Exterminator 2 is widely regarded as a low-budget, gratuitously violent action film characteristic of its era. While it delivered on its promise of gritty urban warfare and over-the-top action for genre fans, it was critically panned for its thin plot, excessive gore, and poor acting. It has since developed a cult following for its unapologetic B-movie sensibilities.

• Praised for its relentless, if crude, action sequences.
• Criticized for its excessive and often laughable violence.
• Seen as a quintessential example of 1980s exploitation cinema.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a mixed reception, with some appreciating the film's straightforward revenge plot and brutal action. However, many viewers found the violence to be overdone and the overall quality lacking, labeling it as a typical 'so bad it's good' cult classic.

The film's notorious use of a flamethrower to dismember a drug dealer was a point of contention and contributed to its notoriety for graphic violence.
