Synopsis

Merry Men II continues the thrilling adventures of Ayo, Naz, Amaju, and Remi as they embark on another fast-paced, high-stakes mission. This time, however, the stakes are higher than ever, and they might be in over their heads. Driven by their deep love and unwavering determination to save Kemi, the Merry Men face new challenges. Life has changed for this once-charming foursome, and their latest mission pushes them to their limits.

Cast

According to a review by Nollywood Post, "Merry Men 2 is gifted with a more fluid storyline and better-connected scenes, thanks to its new writer. We knew what was going on. The Real Yoruba Demons made us look around in desperation several times, but Another Mission had us nodding and smiling."

Critical response

Writing for The Guardian, Phil Hoad gave it 2 stars and called it "low-budget Fast & Furious-style shenanigans… here are encouraging signs here that Nollywood is upping its action game, at least as far as realizing how quick editing can cover a multitude of staging sins. This is lucky because Inwang has no idea how to mount a dialogue scene, a series of lugubrious exposition-fests gradually tranquilizing the film."
