FOOD OF THE GODS PART II

THE STORY: Dr. Neal Hamilton gets more than he bargained for when he tries to help out his friend Dr. Kate travis. Dr. Travis has used an experimental serum on a little boy with growth problems, which has caused the boy to grow to about 15 feet. Neal is trying to find a way to reverse the effect. Taking a sample of the serum back to his lab he uses it on some tomatoes and viola! They grow to super tomatoes! Unfortunately a bunch of campus animal rights activists break into his lab and knock over the cages containing lab rats. The rats maul one of the intruders to death, eat the tomatoes and escape. The rats, now the size of collies, then go on a reign of terror, eating anyone several people. The Dean of the university refuses to cancel the grand opening of the new sports center based on the giant rat threat. The rats attend the grand opening and maul dozens of people until the police show up and start gunning them down. Meanwhile, Neal has perfected a cure, but its too late to help Dr. Travis' patient...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?:

1.) Neal doesn't seem to concerned with the rats eating the tomatoes. If you look at how they're place in his lab, it seems the rats can eat them anytime they want. Foresight obviously isn't his strong suit.

2.) Neal's assistant, Josh, isn't good with foresight either. The first thing he wants to do is test the serum on a rat. What do you do with a rat thats the size of Marmaduke?

3.) When the animal rights guys break in theres only ONE giant rat. It doesn't even attack them! These guys are so concerned with animal rights they won't defend themselves? I'd be monkey stomping rats all over the place!

4.) The exterminator is trying so hard to sound and act like Clint Eastwood its funny. He also uses a flamethrower. Whoa! Isn't using a flame thrower to exterminate rats counterproductive?

5.) The activists decide to 'get even' with the giant rats and hunt them in the sewers...with Tennis Rackets.

NUDITY AND SEX: Theres a tripped out sex scene dream sequence.

HUH?: The cops seem very calm about this whole rat thing. The rats kill about 6 people in one night and the cops say they can't force the dean to stop the sports center grand opening because its private property. I'm no lawyer but that doesn't sound right. The police know there are giant rats...the lead detective sees one! They seem mighty calm, too after seeing a 300 pound rat.

Speaking of the cops the dean gives them orders! How's the dean of a college get to order the police around?

Josh has a plan to help track the giant rats down...inject a female rat in heat with the serum so the other big rats will be attracted. Isn't there something inherently stupid in that plan?

The maintenance guy, Zeke has one of those slow-ass yellow carts...but when the rats come after him it speed up to about 50 mph. It looks silly.

The rats begin their attack on the sports center from the pool. Meaning they magically appear in the pool during the synchronized swimming event.

THE TALLY: I've seen worse 'giant things' movies. Actually, the dean's utter refusal to deal with the problem is kind of hilarious in itself. Definitely worthy of a six pack on a saturday afternoon. Be on alert. There are two versions of this movie! I saw this flick a few years earlier and there was a scene where the giant kid tries to run away and gets caught. He spits a giant slimey loogie on Dr. Travis! Gross, but cool! The version I saw this time didn't have that scene. What a rip!
