Good grief, Andrew....how do you do it? So,Frogtown had a sequal...well, why not, every other piece of crap Hollywood produces seems to...except Titanic, and who knows about that!?........Frogs are a common animal theme in B-pictures. FROGS. HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN. Humm...any other major Frog related involvments? Oh, CANE TOAD BLUES counts...what else?

Last night I watched http://us.imdb.com/Title?0110851>" Plughead Rewired: Circuitry Man II ", a sequel to Circuitry Man.  Both are fairly decent sci-fi fair.  I enjoyed them.  However, I was suprised there was a sequel.   Or as my wife said, "they made a sequeal to that?"



Some movies are just cheap enough or 'B' enough that, while you do enjoy watching them, you really don't envision anyone ponying up money for another round

Actually, as I peruse IMDB, these are the only two movies credited to the team of Robert and Steven Lovy.

Considering the two both wrote and directed both movies, and *nothing* else, I'm very impressed with the quality of the production, the acting, and the writing

1953's The Maze is a Dark Old House sort of picture.  The big ending is that we learn that, due to imbreeding or something, the featured Scottish Castle houses an ancestor of the hero who is, more or less, an immortal giant frog.   (!)  The oddest thing is that, astoundingly weird twist ending aside, it's not a bad little movie.

Tolkein did the same thing with Gollum and Frodo

"The Magic Serpent" has a giant frog battling a dragon.  Kind of.

There's the Muppet Movies, of course.

I keep thinking Gamera fought a frog or two in his time, but that can't be right.

You know, with all the other Giant Monster Movies of the fifties and sixties, you would have thought at least one of them would have a giant frog in it.  We have super sized sheep, gargantuan grasshoppers, and jumbo jellyfish, but no formidable frogs or titanic toads.  What's up with that?

   I have nothing useful or relevant to add except to ask:

    Who let the frogs out?

     Thank you, and good night...

"Croak". Works for me. The idea of a huge, slimy tongue zipping out of the dark swamp to pull people to their doom kind of scary. A speedy attack, plus the wart factor could make for a pretty intresting monster. FROGS. MOSQUITOS. SNAKES. ALLIGATOR. TICKS. REDNECK ZOMBIES......do you reaslise almost every aspect of Swamp Life has been used in a monster movie, except Jeff Corwin...oh, sorry...forgot.
