Disappointing

[13Funbags · 3/10 · 17 April 2018]

Sam Hell never repopulated the Earth and they don't even talk about that in this movie. I have no idea why they went back to Frogtown and I didn't really understand or enjoy anything that happened there. Except for the song that is performed live on stage, some kind of TMNT dis rap. The new guy playing Hell is just hard to look at, it doesn't help that the plot is non-existent.

Why not name our hero Ranger Jaws here?

Return to Frogtown was a hard film to track down. Well, I accomplished that mission and it had been sitting on the shelf for a good while. Wish it was kept that way! First, Sam Hell is of course not Roddy Piper. He is replaced by a dude with a large face, less charisma, and this poor actor is very soft-spoken for the part! Sam Hell is supposed to be rebellious and awesome. Here, he gets captured THREE times! What kind of a hero is that?! Spangle is replaced as well here by another actress. Why did we not get different characters here? This was stupid! Lou Ferrigno stars in this film and he is not even the hero. Common sense says let Lou be the hero of the film! Bad effects, poor acting, and just a forgettable film. Funny as they take shots at Ninja Turtles 2 with the whole concert scene in this movie. At least Ninja Turtles 2 was funny and not a bad movie! I really wanted to like Return to Frogtown, but I just cringed when the fight scenes would commence. This film makes Turtles 3 look like gold! Avoid this or you will be the one singing "meaner, greener, talking turtle TV dinner!"

I've Seen Worse, But Rarely More Boring

Totally lacking the zest, actors, and budget of the original. Not sure if I can call a film that probably made very little a cash grab but it feels like it. A la the later entries of the original Planet of the Apes series, the costumes don't fit the actors and what looked bad looks worse. Feels like there was no care put into it. To all those curious: This is not worth your money buying a DVD or time finding a rip. I had to turn it off early but it was one of the biggest disappointments in film I've had.

A Good laugh

This has to be one of the stupidest films ever. In it, Lou Ferrigno (tv's "Incredible Hulk,kids), plays a texas rocket ranger who gets kidnapped by alien frogs. This is a modern b-movie, the scene where the frog band sing a song is sure to become a cult movie moment in years to come. Hilarious, if you like this sort of thing.

interesting flick

I feel as though this movie accomplished what it set out to do. It was a humerous sequel to the original "Frogtown" in which a oversized jaw hero thwarts the frogs evil plans, not to mention Denise Duff from "Subspecies" looking good as ever. This is not a show for everyone, but if you enjoy silly sci-fi's then give this one a try.

I want 90 minutes of my life back

[Misc_T · 11 April 1999]

Ahh, Frogtown II. I caught this thing on USA around 2AM last night... I honestly can't believe this thing was only 90 minutes. They didn't even show that many commercials... yet I was up till 5:30 watching it. Oh GOD it hurt, but I had to sit through it. Intensely low-budget fx, a hero with a really weird jaw and about three crappy scifi movies' worth of premises jammed into one make for... well... somethin. Really, I can't believe this was shot on film. It's tremendously awful... no one had any idea what they were doing. My personal favorite is the four-minute long song sung by the frog-person band, apparently just to express the movies' animosity toward the teenage mutant ninja turtle franchise. But I don't want to sell short the evil twins, cyborg frog heads or texas rocket rangers. So I'll just say... save yourself. Cause once you start watching, you'll be forced to sit there "waiting for the good part", to make sure the universe makes sense, because nothing that bad could get worse, right? Well... let's just say I don't know what to believe in any more.

Ever wonder where many 'Villian" actors do in spare time? Here they ALL are!

I got this B-movie as a gift due to friends knowing that I love to view train wreck tacky movies on DVD. I was not disappointed but I actually enjoyed this one. I liked seeing my favorite character actors show up 'en masse' in this little film. My 'baddies' fav actors are Charles Napier, Don Stroud, Brion James and the visually scary -Robert Z'Dar. It was fun to see them all together in this same film. Also a nice ladies eye-candy surprise was seeing Denice Duff, Linda Singer and the lovely blonde Rhonda Shear. The strangest part of the film is the Frogtown mutant bar stage band singing sequences. I guess everyone wanted to get into this blockbuster film -sarc- for that Hollywood fame. The main lead character was played by the pro-wrestler, Roddy Piper (best scifi film was 'They Live!') in the first film, but changed in this film lead to the comic book looks of Z'Dar. Not bad. It was very pleasing to see that most of the vehicle driving and town exteriors were shot at the Paramount Ranch in Agoura, Calif. The lead frog mutants makeup was very well done and added to the drama. I must say the gimmick of using a hand puppet frog mutant in the film as a character and to end the film with a BIG laugh with that hand puppet was just too clichéd an ending for my sensibilities. Too much!

Cruel and unusual punishment

[bodie · 13 August 1999]

I was numb after watching this movie. I think the director and producer should be slapped for making something like this. This movie defines the term "cheesy". I think the rocket ranger concept is the result of a weekend brainstorming session in which three men consumed about 400 bottles of Corona beer. I bought a copy of this movie because I think it will someday replace "Plan Nine from Outer Space" as the worse movie ever made. Maybe this was the true motive for making this film?
