Who Here Has Seen Troll 2?

It's almost a latter-day direct-to-video Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Take it to I Love Film....only kidding;- )

Holy shit, this movie is amazing/terrible.

lol @ the pop/corn lovemaking scene

This was pretty much the funniest bad movie I've ever seen, alongside Inframan. Much better than Plan 9 From Outer Space, which is often just boring. So many great scenes, besides the popcorn one my favourite was "You don't piss on hospitality!", and basically any scene involving the wicked witch. I don't think I've ever seen anyone over-act so much in a movie, whoever played her should get a prize or something.

I think one of the silliest things about Troll 2 was the weird anti-vegetarian vibe permeating it. The goblins are veggie cannibals who eat humans only after they've turned them into plants, and in the finale the kid defeats the goblins by threatening them with a sausage! I didn't expect that.

Also, you gotta love a movie called "Troll 2" that doesn't have anything to do with the first Troll movie, and in fact doesn't have any trolls in it at all.

I saw this when I was like thirteen or fourteen. It was on Cable one late night. Totally ridiculous flick.

Just to be clear - this isn't directed by the late, great Joe D'Amato is it? According to imdb it's one Claudio Fragasso, the genius behind Zombie Creeping Flesh and Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 (and, for the record, 3).

I thought the first Troll was awesome, but everyone raves bout this one. Still need to check Lawnmower Man 2 off my list, too. I gotta quit dreamin and get to livin.

you need to quit dreamin' and get to Nilbog

This is going on our house Fatso Queue Recommendation List in capital letters.

it's hard to pick a favorite part of this movie, but i still like the opening sequence with the girl who has freckles that are obviously eyebrow pencil and the weird super fake fairy tale vibe.

i think a logical pairing of this movie (aside from the original troll) would be "the gnomemobile", which was a live-action disney film about a dire shortage of gnome women. also it is a musical.

i saw first saw this a few years ago without any idea of what i was in for. my ex-girlfriend is a sincere fan of troll 1, and we got that dvd twofer that has them both. it's so terrible, yet in a really watchable and non-boring way.

that looks pretty excellent! hope some smart company buys the troll 2 rights and releases 'em in some sort of grindhouse-style doublepack

Oh shit is that the Troll 2 documentary? My friend has been raaaaaaaaaving about this for ages since she saw it in Philly (I think?) last year.

acoulethic I take it you have not seen Troll 2

even the normally conscience-free moguls who release DVDs have their standards & IIRC the standard in question is called "The Troll 2 Demarcation"

worst robert ludlum adaptation yet

I watched Troll 2 with a friend who is not accustomed to watching very very bad movies and he was blown away by how bad it was.

I was like "eh I've seen worse"

seriously, i've said it before and will say it again, but on every conceivable level i cannot imagine a worse movie than 'the hottie and the nottie'

Haven't seen that, but I imagine that it has things like "scenes" and something like a "plot" and maybe "dialogue", which would put it a level up from something like "Werewolves on Wheels", for example.

it has those things, but in the worst possible way. sometimes a little knowledge is far, far worse than no knowledge at all

True

i just watched TROLL (I) and this was the best scene

Troll 1 is genuinely enjoyable IMO. Love all the rubbery miserable-looking half-born creatures and the Omen-ripoff choral score by Richard Band.

Like many, I only saw Troll 2 because of the 2-fer DVD. The hilarious bits make it worth sitting through, but one should not overlook how deadly boring it is for long stretches. Sex scene in the mobile home is some next-level shit.

My personal go-to when I'm in the mood for a glorious failure is The Yin And The Yang Of Mr. Go.

are you confusing troll 1 and troll 2?

I don't think so, Troll 2 is definitely the one with the ridiculous mobile home sex scene.

oh wait, i was mixing up troll 1 and troll 2.

apparently i need to re-screen the troll duology

It's a trilogy. Troll 3 is out there.

I love the teen daughter's dance routine

the Truly Appalling Film that doesn't seem to get enough love is Beware the Blob. That thing is fucking incredible.

^^^ will look out for it.

Saw BEST WORST MOVIE/TROLL 2 double feature last night in Chicago. Even though I've seen Troll 2 multiple times and have the DVD, it was almost better after seeing BWM. Most illuminating were the parts with Claudio, the director and the Italian lady who wrote the movie. They were surprisingly committed to the idea that this was a good movie about evil vegetarians.

Anyone else seen BWM? I regret not painting freckles on for the screening. Next time. Also: Met George Hardy and he complimented my dress.

Oh! And I got George Hardy to sign my TROLL 2 VHS too.

I decided that my favorite part/recurring theme is Grandpa Seth and his floating head.

BWM is pretty fun but i'd preferred to see more of the director and the story behind the film and less movie geeks talking about how cool it is

agreed -- that was the part i could have lived without -- the various troll 2 parties, etc. i think they wanted to play up the rabid fanbase angle more than they wanted to talk about the actual movie. i still enjoyed it though.

It's awesome Michael Stephenson is trying to cash in on the cult hit he was in but I'm not sure it would be necessary to see the 'rabid fanbase', and certainly no more than simply watching Troll 2 again or especially showing it to a friend who's never seen it. I've met very few people who have seen Troll 2 and I'm not sure the best introduction to the film is something called "Best Worst Movie" with shots of people laughing at it and describing the worst scenes. Kinda takes the fun out of personally discovering just how bad this movie is.

The corncob sex scene is rad. I made a youtube video with clips from the TV bit he's watching before it starts....

lol @ george hardy in BWM btw

BWM is certainly not the best introduction to the movie, but it's enjoyable if you have already seen T2 a bunch of times

Just watched BWM. Pretty cool. I like how everyone is obviously pretty nutty, sort of reminds me of that Twin Peaks documentary on the DVD box set in that regard. I really enjoyed the General Store owner who was actually insane during the making of the movie. I really want to read more of his writings. Wow!

Love when he is showing his large stuffed animals and says "These are my people. If they were to run for office I'd vote for them."

My local theater screened BWM and a 35mm print of Troll 2 as a double bill, and George Hardy came in person! He is a real genuine dude, very sweet and friendly, took lots of Q&A, hung out with film-goers and signed anything. He had actually flown up from Alabama to Ottawa (Canada) the day of the screening, such was his....enthusiasm? devotion? to the cult following. An excuse to take a break from dentistry I suppose.

haha he did the same thing in Chicago
dude is really enthusiastic

Troll 2 is maybe the funniest terrible movie ive ever seen, to the point where it is kinda un-MST3Kable, its sorta humor self sufficient. BWM doc was also a ton of fun, but def dont watch it until after you see T2. Extras are mostly A#1 as well, esp the stuff w/the director and the dude who played the shopkeeper, who deserves a documentary of his own really.

I really like when one kid first sees the trolsl and has the most un-shocked reaction
He is just like "what are those?"

They're not trolls, they're goblins.

that makes it even better

I love how no one thinks corn on the cob with green frosting is a bit odd -
