Frogtown II (1992)

Just perfect...

Fresh and Exciting

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Return to Frogtown was a hard film to track down. Well, I accomplished that mission and it had been sitting on the shelf for a good while. Wish it was kept that way! First, Sam Hell is of course not Roddy Piper. He is replaced by a dude with a large face, less charisma, and this poor actor is very soft-spoken for the part! Sam Hell is supposed to be rebellious and awesome. Here, he gets captured THREE times! What kind of a hero is that?! Spangle is replaced as well here by another actress. Why did we not get different characters here? This was stupid! Lou Ferrigno stars in this film and he is not even the hero. Common sense says let Lou be the hero of the film! Bad effects, poor acting, and just a forgettable film. Funny as they take shots at Ninja Turtles 2 with the whole concert scene in this movie. At least Ninja Turtles 2 was funny and not a bad movie! I really wanted to like Return to Frogtown, but I just cringed when the fight scenes would commence. This film makes Turtles 3 look like gold! Avoid this or you will be the one singing "meaner, greener, talking turtle TV dinner!"

I was numb after watching this movie. I think the director and producer should be slapped for making something like this. This movie defines the term "cheesy". I think the rocket ranger concept is the result of a weekend brainstorming session in which three men consumed about 400 bottles of Corona beer. I bought a copy of this movie because I think it will someday replace "Plan Nine from Outer Space" as the worse movie ever made. Maybe this was the true motive for making this film?

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.

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.
