Hell Comes to Frogtown

R 5.5
1988 1 hr 28 min Action , Comedy , Science Fiction

'Hell' is the name of the hero of the story. He's a prisoner of the women who now run the USA after a nuclear/biological war. Results of the war are that mutants have evolved, and the human race is in danger of extinction due to infertility. Hell is given the task of helping in the rescue of a group of fertile women from the harem of the mutant leader (resembling a frog). Hell cannot escape since he has a bomb attached to his private parts which will detonate if he strays more than a few hundred yards from his guard.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Hell Comes to Frogtown is a film that many might label as a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie trying to capitalise on the success of Mad Max. However, many ideas in this film were subsequently ripped off in Mad Max Fury Road!You have the whole Handmaiden's Tale idea of women being used as slaves to breed. Not to mention there's a character who has a striking resemblance to Chalize Theoron's Furiosa!Roddy Piper (They Live) plays Sam Hell who's captured by the government and must rescue their female slaves from a mutant frog gang. While this isn't a great film, it does have a good sense of humour and has a b-movie charm.

After watching Roddy Piper in "They Live!", I might as well have a watched this movie! It was kinda similar in a way, the frogs did represent an alien type of species. I was actually disappointed that he didn't use those big-ass guns until the very end! He would've acted better than always a prisoner throughout! Sandahl Bergman looked absolutely stunning as her character Spangle. She reminded me of a blond Princess Leia when she pretended to be a slave in order to save the world from Frogtown. I thought herself and Roddy Piper's character relationship throughout, really blossomed from start to finish. They looked to be a good couple because they really fit well together!I think this is the most cheesiest action film I've ever seen in a while! Especially with some sex scene's and references!

The story: Roddy Piper is the last sexually potent man on earth and the now female-dominated military has to drive him into a post-holocaust wasteland to impregnate fertile women. Really. Not making this up.There is actually a halfway decent B-movie script here. Unfortunately the 'actors' in this movie don't do it justice with their mostly amateurish performances. Cec Verrell is spot on as a bad girl soldier, but Sandahl Bergman is a better dancer than an actress and rassler Roddy Piper is from the bargain basement of action stars. Also, the budget for vehicles and stunt drivers must have been very low, resulting in some not very exciting two vehicle or one-vehicle-chasing-a-pedestrian (!) chase scenes. Road Warrior this isn't. Some pretty good makeup effects were employed, and so the denizens of Frogtown look pretty good, and there are some genuine laughs in the dialogue. But low expectations are a must for anyone looking for a good time here.

One of the coolest B-Movies ever made, Hell Comes to Frogtown should be on the list of any post-apocalyptic movie fan.No, this movie has nothing to do with France, shame on you for thinking that. Frogtown is about Sam Hell, played by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, who is a super virile man in a post-apocalyptic world where women rule, mutant frog people terrorize the wasteland and fertile men are like gold.The Fantastic Sandahl Bergman, of Conan The Barbarian fame, plays a special agent assigned to keep Sam Hell and his family jewels safe as he ventures to Frogtown, a city ruled by the frog people in order to save a group of extremely fertile women from the frogs ruler and his right hand...frog Commander Toty.This movie pacts humor, action, sexy women and sometimes sexy frog women all into one enjoyable film. It's worth it to see "Rowdy" Roddy Piper kick frog butt while traveling around in a pink armored car. This movie is for any action movie fan who has a wacky side.
