Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was never intended as a sequel to "Meatballs". The screenplay was originally titled "Call Me Meathead", then filmed under the working title, "Summertime". When the studio picked it up, they changed the name to "Meatballs Part II", much to the surprise of director Ken Wiederhorn.
- GoofsWhen Tommy "Wheelchair" McVee tries to stop Colonel Hershey under the bleachers, he struggles to stand up from his wheelchair. But when Meathead is leaving, all the boys come to the window to see him off, including Tommy who walks with no difficulty.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Masters of the Hunt... (2015)
Featured review
I was working at an actual summer camp the Summer this piece of crap was released. It was my sixth year at camp, as camper and counselor, and a big bunch of us (counselors) went on a day off to see it, with huge expectations. Needless to say, this 'film' has absolutely nothing to do with the mighty original. Rent the DVD of the original and watch the 'making of' part. It's a third as long and a hundred times better than this "sequel". I give it 2/10 only because there might be enough weed on Earth to make this vaguely amusing. Assuming you're watching it on a TV with only one channel.
IMDb demands ten lines of text to post a comment, so I guess they are intimately involved with the cretins that thought this was a viable movie. Actually, I'm sure they made money on it due to a budget of twelve dollars. The film was shot with a MONO soundtrack? Yeah, that's the way to save a couple grand! If only it had gone straight to VHS - I'd have saved my $3.75 back in 1984.
