EDITOR’S NOTE: Frogtown II was on USA Up All Night on October 18, 1996 and August 30, 1997.

Directed and written by Donald G. Jackson, this is the sequel — one of many that he made — to Hell Comes to Frogtown. This doesn’t have the low budget of the first one. It’s even lower. It also replaces Roddy Piper with Robert Z’Dar.

Captain Delano (Charles Napier) sends Sam Hell Frog Town to rescue Texas Rocket Ranger John Jones (Lou Ferrigno), who can transform into a frog person, just like he’s back on CBS, due to operations from Professor Tanzer (Brion James) and Nurse Cloris (Linda Singer), who are being forced to do this by Czar Frogmeister.

Dr. Spangle (Denice Duff) is back as well, but I miss Sandahl Bergman. Working with Brandy Stone (Don Stroud), she and Sam Hell have to rescue Jones before the Texas Rocket Rangers are destroyed. USA Up All Night fans will be happy to see Ehonda Sheer in this as Fuzzy, the communicator for the good guys.

Somehow, this feels way longer than it is, and I can’t even think of how much slower it was when it had late-night commercials. But hey — mutant frogs against the chin of Z’Dar. You can do worse.

You can watch this on YouTube.
