to fight]
Dr. Ann Taylor:
Stop it right now!
[one of their guns goes flying and almost hits Dr. Ann Taylor who yelps. A second later, she picks up the gun and fires a warning shot at the two. They both stop fighting frozen in shock as they see Dr. Ann Taylor holding the gun on them]

You Must Be Crazy If You Don't Like This One Too
Rating:
This sequel is definitely not as insightful about the nature of man as the
original, but there're still more than enough slapsticks, romance and family
drama to make up for it.
The two children are particularly adorable, their strength comes from their
innocence, without the precocity that has become the hallmark of Hollywood.
Their storyline is thus the most heart-warming of all.
The two soldiers from opposing forces provide much of the slapstick of
movie, and they are very good, with exceptionally funny facial
expressions.
And let¡¯s not count Lena Farugia and Hans Strydom out, who play a doctor of
law from New York and a zoologist on assignment ¨C their opposite-attract
romance is rather stereotypical but Lena in particular is such a charming
delight that I forget how much Strydom looks like Tom Selleck, instead,
wonder why Lena had not since made another movie - yes, really sad :( - she
could¡¯ve been a big star.
So in the end, one very funny little film, worth every penny and more to
rent or buy. Keep some band-aids with you while watching, as you may get
some stitches in your side.
