''Another 48 Hrs.'' is a 1990 action-crime comedy film, directed by Walter Hill and stars Eddie Murphy, Nick Nolte, Brion James, Andrew Divoff, and Ed O'Ross. It is the sequel to the 1982 film ''48 Hrs.'' In the film, Nolte reprises his role as San Francisco police officer Jack Cates, who has 48 hours to clear his name from a potential manslaughter charge. To do so, he needs the help of Reggie Hammond (Murphy), Cates's friend who is now a newly released convict. At the same time, a notorious mastermind known only as the Iceman has hired a gang of bikers to kill Reggie. ==Plot== San Francisco cop Jack Cates is at the Hunter's Point Raceway checking out a known associate of the Iceman, Tyrone Burroughs, who for unknown reasons is giving some money to mechanic Arthur Brock. Among those who show up at the scene are fellow cops Ben Kehoe and Frank Cruise, and also Blake Wilson, the head of the Internal Affairs division. Cates tells Wilson that he shot Brock in self-defense as Brock had opened fire on him. Cruise picks up a burnt piece of twisted metal but says that he can't find Brock's gun. Cates, however finds a partly burnt picture of Reggie Hammond in Brock's bag. Cates then goes to visit Reggie in prison, with Reggie due for release in 24 hours. After getting hit in the face with a basketball by Reggie for refusing to promise Reggie his $500,000 unless Reggie helps him find the Ice Man, Jack discovers that Wilson plans to prosecute him on a charge of third degree manslaughter for the Arthur Brock shooting, with Wilson claiming that it was not self-defence and Jack is placed on suspension. Wilson also doesn't believe that the Iceman exists and believes Cates is wasting department resources looking for him. After Reggie is released from prison, bikers Richard "Cherry" Ganz, the brother of Albert Ganz, and Willie Hickok from The Brotherhood who had earlier killed two highway patrol officers and a bartender at a bar out in the desert, pull up beside the prison bus and open fire on Reggie, causing the bus to crash. Ganz and Hickok then pull up to a diner where Ganz shoots Cates who is sitting inside. Cates and Reggie end up at the same hospital where it is revealed that Cates was wearing a bullet proof vest and Reggie had escaped the hit with nothing more than a bump on his head. Cates then convinces the attending police officers to release Reggie into his custody by telling them that he is needed to identify the Kingpin of a child pornography ring. After arriving back in San Francisco, Jack and Reggie go to a bar, the bartender having called the police complaining about some bikers, again revealed to be Ganz, Hickok and the leader of The Brotherhood Malcolm Price. While Reggie is in the women's bathroom getting another patron's wallet back from a pick-pocket who tries unsuccessfully to stab him, Cates ends up in a bar fight with a man that he put in prison two years ago, and when Jack loses the advantage and starts getting beaten up, Reggie returns and asks the bartender if she has a gun and saves Jack by shooting one of the assailants in the left kneecap. Reggie then tells Cates that if he wants to find the Iceman he needs to go back to prison to talk to a man named Kirkland Smith who had not only kept Reggie alive while inside, but knows everything that goes on. Smith tells Jack and Reggie that Malcolm Price is staying at the Sunset Motel on the beltway, then angrily tells Reggie to repay his debt to him before breaking the dividing glass with a single punch. However, before Cates and Reggie can get to the motel, the Iceman shows up and kills Malcolm by shooting Malcolm 16 times. Cherry Ganz and Hickok then visit Tyrone Burroughs and kill him as a warning to the Iceman that there is a heavy price for killing one of The Brotherhood. Later that same day, Jack, who now thinks that he may never clear his name and find the Iceman, starts emptying his locker at the police station, and finally gives Reggie his money. That night, while Reggie is giving the money that he owes Kirkland Smith to his daughter Amy Smith, Cherry and Willie kidnap Reggie and Amy, and take them to the Bird Cage Club, where they meet with Cruise to receive a payoff for handing Reggie over to him (as retribution for killing one of their own). Cruise orders Cherry and Willie to kill Reggie and Amy, but then Jack shows up. Reggie then identifies the Iceman as Cate's friend Detective Ben Kehoe. Jack realizes that Kehoe had Cruise pick up Brock's gun at the track because Kehoe wanted Jack out of the way. This leads to a wild shootout that takes place in the Bird Cage club, with all but Cates and Amy Smith being shot or killed. Reggie punches Cherry who falls out of the third floor window. Reggie is then taken hostage by Kehoe. Cates shoots Reggie in the shoulder after Reggie jokes Cates should shoot him. When a surprised Reggie falls, Cates then kills Kehoe. While Reggie is being loaded onto the ambulance, Jack tells him that he found $500,000 that the Iceman was going to use to pay off the Brotherhood. As the ambulance leaves with Reggie, Jack realizes that Reggie has successfully stolen his lighter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Another 48 Hrs.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
