Return to Frogtown (also known as Frogtown II) is a 1993 B movie directed by Donald G. Jackson.[1] It is the sequel to the 1988 cult film Hell Comes to Frogtown. Like its predecessor, the film is set in a post-apocalyptic future where mutant frog-people are at war with mankind.
Plot[edit]
Set some years after the events of the first movie, Captain Delano (Charles Napier) sends Sam Hell to infiltrate Frog Town again to rescue Texas Rocket Ranger John Jones (played by Lou Ferrigno) who crash landed. In what may be a direct reference to his Incredible Hulk fame, Jones is an unwilling test subject who is modified and turned into a frog-person, giving him superhuman strength.[2] The tests are conducted by Professor Tanzer (Brion James) and Nurse Cloris (Linda Singer).
This is part of a larger plot by the Evil Star Frogmeister to turn all humans into frogmen. Hell must journey to the Frogtown Mutant Reservation in a desperate attempt to stop the planned mutation.
