A direct-to-video sequel to the classic movie that made Christianity cool... in theory anyway. Christopher Walken (my favorite villain actor) reprises his role as the fallen angel Gabriel, still on his vendetta to overthrow God and destroy the human race! How can he return? Lucifer kicks him out of Hell of course! You know you've gotta be either one mad mother or a total pain in the ass if even the Devil can't stand you! Oh, and Thomas (from the last flick) has gone Monk, but is burned to a crispy pile of goo by Gabe, and the first film is tied up and put to rest. Meanwhile, another angel named Daniel impregnates a nurse, then runs off afterwards (ah, looks like male angels are just like male humans haha), but then pays for it as he and his holy winged pal Raphael (HAHA! All I can think of is Ninja Turtle Angels! HAHA!) get their asses handed to them by Gabe and his renegades. But, Daniel escapes. Oh, and as entertaining as always, Gabe is still technology illiterate, so he scrounges up some undead employees to chauffeur him around and shit. Val (the nurse) is now going to give birth to the Nephilim: a half human / half angel being that will contain the power to bring an end to the war between the angels and reunite them. Gabe has decided to take it upon himself to hunt and kill Val so the Neph cannot be born (uggh, too much stolen from TERMINATOR). After several attempts to get Val, Gabe is launched through a windshield (after the last film, you'd think he'd learn to wear his seat belt) and the fuzz unloads on him! Val and Dan retreat to the Garden of Eden (which has been turned into an industrial wasteland [VERY cool!]) where the obedient angels live, led by Michael. But, Mikey let's Gabe in, Gabe kills Dan, and then Gabe and Val fall off a building and Gabe is impaled... and I think to top it all off, Michael makes Gabe human (just to piss him off). Five years later, the Neph is now in school and Gabe is a common bum. Bruce Abbott filled in for Elias Koteas as Thomas the Monk, and Glen Danzig was in there somewhere... well, that's what the credits said. A textbook case of a sequel falling short of it's predecessor. There's talk of a 3rd PROPHECY movie in the making... BETTER HAVE GABRIEL DAMN IT!
