Troll 2 / movie #47 (A+)

Right off the bat I get a similar feeling as the scene where Fred Savage was being told a story by Peter Falk in Princess Bride...directly followed by eating green goo like in Bad Taste!  Beauty beginning!!  So, I'm going to do a semi-play by play on this one, instead of the end of movie recap...I will try not to give away the awesome plot as I go along.

Mmmmmm....green icing!  This little kid, who looks 17, has been freaking out for the first 19 minutes of the movie so far, and he gets a warning in the form of a death threat on a softball (written in green icing no doubt) and he tosses it aside like it was nothing.

I think I just found my favorite line of the movie..."you can't piss on hospitality...I WON'T ALLOW IT".   Holy crap, that was AWESOME!

Is that the church from In the Mouth of Madness?  Also, what is up with the one Troll that doesn't have black sunken in eyes, instead, the eyes are totally sticking out and very fake looking?  I don't like that one, it's much creepier to have the eyes be dark and sunken.  I'll write the director and let him know about this.

"I can't move, why?"...."Why can't I move, there must be a logical reason"....."OH MY GOOOOOOOD!!!!!"  Totally classic!!

Immediate cut to girl doing flashdance while wearing Garfield shirt.  Huh?

Another fancy item to note, they call the beasts "Goblins" throughout the movie - yet the movie itself is called "Troll 2".  Must be on purpose.

Another good line, "There's no coffee here in Nilbog, that's the devil's drink!"

Great out of mirror, hack off hand, back through mirror scene!

Cop says, "There's sandwiches for tonight in here.  It would go easier if you eat 'em.  You'll make our work easier, otherwise we'd be forced to kill you VIOLENTLY!"

baloney sandwich, another softball...The End.  Totally worth watching if you like campy B-rated movies.  I would recommend this for that reason.


Just corrected this rating.  My bad.

If you like this piece I recommend The Gate with a young Steven Dorff (the dude from Blade). The creatures are tiny claymation things but they move real fast in an evil way. Plus seeing teenagers in vintage 80's glory is awesome. Its really cheesy, but maybe not as shitty as Troll 2

Best part of this piece is the dialogue. So awkward. Also you can see them reading the cue cards when they forget their lines. Ha!

There are fun claymation dudes in Subspecies and I think also possibly in Puppetmaster. Did I ever review Puppetmaster? I think I saw it this year.

Anyway, if you liked Troll 2, you'll like it even more once you see the best worst movie. Have you seen the best worst movie? I think you need to watch it then see Troll 2 again, and then see the best worst movie again. And then repeat.
