Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeveral additional moments of gore were filmed after principal shooting on the movie had wrapped. That is because the Weinsteins, after a test screening of this movie, complained about the lack of blood and demanded re-shoots. Jeff Burr refused, and another director was hired to do the re-shoots. In an interview, Burr commented, "they cut a little bit of (the film) out and they added some badly done blood effects. Badly done, because Terry O'Quinn refused to do it. Really, they were meaningless, so that was irritating."
- GoofsWhen The Stepfather is arranging a victim's house and body to look like a suicide, the victim's dead body, hanging from a noose, blinks.
- Quotes
[TV edited without profanity]
Gene Clifford: You're gonna be late for your own wedding, if you don't hurry up.
Carol Grayland: Gene, there's something that I have to ask you.
Gene Clifford: Go ahead, Sweetheart.
Carol Grayland: The first night that we were together. You came back with a bottle of wine like this. Where did you get it?
Gene Clifford: I don't remember, why?
Carol Grayland: This is the same one that Matty had.
Gene Clifford: So what? What's this all about?
Carol Grayland: Answer the question, where did you get it?
Gene Clifford: What's the difference?
Carol Grayland: The difference is that you taught my son the same song that Sam heard the night that Matty died. That's difference! Now answer the question. Where did you get the wine?
Gene Clifford: [Growling] What do I have to do? Why is this so hard? Haven't I said that I love you? Haven't I been like a father to that boy? I even had sex with you, for God's sake!
[Grabs the bottle of wine]
Gene Clifford: You will never--
[thudding]
Gene Clifford: Find a better family man than me, pumpkin.
[Gene is strangely whispered]
Gene Clifford: Not in this lifetime.

You have to remember that this film was basically made in only 4 months. That's writing the script, casting, shooting, post production, etc. It was made for about 1 and a half million dollars and originally was supposed to be a direct to video release. Some additional shots were added and changed when the studio decided it was going to run a theatrical release like the first Stepfather, and they needed a more violent "Horror Movie".
The new DVD release presents the film in it's original Widescreen format, and it's a very sharp Animorphic transfer. A great thing included on the disc is that it has many alternate and extended scenes that were from the original Director's cut. There is also a short still gallery, and a very interesting full-length commentary by the Director and Producer of Stepfather 2. The only thing missing is a theatrical trailer...albeit most Buena Vista DVD's lack a trailer so it's no big surprise there.
If you like this film then you need this DVD, it easily blows away the old VHS and Laserdisc editions. Now, if only they'd release the 1st Stepfather movie on DVD!!!
