The late, great Roddy Piper is Sam Hell, the worlds last fertile man, who gets a dream assignment: he has to find some beautiful women, rescue them from their captors and get them pregnant. The catch: their captors are a group of mutated, chainsaw-wielding frogmen that live in Frogtown, a section of the desert from which outsiders rarely return. To give him extra motivation, Piper has a bomb strapped to his crotch, set to explode if he attempts to run away. (He also gets partnered with Sandahl Bergman, so the odds really are stacked against him). If there were more movies like Hell Comes To Frogtown, the world would be a better place, so its a shame the three sequels, which include the brilliantly-titled The Toad Warrior, arent up to much.
