Short description

F/X man Rollie Tyler is now a toymaker. Mike, the ex-husband of his girlfriend Kim, is a cop. He asks Rollie to help catch a killer. The operation goes well until some unknown man kills both the killer and Mike. Mike's boss, Silak says it was the killer who killed Mike but Rollie knows it wasn't. Obviously, Silak is involved with Mike's death, so he calls on Leo McCarthy, the cop from the last movie, who is now a P.I., for help and they discover it's not just Silak they have to worry about.

What's left behind the scenes

  • When Rollie calls Chris on the phone, the boy is watching the first film in the series, "Illusion of Murder," on television.
  • After its release, the film came under strong criticism in the media from special effects artists, who claimed that the film revealed their professional secrets.
  • Although the film is set in New York, much of it was shot in Toronto. The streets in Toronto's Chinatown had to be dirtied to match those of New York.
