As we stated before, Major Paine WAS in Captain Ron, only he went under the alias of Mambo, the dude that gave Caroline her tattoo. Since he had such a small, yet interesting role it's not surprising that they gave the character a storyline to himself! And what better would boost rating than to get Damon Wayans to do the acting for the Mamba/Major Payne character since he was a very recognizable face. Think about it, it actually makes sense, just open your mind a little

So on the grounds that since a black man is in "Captain Ron", that's enough to warrant that it's the same character as Major Payne? No, Mambo's spin-off movie was "Training Day" but Denzel Washington played him. No actually it's "The Nutty Professor" and the skinny version of Eddie Murphy was actually Mambo/Major Payne. Also "The Departed" is actually the 3rd film in the epic "Captain Ron" series, followed by "Coming To America", somehow released several years prior to the first film due to the time travel aspect revealed in Captain Ron part 5 (titled "Team America: World Police" for unknown reasons) and the 6th film was "The Matrix" (also a spin-off of the TV series that inspired "Captain Ron" called "American Idol").
If that's confusing so is this topic, but it makes as much sense as "Major Payne" being "Captain Ron 2". And ratings are for TV shows, not movies. -

It has nothing to do with skin color ! I don't want to argue. I guess take it up with Kurt Russel since he stated that in the bonus features. Just thought it was crazy and wondered if anyone else saw that and what they thought, not to argue.

He was kidding. On the other hand, Captain Ron's eyepatch was done by him as a nod to his Snake Plisken character from "Escape From New York". One could make another argument that this is what Snake was doing before the world fell apart prior to "Escape From New York", lol.

Well ya might wanna let everyone know who worked on "Captain Ron" and "Major Payne" cause they're all unaware of this. Ya know what, "Willow" takes place between "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings". They're similar enough that I don't even need to explain cause it makes more sense then your odd Ron/Payne connection.

This isn't about movies that are similar! This is about 2 movies with the same character, this being Mamba/Major Payne! I thought it was great instead of Kurt Russel hogging all the limelight for a sequel, they got the Mamba/Major Payne character to shine.
I understand it's not as obvious as the 6 sequels of Police Academy BUT.it's definitely a sequel and a d*mn good one I might add -
