This time, Gabriel has been spit from the bowels of Hell, where even Lucifer tired of the chaos he created. He is stalking the L.A. streets in hopes of finishing his bloody war by murdering the second incarnation of Christ, who is gestating within the womb of nurse Jennifer Beals.

    I like The Prophecy, it's a great and unique movie and the sequel The Prophecy II is a great follow up. Chirstopher Walken does another great performance as Gabriel, he's such a talented actor and this role is one of the best roles he's done. The plot sees a women named Valerie w... read moreho works as a nurse suddenly have a man crash land on her car, in the hospital she wants to make it up with him so after walking her home he sleeps with her meanwhile Gabriel is released from hell by Lucifer, he then goes to find Valerie who could stop the war with her child. Gabriel finds two teens who commit suicide by crashing their car so he resurrects the girl named Izzy who can help him find her, soon Gabriel discovers where she is and goes to kill her but suddenly Danyeal shows up and holds him off but Gabriel overpowers Danyeal and impales him then goes after her, Danyael then gets up and tries to find her. Soon Danyael finds Valerie and takes her to the church where he shows her his true form. While he searches for Thomas's note book Gabriel shows up and tries to kill her but the police arrive and shoot him, Danyael quickly leaves with Valaerie.

    In the police station Gabriel wakes up and takes Izzy from the interrogation room, Danyeal and Valreie must go to Eden where she will be protected by the Angel Michael but Gabriel arrives there and is let in so Valerie must be strong or Gabriel will kill her and the war will continue.

    The Prophecy II is a great sequel to the 1995 classic.

    Mediocre sequel to a great original. The whole of the plot is geared around a very shaky plotpoint though.

    Prophecy II is a noticeable step down from the first one, no doubt due in large part to the absence of Elias Koteas. The second one also lacks much of the humor the first one had, which gave Prophecy I so much charm. Still, it's Christopher Walken as an evil angel, which is alway... read mores awesome, and Brittany Murphy was a refreshing casting choice.

    I was confused about the plot. Just really didn't care for the film and it was obviously not as good as the first.

    Campy B-Films are more entertaining than this movie. The story sucked, the acting was really awful and the characters were just too corny. Nothing progresses with the sequel as it is rehashed garbage. The first film was somewhat entertaining this sequel should never have been made.

    hmm..this one was kinda wierd ..not as good as the first one and the part where the angel's doin that chick is just disturbing..

If you thought The Prophecy was a fluke, it was.
