Details

'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.

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- 1988, This movie premise is that the world was destroyed in a nuclear war many years ago. Now the human race has been almost wiped out and common frogs have mutated into intelligent, bipedal creatures. The human race has been sterilized by the war radiation, and human women outnumber men. Fertile women are a very rare, but fertile men are even rarer. Roddy Piper is an opportunist drifter. This Roddy 'Sam Hell' Piper has apparently left a string of pregnancies behind him. After being captured, he's taken to the evil 'Med-tech' labs where the female staff then forces him into servicing female candidates. Either, he signs a contract to "work" for them fertilizing women, or he has to go back and face the wrath of the evil frogs beings. The Med-tech women put a steel jock strap on him to protect their property. The strap front plate says, "Property of Provisional Government". But, the evil frog people beings have raided a border town and stolen many rare fertile women. It's up to Sam Hell and two Med-tech staff women to get them out of 'Frogtown' and be fertilized for humanity sake.*Special Stars- Roddy Piper, William Smith *Theme- Some men are healthy and potent, but most are not intelligent enough to re-populate the human race without a resistance group.*Based on- The 'Planet of the Apes' genre films and adult porn video plots *Trivia/location/goofs- The filming location was the Frontier Town and surroundings in the old Paramount Ranch area near Agoura Hills. The 'best of the worst' are the ridiculous inhabitants of Frogtown, who look like rejects from Planet of the Apes film make-up dept. Their costumes are surprisingly good, except when they try to speak. Then they are revealed for the cheap on-sale plastic masks that don't work well.*Emotion- This film is somewhat forgettable. This movie goes through all the many standard action/science fiction/adventure film plot gimmicks, and Piper boringly muddles his way through his part. The performers look like they never really care about their work on screen. There are a few genuinely funny scenes where Piper discovers the special properties of his new chastity belt underwear. The senior older Med-tech staff woman tries to excite Piper to copulate with a recaptured fertile younger woman. No Viagra pills needed here! There is nothing really outstandingly bad about this movie -- its more a culmination of all the gross mediocrity provided by the name star cast 'slumming' here that makes this movie bad. However, this film might be quite entertaining and enjoyed by some bad movie lovers. You make the call. It did not for me.
iowastate-1 Sandahl Bergman and Rory Calhoun are always enjoyable and as expected the only tolerable actors in a movie that is both forgettable and memorable.Forgettable for the bad costuming and horrible acting and memorable for the same reasons.The acting is so inefficient on most parts it is fun to watch and the costumes in many cases are so silly it they are downright funny.Sandahl and Rowdy Roddy do have a few moments between them that are good. Piper had his moments and with a little more practice may have become a decent actor with movies like this it is hard not to lol with the audience.If you want to see some tender human frog moments this is a must see...not really there are not any tender moments of any kind but a few parodies of such.in fact the entire show (intentional or not) turned out to be show that is a parody of a movie. And something of a campfest that reminds us why we like to watch bad movies.
laserbradley23 Pretty solid movie for it's time. I think it was a little silly at times, the special effects for the time were probably decent, but the fact is it was entertaining.Roddy Piper as the last potent man, awesome. In terms of post apocalyptic movies, I would say this is an underrated flick. I would recommend to sci-fi fans....but don't come in to watching this thinking you've found a diamond in the rough.You could most certainly find a better movie to eat up your time but if you're looking for some thoughtless fun this one might be the right one for the moment.Just a decent movie overall. 6 / 10
gridoon "Hell Comes to Frogtown" seems to have many of the necessary ingredients to become a genuine cult classic, but the execution is uninspired and the film is not NEARLY as much schlocky fun as it could have been. The main problem is the pacing, which is, in a word, deadening: there are long stretches of nothing happening. In a movie like this, the No 1 thing you want to see is "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Sandahl Bergman kick a lot of mutant frog butt. They do, but to a much lesser degree than you might expect (even after Piper enters a room holding two shotguns and yells "Eat lead, froggies!"). It doesn't help that large portions of the film seem to have been filmed in a small, dusty warehouse. But Piper is likable enough, Sandahl Bergman and Cec Verrell are 2 strong & sexy women, and the "frog effects" are acceptable, so I'm giving this a higher rating than it probably deserves: ** out of 4 stars.
