This 1972 film from director Phil Carlson, who would go on to do "Walking Tall" the next year, does have the virtue of coming up with a different boy-rat relationship. Poor Lee has a heart condition so there is actually some pathos to his relationship with Ben, whereas Willard lost our sympathy once he had his rats starting eating people. The rat attacks a little more creative, but the end result is somehow less effective that the pure gross-out of the original. If you can find both of them, then this is an obvious double-feature, and with the remake of "Willard" coming out soon I would have to think there will be cheap copies of both films readily available again. I am sure the new film will use awesom CGI effects for all those rats, but there is something to be said for the good old days of rat wranglers.

The story centers around the puppets being threatened by a demon from hell, while at the same time a corporation wants to get their hands on them. After being tracked by both enemies, the puppets stage an all out fight to finish at the film's climax. Corporate morons are terrified, cute girls get their clothes ripped, and lesser character meet their demise while rubbing themselves with dolls. A new puppet is introduced as well, and it cheesily helps the other puppets fight the evil forces that have risen against them. As usual with most Full Mooners, the special effects are low made-for-tv quality, with a campy, disconnected 1980's feel. The puppets are mostly stop-motion animated. The whole movie looks as if it were filmed in shadowed twilight (and no, it doesn't create a high scare factor). None of the bad guys are especailly threatening; not even the bloated hell beast that is dead set on getting the puppets. The thing looks like Spawn suffering from radiation sickness. The sountrack is not bad, but it's nothing special. Speaking of sounds, one of the few unerving things about this movie is the gooney, deranged laugh of the six-armed cowboy doll. Even more anoying is the screaming mutant beaver the demon creates to battle the puppets. I found the acting in this film to be pretty much the usual for the Puppet Master films. The script is a corny mess, and the actors' over-the-top delivery of lines reflect what they had to work with rather than their acutal talents. In short, nothing changes in these movies. If you seen one, you've seen them all.
This movie is the same as Puppet Master 4.Toulon's Puppets battle the killer Totems.

i still can describe it any longer if you like. the sad thing is, all that scene was lost in this video. i dont know if there any other version distributed in u.s, but the one i saw in vhs bought by friend from amazon seller last year was diferent from the one we had seen in 1986. the updated one has no rape scene at all, not even single scene. even the scene to show the woman walking then undress herself frontally was missing. ... i can not say this is good. but considering as the first which give me scene of rape,muder,and revenge, i rate this 4

There's something about this film that captured my attention when I saw it for the first time on cable TV about ten years ago. It just has a "1967" look to it which I like. Despite a somewhat weak script and slow-moving plot, the location photography is stunning, with some great action sequences (especially near the film's finale). THE LAST SAFARI also boasts a fine musical score. Performed by John Dankworth, the title theme is reminiscent of the recordings of Bert Kaempfert. I never tire of listening to it! One of this film's other assets is Kaz Garas' performance. He provides an entertaining gadfly in the form of Casey, whom Gilchrist sees as the embodiment of all that is wrong with the over-commercialization of the contemporary African safari industry (in 1967, no less). Gabriela Licudi makes a fine foil for Casey in the form of Grant, a girlfriend who grudgingly accompanies Casey as he continually chases after Gilchrist. If you enjoy movies set in Africa, especially ones produced in the 1960s, I highly recommend THE LAST SAFARI. All in all, I think it offers a highly entertaining blend of action, scenery, music and performances. It is a highly underrated movie which ought to be released on DVD - in letterbox format (hopefully, someone at Paramount is reading this...). BTW, if you find this movie enjoyable, you might also want to check out 1964's RHINO!, which featured a young Robert Culp.

As was the case in the original, two troublesome kids decide to go swimming at a government test site and end up "fish food". Enter Alexandra Paul as a very butch-looking P.I. who is hired by one of the kids' legal guardians who also happens to be the owner of a new resort that is opening up. With the help of overacting hillbilly hermit, William Katt, she ends up at the test site and drains the pool causing the piranha to run amok in the local river system. Of course, the greedy resort owner isn't going to let something like giant man-eating killer fish ruin his plans to open his resort. This new "Piranha" offers very little added value aside from possibly a little bit more gore and nudity but not even enough to really make it worth your while. Of course, we get to see a grown-up "Punky Brewster" as Soleil Moon Frye shows up as a summer camp counselor with Mila Kunis (many years before she broke out on "That 70's Show") as Katt's hydrophobic daughter. Alex Simon's screenplay should barely qualify as a "studio rewrite" as it is practically a word-for-word duplicate of the original John Sayles script. Even worse, the severe overacting of the cast really kills the memorable dialouge. Only Roger Corman would save production costs by recycling the underwater photography from the original for a remake. Needless to say if the producers of this film wouldn't waste their money on it then you probably shouldn't either.

A small town is the setting as a fish plant is targeted for dumping chemicals in the local waters. The fish have gotten bigger as a result but something else has gone wrong as well. The chemicals being dumped are needed by a new resident in the waters, a fish man created by the military. David Carradine is the head of the plant and is trying to stop his employees from dumping. To make matters worse, one of the animal rights activists has a thing for his daughter. Then people start to be killed in the water. A shark is blamed but it does not explain why only male bodies have been found. None of the females have been recovered. Then most of the animal rights people, and Carradine's daughter, are killed or taken one night. No one seems to know what is going on except for reporter Emma Samms. But then a survivor shows up and the town finds out that there is something fishy going on. Samms is really a doctor who helped create the creatures. She is trying to stop them and exposes the military involvement. But one survivor points to the possibility of others. The military does not care, they will just blow everything up. Good ending, nice twist and I liked the way the creatures don't occur just from dumping, but were lab created (a slight improvement over the original). Still, it is a nice remake but I found it hard to take David Carradine seriously (I kept seeing flashes of Revenge of the Nerds). Definitely one to see if you like Roger Corman or a good creature flick.
This drecky mess stars Emma Samms and David Caradine, along with a number of less noticeable actors who currently reside in the 'where are they now' file. The plot involves a big business/government cover up (gee, how very original), toxic chemicals in the ecosystem, and a small, coastal town under siege by hungry, mutated fish men. Apparently the government contracted a private company to splice the genetic material of fish with that of convicted felons in an effort to create a race of amphibian soldiers. Sounds like a reasonable idea, right? Anyway, the government isn't happy with the results, so they terminate the project, but some of the fish men escape. Cut to a small, coastal fishing village. Canco, the major fish catching and canning company in the area, is responsible for dumping a biohazardous growth hormone into the waters to embiggen the fish. Actually, it's one particularly dislikable guy named Bill who is responsible. David Caradine, who plays Wade Parker, also works for the company (seems like he and the evil Bill run the company), finds out what's going on and demands that the dumping stop. Bill agrees, but only to placate Wade as there's good money to be made in those big fish. Enter a nameless eco-group, whose leader, Matt, is played by Justin Walker. This group knows chemicals are being dumped into the waters, and are protesting Canco. Later they videotape Bill and his cronies at work, pollutin' the waters. No real attempt was made by Bill or his evil lackeys to cover up what they were doing, as they did it in broad daylight, with huge, yellow drums with biohazardous markings clearly visible, so it's no big surprise they got caught on tape. Also, it seems this growth hormone is attracting the mutated fish men, as they need the chemical to survive. After the death of a little boy, completely ripped off from a much better movie, the fish men start to make their presence known. Their attacks become more brazen, and we soon find out that they are kidnapping, not killing, local females for mating purposes. Yuck....Damn those amorous fish men, stealin' our wimmen! Man this movie had a lot of problems...worst being the inept direction. The actors, most being fairly capable, seemed totally mismanaged. An extremely poor script and plot certainly didn't help matters any. The thing that really annoyed me was how so many technical aspects were glossed over, like the DNA splicing, effects of toxic chemicals on the environment, the military involvement, etc. No real thought was given to any of these aspects, instead skimming the surface of theses many themes to aid (hinder) the plot along. Mutations, DNA splicing, and conspiracies being the crux of the movie, it's painfully obvious that the writer threw this stuff in the story, without having any real knowledge to support it. And the sets...the interiors were so obviously fake, making parts of the movie seem like a high school production. The characters' motivations are all over the place, causing the actors to appear indifferent to events that should mean more to them than they do. A specific example is when Wade's teenage daughter is taken by the fish men, and presumed dead. Wade doesn't seem all that broken up about it. At some points he does seemed upset, but given that your offspring may have been eaten by a mutated fish man, I'd figured you'd be pretty horrified and suitably despondent, but not so here. On a positive note, the creatures did look kinda cool, but it was obvious that the suits (no CGI here) allowed for very little mobility, hindering the action in their limited screen time. The suits were fairly detailed, but I think if they were simplified, allowing more mobility, they would have been much more effective. The gore was needless, and the blood looked painfully fake. In the cheap thrills department, there are a couple of brief nudity shots, if that's your thing, but they were unnecessary, and only served to further exemplified the total lameness of the movie. "Hey, we know this movie stinks, but here's some breasts!" Emma Samms, never got au natural, retaining some of her dignity, but not much. There are some extras, including a director's commentary (!?) which I was interested in hearing, but was unable to sit through this movie again so soon. Also, there are some trailers for other movies, including one for a movie called Watchers 3. In watching this, I was amazed at how blatantly this feature ripped off the movie Predator. I don't mind producers copping ideas off better movies, but at least try to make it seem not so glaringly obvious. Geez...
