Hell Comes To Frogtown, 1987

STARRING: 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper (Sam Hell)

Popular WWF wrestler turned actor. Piper went on to star in the excellent John Carpenter movie They Live and an assortment of b-movies.

Sandahl Bergman (Spangle)

Best known as Conan's girlfriend in Conan The Barbarian, and evil queen Gedren in Red Sonja. Bergman went on to be a popular b-movie actress throughout the 80's and 90's appearing in movies such as The Sorceress 2, but sadly seems to have retired.

PLOT: Criminal Sam Hell (Piper) has a rare gift, he is one of the only men left in the world who can still reproduce. In exchange for a pardon he must help Sergeant Spangle rescue and impregnate a group of young women who are being held prisoner by an evil mutant, the frog-like Toty.


Some mild sex scenes, not much violence, some language. 15/R.


THOUGHTS: One of New World's best pictures IMO. Great re-watch potential. Piper and Bergman make a great duo and it's a shame they didn't return for the sequel. The mutants looks great and it has an entertaining script with lots of funny and memorable scenes.

CAN I BUY IT?: DVD (Region 1).
