Casting

On June 1, 2015, it was reported that The Garden and Half Past Dead film director Don Michael Paul will be directing the film, and Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be reprising his role as Detective John Kimble. Schwarzenegger announced that his character, Detective John Kimble, is now officially retired from being a kindergarten teacher and police officer.

Schwarzenegger was replaced by Dolph Lundgren as a new character FBI Agent Zack Reed. On December 21, 2015, the 25th anniversary of the theatrical release of the original film, the first official photos of Kindergarten Cop 2 were released via About.[5]

Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes this film has 4 reviews, all negative.[6] Common Sense Media gave the film a score of 2 out of 5, and described it as "FBI man meets cute kids in trite comedy; violence, profanity."[7] Randall Colburn of Consequence of Sound gave it a grade D+ and wrote: "Kindergarten Cop 2 ultimately resonates as nothing more than a sub-par rendition of its predecessor. The script is bad, the direction is uninspired, the villain is boring, and Lundgren can't navigate that space between comedy and action like Arnie can."[8]
