About this movie

Get ready for the next Sting! Those incredible con men are at it again and setting their next scheme in motion. The Depression is over and everybody wants an even bigger piece of the action. It's twist after twist as Gondorff (Jackie Gleason), Hooker (Mac Davis) and Countess Veronica (Teri Garr) try to out sting both Doyle Lonnegan (Oliver Reed), the notorious gangster previously stung by this group and now out for revenge and profit, and Macalinski (Karl Malden), a local racketeer. It's the con to outdo all cons, and someone's finally going to get stung... but who?

Ratings and reviews

Gleason makes this one fun to watch. He makes the role he plays seem natural and not acting at all. The plot is a bit less involved and the comedy richer than the first Sting. Worth watching.

A complete mess. Embarrassing for all concerned.

A fun, entertaing film.
