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.

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Uriah43 After a nuclear war has decimated the world creating mutants resembling frogs and left a large percentage of women and all but one man sterile, an organization known as "Med Tech" decides to capture that one specific man named "Sam Hell" (Roddy Piper) who is a criminal operating in the badlands. When they capture him they force him to sign a contract which requires him to travel to "Frogtown" and help rescue several fertile young women who have been taken hostage by the mutant leader known as "Commander Toty" (Brian Frank). Another part of his contract stipulates that once these females are rescued he is required to impregnate them. And to prevent his escape he has a device filled with plastic explosive attached to his groin area. Likewise, escorting him are two soldiers for Med Tech named "Spangle" (Sandahl Bergman) and "Centinella" (Cec Verrell). At any rate, rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that, even though this movie was built around a rather preposterous premise, if a person can make certain allowances then they might manage to obtain some enjoyment from it all the same. On that note I dare say that a person hasn't really lived until they have seen "the dance of the three snakes". Be that as it may I rate this movie as about average.
tomgillespie2002 In one of his first feature film appearances, former wrestler Roddy Piper plays Sam Hell, a highly fertile man in a post-apocalyptic world that has rendered most of its adult population infertile due to a devastating nuclear war. This being the late 1980's, and with Hell Comes To Frogtown being unashamedly B-movie ridiculousness, every long-legged female character wants to jump his bones, and do so wearing not very much at all. It is misogynistic, very, very silly (which I'm sure one would assume from the title) and Piper won't be receiving any Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Academy, but it is occasionally a lot of fun, and features one of most memorable titles in the B-movie canon.With male population numbers heavily reduced due to nuclear war, women now rule the Earth. After a group of warrior-nurses led by the bespectacled Spangle (Sandahl Bergman) capture nomad Sam Hell, they see their chance to do their part in helping re-populate the Earth due to Sam's high fertility rate. But when a group of fertile women are captured by a gang of rapey amphibian mutants who have been affected by the radiation, Sam is employed as a mercenary along with the tough-but- sexy Centinella (Cec Verrell) to enter a place known as 'Frogtown' in order to steal them back.Somehow, Hell Comes To Frogtown has managed to spawn three sequels, the latest being made in 2002. The years have made the film a cult favourite, and admittedly, for all it's many flaws and amateur direction, the idea of women piecing together the remnants of civilisation is quite an intriguing one. Of course, the plot isn't really why you would watch a film involving rubber-suited monsters and scantily-clad women, and ultimately, Frogtown suffers from long moments of tedium that plague low-budget films of its ilk. But there are still moments to enjoy in the 90 minutes of endless gun-fights and goofy Roddy Piper quotes, namely in Piper's obvious amusement at the film he is starring in. Best enjoyed with beer in hand.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com
SmakethDown638 I was first introduced to this movie by my dad after watching They Live. He told me that Hell Comes to Frogtown was another good Piper movie. Boy was he right! This movie had magic to it. I mean, any dude would love to have the task of trying to impregnate fertile women in order to re-populate humankind right? Hot Rod was great in his role as Sam Hell. It was entertaining with good humor and when the fighting occurs, it pays things off nicely. Well written script makes for a fun b-movie. To quote Roddy Piper in what was his final Piper's Pit in 1987 (of course he'd be back in 89): "When I was well I was hell man." He sure did well as Sam Hell in this one!
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
