Only recently did I discover the joy that can be found from the films of Rowdy Roddy Piper, and boy have I been missing out. This man understands exactly what his audience came to see, and rarely disappoints on cheesy delivery.
Although They Live has a certain terrible charm, my B-movie heart will always belong to a little movie called Hell Comes to Frogtown. Roddy stars as Sam Hell, the last fertile man in a world suffering from nuclear war and sterility, and it is up to him to... well I guess knock up ladies.
The movie knows exactly how ridiculous it is the whole way through, and that type of self-realization is always charming. Sam Hell is strapped up with exploding underwear, a back-up team of sexy ladies, and sent into Frogtown (the mutant zone) to rescue a group of captured girls in skimpy outfits. Along the way he meets a crazy old coot, and there are sweet references to memorable moments from science-fiction history. If you like cheesy flicks, the movie is certainly worth checking out.
PS: There are boobs in it, but only for a little.
