Mannequin Two: On the Move
A sequel to Mannequin with completely new characters and story, this doesn't sound too promising... It starts off in the past again, where a Prince wants to marry a commoner, with a sorcerer ending up turning the commoner into a status/doll/mannequin, only being able to turn back to life if she finds true love within 1000 years. Fast forward to the present and we follow Jason, an apprentice window dresser. Naturally, he finds the mannequin, called Jessy, and brings her back to life and now must escape the clutches of the sorcerer (who is still alive to this day). Mannequin Two has a stronger fantasy element to the plot, which doesn't make it as believable as the first movie. It also loses its charm since it's a mannequin in name only, everyone can see her for real. There was a good scene during the climax but overall, fairly stock standard.
