Trivia:

Even though this movie is titled "Boggy Creek II" it's actually the third movie of the Boggy Creek series. Charles B. Pierce, the producer of the original "Boggy Creek" - The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972) - didn't have anything to do with the first "Boggy Creek II", Return to Boggy Creek (1977), so he decided to ignore that one and make this as the sequel.

Goofs:

Plot holes: At then end of the flashback about Otis Tucker, he is stated to have never regained consciousness. This makes the Professor's knowledge of the entire encounter either a significant plot hole or very poor (and confusing) storytelling.

Quotes:

Professor Brian C. 'Doc' Lockart:These river bottoms are truly a sight to behold.

Charles' home video

My friend bought two DVDs for a pound (i.e. under $1 each) figuring that no matter how poor the films, the cases they came in would be worth the expenditure. That gives you some idea of what value the bottom end of UK retailing places on this...

If you look at the credits: Written by Charles B Pierce, Directed by Charles B Pierce, Starring Charles B Pierce, Chuck Pierce, Mack Pierce (who probably provided his own boat), Pam Pierce (who I think did the make-up too), Coke scrounged from (here) Jeep borrowed from (here), Computer borrowed from (here) etc. you get the impression this is a family "let's help Dad/Charles out here" movie on the tightest budget and a lot of goodwill.

The most frightening experience for Charles & the kids seemed to be an incident when a dog barked at them (a lot). Despite being armed Charles was unable to get a single shot in the noisy animal even at close range, utterly pathetic.

Think of people in monkey suits, literally. I found a slight tendency to smile when I saw a monkeyed-up kid 'attacking' someone, but the entire thing was very poor indeed. I can't remember why I forced myself to watch this, but force myself I did. Perhaps it was a desire to see the credits that kept me going?

Never, ever - life's too short.
