    Edit
    • Trivia
      This is a sequel in name only as its plot or characters have no bearing on the 1976 film. It was, however, originally intended to be a true sequel, with Burt I. Gordon (director of the 1976 film) returning, but the idea was dropped sometime in pre-production.
    • Goofs
      When Edmund is becoming infected with dog cancer, a crew member can be seen in the lower left-hand corner of the screen operating the pumps that squirt the white goo out of the lumps on Colin Fox's face.

      Dr. Treger: [introducing Neil to the giant child] Bobby, I want you to meet my colleague, Dr. Hamilton.

      Bobby: I'd like you to get the fuck outta here!

      Dr. Treger: It's all right.

      Bobby: Get outta here! Are you deaf? Get outta my room! Get outta here, you bitch, get outta here! Get outta my room!

    Rather gory sequel to Food of the Gods
    Food of the Gods 2 followed 16 years after the original movie and is a lot more gory than Food of the Gods and less enjoyable but not total trash.

    An experiment on growth hormone goes wrong and this results in rats growing into giants and going on the rampage. They appear very hungry and kill and eat quite a few people until they are killed at the end. We also get to see the pleasure of a man melting.

    This is much more gory than 1976's Food of the Gods but I quite enjoyed it despite this. I laughed at the melting man sequence.

    Food of the Gods 2 is worth looking at, despite all that gore.

    Rating: 2 and a half stars out of 5.
