Evil Dr. Arcane (Louis Jourdan) is back, somehow, and is searching for immortality. He believes the answer is hidden in the genes of his dippy stepdaughter (Heather Locklear), who likes planets more than people. Can Swamp Thing save the hot chick? I think we know.
Quick Review: So someone thought, “Swamp Thing…Yeah, we need a sequel to that.”
Out goes cult horror director Wes Craven; in comes low-budget skin flick director, Jim Wynorski. I’m sure you’ve all watched his classic The Bare Wench Project. Out as well is Adrienne Barbeau, replaced by Heather Locklear. Also added is Sarah Douglas of Superman II fame. She deserved better. Somehow they managed to keep Louis Jourdan hanging around.
Gone, also, is the horror/EC comic tone. It’s pure comedy; it is live action Robot Chicken. If you are amused by a giant plant-man pulling off a tuber for him and a hot girl to nibble on so they can have psychotropic sex, this is your film. If not, best to skip this one.
