Frogtown II

This has to be one of the stupidest films ever. In it, Lou Ferrigno (tv's "Incredible Hulk,kids), plays a texas rocket ranger who gets kidnapped by alien frogs. This is a modern b-movie, the scene where the frog band sing a song is sure to become a cult movie moment in years to come. Hilarious, if you like this sort of thing.

Sam Hell never repopulated the Earth and they don't even talk about that in this movie. I have no idea why they went back to Frogtown and I didn't really understand or enjoy anything that happened there. Except for the song that is performed live on stage, some kind of TMNT dis rap. The new guy playing Hell is just hard to look at, it doesn't help that the plot is non-existent.

Ahh, Frogtown II. I caught this thing on USA around 2AM last night... I honestly can't believe this thing was only 90 minutes. They didn't even show that many commercials... yet I was up till 5:30 watching it. Oh GOD it hurt, but I had to sit through it. Intensely low-budget fx, a hero with a really weird jaw and about three crappy scifi movies' worth of premises jammed into one make for... well... somethin. Really, I can't believe this was shot on film. It's tremendously awful... no one had any idea what they were doing. My personal favorite is the four-minute long song sung by the frog-person band, apparently just to express the movies' animosity toward the teenage mutant ninja turtle franchise. But I don't want to sell short the evil twins, cyborg frog heads or texas rocket rangers. So I'll just say... save yourself. Cause once you start watching, you'll be forced to sit there "waiting for the good part", to make sure the universe makes sense, because nothing that bad could get worse, right? Well... let's just say I don't know what to believe in any more.

Totally lacking the zest, actors, and budget of the original. Not sure if I can call a film that probably made very little a cash grab but it feels like it. A la the later entries of the original Planet of the Apes series, the costumes don't fit the actors and what looked bad looks worse. Feels like there was no care put into it. To all those curious: This is not worth your money buying a DVD or time finding a rip. I had to turn it off early but it was one of the biggest disappointments in film I've had.

I feel as though this movie accomplished what it set out to do. It was a humerous sequel to the original "Frogtown" in which a oversized jaw hero thwarts the frogs evil plans, not to mention Denise Duff from "Subspecies" looking good as ever. This is not a show for everyone, but if you enjoy silly sci-fi's then give this one a try.
