Plot

[edit]

The time flies and Jurek Kiler has as a practical matter forgotten that he used to work as a taxi driver and was suspected of series of murders. He is now a public figure, and together with his girlfriend Ewa runs a foundation which successfully raises money from all over the world. This idyllic and charitable life is thwarted, however when the two real murderers who are serving time —Siara and Lipski— do everything they can to kidnap and assassinate by proxy. Initially they hire a world-famous Polish assassin code-name Jackal, then a Cuban who is allegedly Kiler's double. Both specatularly fail in numerous attempts carry out their "responsibilities". The situation becomes even more perplexing when Lipski obtains a pass for his daughter Dona's wedding, only to learn that she has fallen for Kiler whom she wants to marry instead...

  • Siara's (Janusz Rewiński) villa in the suburbs of Warsaw is exactly the same building as the residency of Edward Nowak (Janusz Rewiński) in the Polish serial “Tygrysy Europy”.
  • When the Young Wolves enter Kiler's flat the film on TV is “Szwadron”, which had been directed by Juliusz Machulski .
  • In the scene at the airport Juliusz Machulski is holding a plate with “Barry Sonnenfeld” written on it –the director who was in talks to make an American version of the first film.

Mistakes

[edit]
  • One can spot a video camera operator in Aldona's glasses.
  • When Morales drives up outside Kiler's block of flats he parks his hummer next to a van, whereas when Kiler comes down the car is parked farther.
