Goofs

When kids who got attacked inside Satan's Den come back with the police they are in the back seat of the police car and get out at the same time the cop exits from the driver's seat. This should not be possible since the rear passenger doors of police cars are designed to only be opened from the outside.

Quotes

Ray: You have more flames than hell.

Alternate Versions

The UK video release was cut by 55 secs for a 15 certificate by the BBFC and edited a stabbing scene, a woman being crushed to death and her ankle chewed, and to heavily cut a scene of a man being sliced by a pendulum. The 2004 DVD featured a pre-edited print which restored some cuts but was missing shots from the woman's death and the pendulum scene.

Good

A paper-thin plot: Ghoulies II picks up a short time after the first movie, a few of the little nasties stow away on an amusement park ride and bring big bucks to a dying fair. The creatures are mad after an attempt to kill them, so the creatures go on a rampage through the fairgrounds, ultimately leading to an explosive conclusion.

Sounds corny? No matter what anyone says, this is utterly fantastic. I refuse to totally dismiss this, because I find it quite engaging, in a guilty pleasure sense. I have to say it blew me away! This might all sound corny, like a bad B-movie, but that is not the case. My rating: 7/10.
