Howling II: ... Your Sister Is a Werewolf

Director Philippe Mora didn't know that Sir Christopher Lee was a war hero in Czechoslovakia. This was not something he was allowed to talk about, but during World War II, he was part of an Intelligence Agency, and so when they showed up to film this movie in Czechoslovakia, he was greeted with a hero's welcome at the airport when they arrived. That's when Philippe first found out about his past, how he had been involved with killing one of the top Nazi officials, Reinhard Heydrich, and everything. Philippe couldn't believe it. One day, he took Philippe to Prague to visit a church. He remembers Sir Christopher Lee saying, "Dear boy, please come with me and let me tell you about what I've seen", and he then took Philippe inside to the basement and proceeded to tell him a story about how this was a place where people had been trapped by the Nazis and some very terrible things occurred there. It was such a profound moment for Philippe, because he realized just from where Christopher's gravitas came, he had seen true horror first-hand in his lifetime, and he used that in his performances. He was also a Nazi hunter for a couple of years after World War II. Christopher lived such an intriguing and complicated life, and most people don't have any idea of who he was beyond being such an iconic actor.

When Christopher Lee reads from the Book of Revelation, his Bible is opened near the middle. But this book is the last book of the Bible. Visually, it probably wouldn't have looked as good if the book was opened to the end, plus balancing it in his hand with all the weight on one side would have been difficult.

The closing credits run over what appear to be deleted scenes and alternate footage, along with the same scene of Sybil Danning ripping off her shirt, which is repeated 17 times.

The original HBO/Thorn tape release is dark and unwatchable, as well as cut. The cable version is bright and clear and features European folk music over the formerly silent end credits, but cut. The Republic/Lumiere tape release is bright and clear, (almost too bright in some suspense scenes), and was the longest version in existence until the release of the MGM DVD, which is not only uncut and in widescreen, but is bright, clear, and watchable. The Republic/Lumiere tape bears the retitling "Howling II: Stirba, Werewolf Bitch", while the DVD and the other VHS versions are still titled "Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf".
