YMMV / Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead

• Ass Pull: The final scene also mandates you believing that Rusty Nail jumped out of his truck as it was careening out the side of a cliff and somehow managed to sneak past the two heroes, in a part of desert with absolutely no way to cover himself.
• Complete Monster: The trucker "Rusty Nail", unlike his original counterpart, is portrayed as a cruel, sadistic Serial Killer, who targets his victims with little to no provocation. Opening the second film murdering a prostitute he lured into his truck, Rusty spends the movie chasing down a group of friends who stole his car; his deeds include having a woman strip on camera; ripping the jaw off a bystander trying to help his captive; and maiming and torturing two victims in a sadistic game of dice, impaling the loser through the head. In the third film, Rusty takes a couple of junkies and forces them to play a "game", which gets them pulled under his truck on the highway. Picking off a race crew who cut him off on the road, Rusty forces one victim's hand and face through his engine fan clutch; kills a cop; and forces the crew to listen to their friend getting his head slowly crushed for getting them involved. Rusty forces a man to fight him head on under the promise of freeing his girlfriend, only to reveal he already killed her and was playing her screams on a recording.
• Fanon Discontinuity: The final act of the film, where it really gets Bloodier and Gorier, can be tempting to disregard.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Rusty's transformation from a ruthless Karmic Trickster into a generic Serial Killer has plenty of detractors.
• The Woobie: Melissa. During a road trip to her wedding, her fiancee is kidnapped and tortured, while she's sent on a twisted cat-and-mouse game to rescue him that involves being forced to strip down to her underwear in front of a stranger (who posts a video of this online) and seeing her sister get murdered.
