Enjoyable B-movie,

‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper stars as Sam Hell…who comes to Frogtown. See? It does what it says on the tin! Anyway, Hell is one of the last virile men on our post apocalyptic planet. His mission? To impregnate women and restart the human race! The catch? Said women are being held hostage by huge mutant frogs AND if Hell decides on a bit of pre-rescue nookie, his codpiece explodes…
This ridiculous film from 1988 has always been one of those cheesy, brain-dead delights. It requires nothing of the viewer for 88 minutes. You don’t even have to think very hard (if at all) as the ‘plot’ is so scarce that the film gets by on its good humour alone and some so-so special effects. Roddy Piper is his usual self, the women are scantily clad, it has huge randy frogs in. What more do you want?

|Good Fun B Movie!,

This is perfect late night viewing! Roddy Piper is as macho as ever delivering cheesy one liners and theres a few gorgeous women in this too! They must have made around two frog masks for this film as theres so few frogs on screen at once but this B movie has alot of charm is well paced and funny,films with 100 times the budget should take note of these fun 80s movies.DVD is in widescreen and contains trailer and a commentary(I cant believe theres a commentary on this DVD, ET doesnt have a commentary but this does?!)

|So bad is brilliant,
If you are looking for an evening of well-structured, intelligent comedy- this is most definitely not it. However if you are looking for a very unpretentious movie about mutant frogs, wrestlers with bombs on their crotches and a lot of women who look like they’ve escaped from a Kate Bush video (acres of floaty chiffon and bad dancing abound)- this is definitely the movie for you. Watching it with a group of friends, the hammy one-liners, frankly ridiculous story-line and endearingly amateur special effects (the frogs appear to be about one step up from sock puppets)actually had us in tears of laughter. Each time you think it can’t get any more ridiculous, it delivers.
And unlike many bad movies, it never actually takes itself very seriously either. Probably best watched in company so you can check with the person next to you that yes, that really just did happen. Maybe with lots of cocktails too. Was sufficiently impressed with this offering that I have ordered the B-movie collection boxset and am now waiting to see if it can be bested!
