I resemble that remark..........2006-12-05

Actually I got to participate for 3 days in the shooting of this fiasco.
I was one of the frog guards (not credited). I got to meet Rowdy Roddy Piper who was very friendly and Sandahl Bergman who asked me where she could get some coffee. The frog puns were flying a mile a minute on the set and some were unbearable. Also note the green beer made of 7-up and Palmolive. Three nights in a warehouse was too much for me and I refused to continue in a heavy frog costume in Death Valley in May-June of 1987 even though they promised me a credit.

Hell Came To My T.V. Screen When I Watched This Movie!!!.......2005-07-24

Every now and then I find a very good 'B Grade" movie at my local video store. Sadly this is not one of them. This movie is set in a Barren (no relation to me!!!) Post Apocalyptic Wasteland where Human Fertility is treasured.Judge Judy is of the opinion that "any idiot can make a baby" and I am inclined to agree with her. Then our intrepid Hero named Sam Hell goes to Frogtown in the hope of impregnating lots of women.I did grow weary of all of the women admiring this guy for his "High Sperm Cell Count" as if that is something to be proud of.If this guy lived in modern Los Angeles he would be paying Child Support to 15 different women. I give this movie 5 stars because I kind of like the look of the Wasteland that is depicted in this movie.

Colder than a frog's butt..........2004-11-22

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.

Nothing is more amusing than a bad 80s flick........2004-09-01

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.

Five stars BECAUSE it's bad.......2004-08-10

This is one of those movies that you've gotta love because it's so awful. Bad costuming, low-budget special effects, terrible acting - what more could a film fan ask for? Great campy fun, and an absolute howler.

"You're in no shape to go toe to toe with some giant horny toad!".......2006-12-14

While I'm always up for a good spoof, I was hoping for a bit more from the film Frog-G-G! (2004), which did have its charms, but not to the point where I'd watch it again anytime soon. Written, directed, and produced by Cody Jarrett (Surfbroads, Sugar Boxx), the film stars Kristi Russell (Chasing Indigo, Surfbroads), an actress who doesn't seem to mind showing some skin (she's got a great rack), as it were, at least in terms of this film, which is the only feature I've ever seen her in...also appearing is Ariadne Shaffer (Beneath the Mississippi), Robert Patrick Brink (The Perfect Wife), Michael McConnohie, primarily known, it seems, for his voice over work on such video games as those in the Xenosaga series, and Mary Woronov (Rock 'n' Roll High School, Eating Raoul).

After a somewhat pointless opening picnic sequence (a kid finds a bowling ball sized tadpole in a nearby pond) we move into the opening credits to which we see two nekkid women getting it on...kind of, if you consider `getting it on' to consist of a whole lot of licking...turns out one of them is Dr. Barbara Michaels (Russell), while the other is her slightly butch girlfriend named Trixie (Shaffer). Seems Michaels, an agent for the EPA, has come to Jerkwater, U.S.A. to investigate complaints of polluted water, which I'm guessing is ultimately the cause of the ginormous tadpole we saw earlier. Her investigations eventually lead her to a nearby company called Grimes Chemicals, run by an overly hostile man named Huntley Grimes (McConnohie), who, in fact, is responsible given the fact he's been ordering some of his flunkie workers to bury toxic byproducts in a nearby field. Here are a few tips for those irresponsible manufacturers looking to skirt the laws by illegally dumping their manufacturing wastes...

1. Ensure your company's name isn't plastered across the 55-gallon drums in which the toxic waste to be illegally dumped is stored.
2. It's probably best not to have the guys hauling the toxic waste to be illegally dumped doing so in a company truck, with the company's name on the side.
3. It's probably best not to have the guys doing the dumping to be wearing t-shirts with the company name clearly printed on the front.

Anyway, as I mentioned, Michaels investigation eventually leads her to Grimes Chemical, but she soon hit a roadblock (figuratively speaking) as the local sheriff, a man named Buford Lawson (Brink), has ties to the chemical company owner. As a major health crisis begins to develop (some people are becoming ill from exposure), Michaels has her research stolen, but not before she manages to send off some samples to the home office for further tests. Eventually things get a whole lot goofy as frog man begins popping up around town, one who seems only interested in mating with female humans, and eventually things come to a head once the amphibious humanoid makes his appearance at a local high school football game, one the whole town is attending.

Now in watching this film, it was fairly obvious to me it was intended as a spoof of the low budget, schlocky creature features shown throughout the 1970s, so, given this, I'm guessing most of that which I'd normally consider bad here (the acting, the story, the dialogue) to be bad intentionally so...given that, my biggest gripe about the movie is that there isn't more of the frog creature in it...he doesn't appear until well into the story, and even then his appearances are limited. He does make a good showing in the last ten minutes but by then it felt like too little, too late. The frog suit isn't particularly convincing (it truly looks like a guy in a frog suit), but again, I think this was another aspect that was meant to come off as did, so I went with it. Another element of the production I though could have used a little work was the pacing. Director Jarrett seems more interested, at times, in filming the lesbian scenes than he did furthering the plot, although I can't blame him all that much as the women were attractive. There is some nekkidness but hardly any blood as there's only one scene where someone actually gets killed by the frog man (there's actually two frog related deaths in the film). The production values (except for the frog suit) are decent enough for an independent feature like this, so no complaints from me there. The funniest bit, for me at least, comes near the end as the frog man shows up at the local football game. While the game is being played the frog man appears on the field and clotheslines a receiver, which elicited the following response from one of the coaches...

"He's not on my team!"

It would have been funnier if the filmmakers had extended the scene slightly in showing a referee calling a foul on the play, but oh well. If you're checking this out mainly because you saw Mary Woronov's name prominently listed on the DVD case, known that she's only in the movie for about two minutes near the end, featured in a very small, bit part. It's annoying when filmmakers promote a recognizable name appearing in their films as being a much larger part of the production than they are (as was the case here), but it's a fairly common practice, especially in the world of low budget movies. All in all I thought this a somewhat entertaining film and a great effort, but it could have used a few more gags (especially if it was supposed to be a spoof), better pacing, and a lot more frog, in my humble opinion.

The DVD, released by a company called Vital Fluids Releasing, features a widescreen anamorphic (1.85:1) picture that looks very good and the Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo audio comes through cleanly. There are a couple of extras including a humorous trailer for the film made to look like public service announcement and a featurette entitled `Making of Frog-G-G!' which is comprised of interviews, deleted scenes, and behind the scenes footage. Also tossed in are a few previews for some independent features like Ball of Wax (2003), Ding-a-ling-Less (2001), and Horns and Halos (2002).

Giant Frogs, Football, And Mary Woronov As A Gynecologist.......2006-10-24

"Frog-g-g" is an intentional spoof of pre-CGI monster movies, and as such is a mixed bag. At times it takes itself a bit too seriously, but at others is intentionally campy. The plot is as old as cinema itself: evil business tycoon dumps toxic waste into the town water supply creating a strain of giant killer amphibians who need to spawn. What I am saying here is that the giant frog is extremely attracted to human women, which, naturally, leads him directly to the St. Mary's Catholic School For Girls. There is a corrupt Sheriff (the brother-in-law of the businessman, of course) and a romance subplot. In other words, it's exactly what you would expect from a silly guy-in-a-rubber-suit monster movie from the 1970s.

Sometimes the spoof works (normally when it is being more intentional) and sometimes it just drags. There is a lot of high school football shown (some might crassly call this padding) and eventually the frog man does invade the football game. I have a couple of favorite moments from the film, the first was in the opening credits: I knew I was in for a rough ride when I saw the credit "Music by The Glam Spice Generation." Although unable to top the music credit, I did enjoy that the frog killed a nun instead of procreating with her. When asked to explain this unusual behavior, our heroine, EPA super agent Barbara Michaels, says that "he probably sensed a low estrogen level."

There were also some things that I did not like about the film, notably the inability to fast forward through the previews, and the frog-human hybridoma birth at the end of the film, which was both predictable and unnecessary. It did feature scream-queen Mary Woronov as a gynecologist delivering the little biology experiment, which was a bit of a B-movie coup for the production. In another unexpected touch of "class," there is a short on the making of "Frog-g-g" as well, something not frequently seen in this league.

The film is somewhat entertaining on a camp level. I would recommend it more highly if it were more focused as either a humor or satire piece, and if it did not feature a giant frog breakdancing during the closing credits.

This film Croaked!.......2006-08-15

This film has parallels with "Humanoids from the Deep" insofar as they both concern the attack of mutant creatures on a bevvy of beauties in a small USA town.

This film has the feel of a smaller budget (Humanoids actually had some 'name' actors in it). Further, there's only one creature in this film, and his costume looks so much like a man in green rubber (by comparison, the low-grade costumes in Humanoids look more believable).

Even when he 'mates' with a human its less explicit than Humanoids, he only thrusts into the air over one woman.

Given that this film is made more recently, you'd expect some improvement over the 'big-hair' 80s feel of Humanoids. But this film is the lesser brother.

A New Drive-In Feature.......2006-06-29

An EPA agent has been investigating reports of toxic dumping in a small rural community. While investigating, she develops a relationship with the local barmaid. But other than the barmaid, the agent is not well received. She is seen as a trouble maker and someone looking into nothing. But there is something worth looking into.

Toxic waste has caused mutations in local animal life, especially in the form of a man-sized frog. This frog has a biological imperative to breed with human women. It takes awhile, but eventually some of the locals begin to take the trouble seriously and plans are made to put an end to the problem.

Conceived as a new drive-in movie, this film makes no use of CGI effects or other high-tech effects. The monster is a man in a rubber suit (albeit a better rubber suit than in most movies). The cast and plotting are familiar for the genre although some of the acting is better than usual. This is especially true with the "frog" who does an excellent job of being a frog (you have just got to see it). The lesbian love scenes are not the norm but do not detract from the feel. Fans may be disappointed to discover that Mary Waranov only appears in the final minutes in a very minor role. All in all this is a wonderful tribute to those memorable drive-in monster movies. Check it out.

Ribbit.......2006-06-25

Overall a good movie if one is in the mood for it. Some reviewers have complained about the lack of action, obviously they have never watched a 70s drive-in movie which Frog-g-g is honoring/spoofing. The dialogue is part of the joke, dialogue is cheap compared to action scenes, and more nudity would also be beyond a typical 70s drive-in.

I picked this up, expecting it to be a standard direct-to-video junkie. But, surprisingly, it wasn't too bad. For one thing, the special effects were excellent, the monsters were awesome, and it had some good twists, but poor acting and a silly plot hammer it.

an over-glorified student gore flick.......2003-11-26

It's another bout of aliens chasing pinhead humans through some high-tech ultra-secret lab (if you ever caught "X-Tro2" or "Resident Evil" you know what I'm talking about). The alien is actually a morphed human - a schmo scientist infected when he's bitten by an alien specimen. Just to give you an idea of the flick's many lapses in reason - the guy is experimenting on a nasty looking alien looking like a pair of jaws with a body wrapped around it. When he accidentally drives the creature into a rage, it bites him severely. Now the alien looks pretty dangerous, so the scientist uses a glove-box...which proves nowhere near sufficient to keep him safe. (You call yourself a scientist?!). The flick starts off looking pretty scary because it sounds scary - heavy breathing makes you think that something is always about to pop-out. Eventually, the metamorphosis is complete, and the scientist turns into something huge and loud (but not so huge that it can't navigate the lab's narrow hallways, or so loud that it won't warn away its prey). Although this is a bio-chemical lab, there's some nuclear proton thingee kept in a room big enough to let the alien thingee in. Also, despite the hazards involved, the sole support our heroes can rely on is a dim-witted security guard who's armed with the world's only nine-shot revolver. Weak FX, dumb lines (and not in the fun way) and dim characters make this a movie you want to fast-forward through - only to confront a dumb ending. Is it so hard to make a flick that's funny or that can at least poke fun at itself in the "Basket Case" or "Evil Dead" mold.

little suspence, good effects........2002-12-04

Like "The fly" and "aliens", the special FX in this are exellent.
their is obviously alot of time and Creativity put into the FX.
But, the script, and the actinng, on the other hand, are not that good, witch make it feel a bit fun to watch. If you have an hour or so to kill, give this one a try, or, rent one of the other bigger budget movies that managed to do it with more money and alot more intrest. Worth a look, i guess..............

A genetic worker is bitten by a frog-like alien and is slowly mutated into a blood thirsty terror that is stalking the talos corperation. daughter (Tara Leigh)of one of the security guards slaughtered by the monster is chased by it and it seems too powerful to be stoped........

this is one of my favriote Ted Bohus
(producer of the deadly spawn, the renigaded man, and owner of SPFX magazine!) films!!!!!!!!!!!
although the acting and story is not great, the monsters are!!!!! a must see...............

gory sci-fi !!.......2002-11-13

rented this movie from a local video libary out of sheer curosity and found a entertaining movie that met my expectations perfectly;Bad acting, exellent special effects, and a
so-so story. A genetic researcher is bitten by a monster in a lab and he turns into a rampaging monstrosity that eats every one in sight. this film went on to win numerous awards such as
the Houston film festavle award for best Special effects.

I Want A Beer And A Side Of Flies..........2006-11-01

"Return to Frogtown" is a sequel about frogs once again trying to conquer the world. I give it three stars for camp value (it is far better than the subsequent "Toad Warrior.") This film follows the adventures of the "Texas Rocket Rangers" and their attempt to quell discipline problems in Frogtown. Right off the bat Ranger John Jones (Lou Ferrigno,) gets captured by the frogs and is given frog serum to start the transformation process by a weasely scientist, Professor Tanzer, who reminded me of Carrot Top, though without the charm, intellect, or eloquence. More Rangers are dispatched including Robert Z'Dar (whose chin is truly of epic proportions) and "Dr. Spangle," who gets to partially undress and dance for Czar Frogmeister (who sits under an old fashioned hairdryer with a vacuum cleaner hose protrusion, in an ultra cheap Darth Vader knockoff) in a scene of truly disturbing proportions.

Along the way the plot evolves to have many subcomponents. I greatly enjoy the crabby Chief Ranger "Captain Delano" (Charles Napier, a character actor everyone will recognize,) a computer named "F.U.Z.Z.Y." which is an automated bleached blonde (the acronym is never revealed, unless I was dozing,) a disco scene featuring the dialogue that makes up my title for the review, and a rapping frog band ("I'm mean, I'm green....") For sheer disturbing, though, nothing can rival the least appealing love scene in movie history in which Robert Z'Dar romances a frog.

Ironically Ferrigno turns a beautiful shade of Hulk green and gets strong enough to break the bars of his jail cell in yet another throwback to earlier works in the genre. The film features dune buggy races, and the lamest rocket backpacks since Commando Cody ("The King of the Rocketmen") took to the screen decades ago. The helmet of the suit is about the silliest thing I have ever seen, and makes whoever is wearing it look like a flying Duck Billed Platypus. Ultimately the film ends in a long shootout, the mystery of Czar Frogmeister is revealed (it is even dumber than you expect,) and the Rangers get a very annoying apprentice which foreshadows the screen presence of "Rollergator."

The film is (obviously) not well made, but unlike many other films in the genre it has a combination of bizarre quirkiness and high camp value that make it enjoyable to the connoisseur of trash cinema.

Not as good as the first, but still kind of fun.......2003-10-14

Fans of Hell Comes to Frogtown will be a little disappointed in this one. Sam Hell is back, but this time he is not played by Roddy Piper, but by the amazingly jawed Robert Z'Dar.

Sam is now a member of the Texas Rocket Rangers (guys with jet packs and really silly helmets). He has been assigned to find a missing ranger who was shot down. The missing ranger is played by Lou Ferigno (of Hulk fame) and in this move he still turns green.

Sam and his partner must rescue the ranger and make sure Frogtown does not learn how the jet pack works. The also run into a crazy scientist (Brion James) and the new local warlord and Commander Toady.

The plot is silly and the world seems to bear little resemblance to the first (the men seem to be back in charge). Sam also has a tendency to be knocked out by the slightest of hits. This movie is action oriented and forgoes the sex and nudity of the first.
