This actually belongs with the first film

-->-- '''Paul Blart'''

''Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2'' is the 2015 sequel to hit comedy ''Film/PaulBlartMallCop'', with Creator/KevinJames returning to his role as the determined and kindhearted mall cop.

As his daughter is about to attend college, Blart is determined to have one last bonding vacation with her. He decides to take her to UsefulNotes/LasVegas, which happens to also have a security convention going on. In a shock, he stumbles upon an art heist led by Vincent Sofel (Creator/NealMcDonough), and he and a group of fellow security guards must stop them.

!!The film provides examples of:
* CallBack:
** Paul's failed sliding motion to take cover.
** Paul's hypoglycemia incapacitating him and forcing him to seek any source of sugar no matter how gross or unconventional it is.
** The BigBad insults Paul's weaknesses like the previous one, and this time, he overhead Maya casually talking to Lane about it 2 minutes before TheReasonYouSuckSpeech took place.
** Paul does a slow advance towards [[spoiler:a woman he becomes attracted to]] at the end of the movie.
* CrazyPrepared: Ever since the first incident, Paul has outfitted Maya with tools in case she ever got abducted again (from giving her an electricity device to pick locks with a copper wire and ''a hidden switchblade'').
* CompanyCrossReferences / ShoutOut: In his keynote speech at the security convention, Paul gives a nod to Franchise/SpiderMan, a Marvel superhero that Sony Pictures owns the film rights for.
* HappyEndingOverride: The first five minutes or so of the sequel basically undo every good thing that happened to Paul ([[spoiler:six days into their marriage was enough for Amy to ''dump him'']]) in the first movie, then lay on some more trouble for good measure (two years later, his mother [[spoiler:died after being hit by a milk truck]]).
* MadeOfIron: Khan fights a highly acrobatic female thug who keeps pulling amazing moves to hurt him, but the former doesn't even flinch with every attack tossed at him.
** To a lesser extent, Paul, who somehow survives many injuries during the movie, including the horse back-kicking him like a ragdoll onto the side of a car.
* PapaWolf: Just knowing Maya got kidnapped again is enough for Blart to tap into his vigilante skills.
* PlotAllergy: [[spoiler:How the BigBad is taken down: Maya overheard Vincent complaining about oatmeal, which he is deathly allergic to, and uses a concealer infused with it to incapacitate him]].
* RunningGag: Paul constantly shocking a thug with a taser while on the phone and not paying too much attention to him.
* SeenItAll: Lane is so surprised to see Maya using the tools her father gave her in case she got kidnapped, to which she says she already went through a similar situation already.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Both Paul and [[spoiler:the police woman he meets in the epilogue use the expression "brothers-in-arms"]].
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler: Paul Blart's mother gets run over by a milk truck in the first five minutes.]]
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** In the first film, Amy was much more tolerant of Paul's eccentricities than most people would be, suggesting she did find him somewhat charming, but at the same time it was clear she was off-put by his more glaring flaws. They had also only known each other briefly and gone out on a single date, which went disastrously, before the attack on the mall led to a RescueRomance and quick wedding between them. [[spoiler: Overall, it's no big surprise that the marriage collapsed, although the fact it only lasted six days speaks a lot to how much of a schlub Paul is.]]
** Paul’s team manage to take down the lackeys using their slapstick/security weapons. [[spoiler: They later show up ready for round 2, as Paul realizes they were only incapacitated by non-lethal weapons.]]
* VolleyingInsults: Paul and Vincent engage on a long argument hurling strange insults.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Maya's love interest Lane disappears with no trace or explanation after the final scenes of the movie.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Divina falls infatuated for Paul so much that when she finally tells him that she loves him, [[spoiler:Paul turns her down and tells her that she only loves the adventurous side of him that doesn't show much in his normal life, but he gladly sets her up with Eduardo]].
** ...Though near the end, [[spoiler:Paul finds himself attracted with a police woman riding a horse, who seems to reciprocate his feelings despite not knowing about his heroics yet]].
* WorldOfJerkass: In the first movie, only a handful of characters seem to like and even respect Paul Blart. Everyone else is just a [[JerkAss jerk.]] Especially [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk SWAT Commander Kent]] and pen salesman [[HateSink Stuart]].
* YouAndWhatArmy: When facing Vincent, Paul calls his four fellow mall cop friends for backup. Vincent then [[spoiler:calls all of the henchmen Paul took on one-by-one, and then he complains to himself how the weapons he used were all non-lethal equipment]].
