Plot[]

The evil Professor Klon (Aznil Nawawi) is back after his previous defeat. This time, not only to overthrow the government and becomes the President of Metrofulus, but also to control the world's supply of fresh water through his ingenious plan: "Black Planet". When our blue planet has only 72 hours before turning black, Cicakman (Saiful Apek) comes to the rescue.

But much to his surprise as he face his old enemies: Ginger Boys, which has defeated by Cicakman, now return even more powerful into a spiritual form as Ginger Ghosts (Adlin Aman Ramlie & AC Mizal). In addition, he is now faced with Professor Klon's hired killer: Rrama (Tamara Bleszynski), a young lethal assassin who derives pleasure in killing as if it were a pure art form. As the situation starts taking a downward spiral, even a super hero needs help. But the help appears in the most unexpected forms, including Danny (Yusry Abd Halim) his demised best friend, a powerful feng shui master, Miss Chee (Louisa Chong) and an unlikely party.

Apart from his heavy responsibilities to save the world, he also has his own personal dilemmas to address; that is Hairi vs Cicakman. He has to resolve his personal feelings towards Tania (Fasha Sandha), who is seeking the true identity of Cicakman and he also has to choose whether to sacrifice his own life or save Iman (Sharifah Amani), Danny's blind sister.[6]

Production[]

The role as Rrama was offered to Erra Fazira, which is Yusry KRU's ex-wife, for the Cicak Man 2 sequel. But, she has rejected due to work and her scheduling conflict. The role was later given to popular Indonesian actress, Tamara Bleszynski, to play as one of the main antagonists for the sequel.

The shooting that took place in Penang, Gua Tempurung, Kampar, Universiti Teknologi Petronas, and Kuala Lumpur costs 2.5 million Ringgit. The costume used in the sequel is higher in quality than the prequel as well as the price cost MYR50 thousand per set while in the prequel the costume used costs only MYR20 thousand per set.[7]
