   The same year Roddy Piper starred in They Live, he was also in Hell Comes to Frogtown. Strange year! Obviously, Frogtown is pure exploitation, not really well made or acted, but it's FUN, and that's what exploitation films should aspire to be. The bomb has fallen, and 10 years later, there are very few people who are fertile. Enter Sam Hell, an anti-hero with powerful swimmers whose junk is nationalized in the name of repopulating the Western Block. Not sure why they would risk his furious motility on a mission to rescue a fertile harem from a city of mutant frogs (still can't tell whether radiation turned people into frogs or frogs into people, I think both), but you shouldn't be thinking about this too hard. The movie wouldn't know proper consent if it tripped over it, but Hell is at least presented as a post-apocalyptic Don Juan, irresistible to women, but also capable of loving all the women he's with. He's a romantic being asked to have sex clinically. Not there's too much titillation in this thing (just enough) and it knows it's silly - just watch the trailer, it's a thing of beauty. Star Trek fans may get some joy out of the reference to "Arena" in the film, though it may have been accidental. Mad Max meets Y the Last Man. 3 years 8 months ago
