Due to the later sequels keeping the tone as a straight up action-oriented one, the recycled plot elements became far easier to notice. However, the noticeable difference is the Genre Shift from an action-horror film in the original to a straight action film here, and which arrivee from the future is the villain is actually ambiguous until that moment of "get down", so the recycled plot elements were done differently enough to not generate complaints of it being a rehash. So the film was recycling elements from previous films as early as this one. They eventually wind up in some sort of foreboding building structure with limited places to escape, where both the hero and villain die in the climax. After the tanker truck has been destroyed it seems like the villain has finally been killed, only to turn out to be even more resilient than anyone imagined. The villain finally comes upon the heroes again and chases after them, even managing to get a successful shot off that wounds one of the heroes, and eventually commandeers a tanker truck midway through the chase after the original vehicles crash. The hero saves the target, has another encounter with the villain at some sort of law or government sanctioned building (police station in the original mental institution here), and eventually escape and go into hiding for a bit.
