Hell Comes to Frogtown

Rating:
Summary: Good cult movie
Review: HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN is a little seen gem. After nuclear war, almost every man on the planet is impotent and frogs have grown to human size. One of these frogs, Commander Toty, has kidnapped some fertile women because of their value to humans. Sam Hell (Rowdy Roddy Piper) has the highest sperm count of any man on the planet and he is called in to save the women from Frogtown and get them pregnant. The DVD of this film is good, but doesn't have nearly enough extras. The trailer, production notes booklet and commentary (by Donald G. Jackson and Randall Frakes) are good but this release could've been helped by more extra material.

Summary: Colder than a frog's butt...
Review: I cuddled up to a 1988 low budget sci-fi
flunky on a cold Sunday evening to watch a film entitled "Hell Comes to Frogtown". No
foolin'...That is the honest to goodness title.

Granted, it's freezing outside, and I should have
started the fireplace and read a good book, but
instead I wasted 90 mintes of my life waiting for this
loser to light a fire under me. Never happened. I
was hoping it was a comedy. What I got was a croaker
from start to finish. This film is definitely colder
that a frog's butt (no pun intended).

Catch this! It's the tale of post world-war
destruction. 67% of the male population is wiped out
and Mr. Sam Hell is identified as a fertile male. He
is recruited by the government, fitted with a cast
metal loin brace, and sent to Frogtown to impregnate
wanton and fertile females. What's the point? They
want to perpetuate the war by increasing the number of
male soldiers. (Kinda sounds like the Bush regime,
huh?) Now I know why Colin Powell was axed. He was
the likely screenwriter and co-producer.

By the way. The apparatus they affix to his groin is
a time bomb. If he tries to escape the grasp of
government moguls it will explode...by the twist of an
earring. That's right...an earring.

I wish I could say something good about this film.
Not even the "Dance of the Three Snakes" (performed by
a skinny blonde "Twiggy" look-a-like) was worth the
effort.

Hell really didn't come to Frogtown. It came into my
living room.

Don't even think of renting this. I'd watch a Kermit
and Miss Piggy flick first.

Summary: A Saturday afternoon well spent
Review: I have seen this movie several times in the past, and I enjoyed it a lot. Yes it's campy, but whats wrong with that? This movie is FUN! It never pretended to be Sheakspear, just a good old fashion bad movie for your weekend party, or that three A.M. time slot when you need to watch something, but infomercials and the psychic hotline just aren't your thing. So grab some popcorn and a soda and sit back and enjoy a really good "bad movie". you won't regret it. If anybody out there knows where I can find a copy let me know at: [e-mail] My copy lost a fight with my dog, and I've been trying to replace it for months.

Summary: If you want funny
Review: I think this is one of Roddy's funnest movies. If you just want some silly fun, you need to see this movie. And if anyone knows where I can find a copy please let me know, at [e-mail]

Summary: One of the worst films ever. Should've been on MST3K!
Review: If I felt this is one of the worst films ever, then why did I give it a five star rating? Well, because this movie is so bad that I found a lot of appeal to it. I never laughed so hard at the bad acting, the bad hairstyles, and of course, the worst costumes you have ever seen. Just wait until you see those mutant frog people. Never in my life have I ever seen costumes so poorly done, the people who made those costume did such an awful job at making them look like frogs. And nothing is so silly as to see Sam Hell's genitals attached to a device that electricutes his genitals if he strays too far. This is the type of film you wonder why it was never featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Of course you're in for a bad film where the only credibility one of the actors, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper had, is bodyslamming his opponents in WWF pro-wrestling. But this movie deserves a five star rating because it's so bad, it's actually great.

Summary: Borderline retarted
Review: If you want a good laugh, get this. If you wanna see how bad movies can get, watch this...Still very fun to watch but make sure you're not tired..or...you will pass out...

Summary: Turn Off Your Brain
Review: If you're going to turn in for the camp classic HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN, make sure to turn off your brain. This wild romp about the last fertile man on a mission to repopulate the Earth stars former wrestler turned REAL Thespian, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and a host of masked Frogmen. In the vein of the MAD MAX series of films and perhaps a hint of CHERRY 2000, HELL is worth a single viewing if only for the laugh content alone ... but not a bit of what you see should you take seriously.

Summary: Good silly fun
Review: Intentionally campy (and funny) science-fiction flick showed me, quite surprisingly, that Rowdy Roddy Piper actually can act. It's nothing great, but I was amused nearly the whole way through. Some of the scenes have stayed in my mind for years. I'm specifically thinking of the one where the frog-girl (nice human body but the head of a frog) wants to have sex with Piper. He doesn't want to hurt her feelings and says okay...if she will put a brown paper bag over her head. A cute film.

Summary: Nothing is more amusing than a bad 80s flick.
Review: It's already been said by everyone else. This movie is so bad its good. I bought it for 3.99 on a closeout rack. In the DVD menu they even mis-spelled the word "start," as in "STRAT movie" and how can anybody not love Roddy Piper from "They Live" fame?

But whatever you do, do NOT pay the 22 dollars these shmucks want for it. Unless of course you bought "Jackass: The Movie" or "Freddy vs. Jason". Then, well, go ahead. You deserve to be ripped off.
