[edit] Plot
This film is set in an post-apocalyptic wasteland of the future where amphibians rule the Earth. Following a nuclear war, few fertile men and women exist and, as a result, Sam Hell (Roddy Piper) is recruited by the government to reproduce and save the human race. He is recruited to infiltrate a city of frog-people and rescue a group of fertile women. Hell has to wear a protective cod piece that will explode if he tries to abort his mission.
The movie contains the marks of an unintentionally funny B-movie (low budget, awful costumes, blatant plot holes, awkward dialogue, obvious bloopers, in addition to its absurd plot), yet seems to be conscious of its hilarity.
The most notable scene in the movie is the notorious "Dance of the Three Snakes" sequence by Sandahl Bergman.
This film was followed by three sequels: Return to Frogtown (1993), Toad Warrior (1996) and Max Hell Frog Warrior(2002).
