Lawsuit!?

Did this movie get sued by any american studios working with James Cameron!? Most of the scenes in this movie are lifted directly from Aliens. I'm not gonna say it was a waste of time watching this because i was rolling on the ground laughing half of the time. This movie is THAT bad. Fans of Troll 2 NEED to see this movie. The lead actress is always looking into the camera, people are stuttering through their lines left and right, and the monsters are awfully dopey. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that like terrible movies. This would be right at home with the other movies listed on badmovies.org That said...i hope my dvd collection will someday include the entire filmography of Bruno Mattei/Claudio Fragasso collaborations...what an unbeatable combination of inept filmakers!!

This isn't the first time Bruno Mattei has blatantly stolen from other movies (see also Virus aka Hell of the Living Dead and its musical score) and it certainly won't be the last until Mattei passes on. The guy is in a sense the Uwe Boll of Italy in that he overrates himself and makes claptrap.

"The guy is in a sense the Uwe Boll of Italy in that he overrates himself and makes claptrap."

However, Mattei is still a much better director than Uwe Boll. Even now he's dead.

That's definitely debatable.

Because of your review and my love of Troll 2, I am working towards getting a copy. I can't wait to give it a go.

You're retarded. By 1990 it was a well-known fact that James Cameron was planning on Making Terminator 2. That's probably why Mattei stole scenes from Aliens to give his crap a Cameron feel. And that's why a lawsuit would be legitimate; he lifted copywritten material; not because he made a movie called Terminator II (by the way--did you consider that Mattei didn't make a Terminator I?).
