The daughter of the werewolf from AWIL is alive and living in Paris where her mother (from the first film) and stepfather are trying to overcome her lycanthropic disease. A trio of American tourists on a thrill seeking trip around Europe manage to stop her from plunging to her death from the top of the Eiffel tower and are embroiled in a horrific but often hilarious plot involving a secret society of werewolves based in the city and a drug which allows werewolves to change at any time... This time there's no need for a full moon... —Ben Jewitt <moribund.boy@mcmail.com>

Trivia
Julie Delpy now admits that the only reason she made the film was to pay her rent.

Goofs
When Andy bungee jumps off the Eiffel Tower, he hits his head on the rebound. If he had rebounded back from where he was shown, it would have smashed his skull to pieces and killed him instantly.

Quotes
Andy McDermott: So... hey you guy's are werewolves too, huh? Super glad to know you.
Claude: Andy, I don't think you have accepted the gift that has been given to you, or much less appreciated it. We have a mission, Andy. To purify the world that why we pick our victim's through the scul of society. The governments of the world spend billions on medicine, welfare, charity to what affect? It only keeps alive the weak the stupid the lazy who breed and multiply and weaking the human race. All my men I have chosen for their loyalty their dedication to the coming age. But you... you were not to have been. You're an accident, an anomaly. I do not wish to kill you. I pray you will join is in our rise to become the new mankind. Pure free of disease free from the trappings of technological advance, will you join us... Andy?
Andy McDermott: I don't know. You know that's a big decision. I'm gonna need some time to think about that.
Claude: Sure.

Alternate versions
When first released on DVD in Australia, the film featured the werewolf baby ending. Subsequent Australian DVD releases feature the more widely seen Statue of Liberty ending.

6/10

Not as bad as it could have been...

This movie was not a terrible successor to the 1981 classic An American Werewolf in London. There are ways in which it could have been worse. The possibility that Seraphine could have been David's (the werewolf in the original) daughter was presented in a rumor mill while the film was still in post, the idea turned my stomach. Thankfully, they took it in a different direction. The humor is good, the special effects are somewhat lacking, but overall the idea was a great one. Fans of the original shouldn't be mad, the two films stand on their own, as separate entities. Will they make another? The question is already being tossed about, I hear.
