Product Description

Two cult classic, post-apocalyptic B-movies in one set. Def-Con 4: The Last Defense. The Last Hope. Howe (Tim Choate), Jordan (Kate Lynch), and Walker (John Walsch) are three astronauts who return to earth two months after a nuclear holocaust and must confront a new and terrifying reality. All the cities and towns have been destroyed. Shanty towns have been constructed from the refuse of the old world. Civilization has given way to barbarism. And the battle for the future of the world has just begun. Hell Comes To Frogtown: Welcome To The Future. A Mutant-Filled Industrial Nightmare. Sam Hell (Roddy Piper) is a muscle-bound combination of wise guy cool and deadly force. It’s up to Hell and the armed and dangerous beauty Spangle (Sandahl Bergman) to brave the barren wasteland once known as Earth and ruled by slimy, green overgrown amphibians. Their mission: to perpetuate the race by impregnating as many fertile women as possible. Humanity’s last hope for survival lies in the abilities of a beauty and a beast!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A decent low-budget Rowdy Roddy Movie
    Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Let's be 100% honest, it's a low budget movie so the special effects aren't that good. Rowdy is a hero from the good old days or Wrestling and was always enjoyable to watch. Sandal Bergman (original Conan & Red Sonja) is also in the movie. Great acting, no. Great effect, no. Great story, no. Enjoyable to watch, yep. It's a great B movie. After all, according to Sam Hellman, "A soldier's work is never done." DefCon 4 is also included, not as good as Hell Come to Frogtown.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this for Hell Comes To Frogtown
    Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2014

    I bought this disc because of Hell Comes To Frogtown. It is a very entertaining B movie featuring scantily clad girls, a loopy plot and the macho heroics of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. What's not to love? If you are the sort of person who finds a title like "Hell Comes To Frogtown" innately appealing you will LOVE this movie.

    "Def Con4" is a late in the cycle Canadian nuclear holocaust film. It has an interesting premise but fails to deliver on execution. Radioactive mutants? Introduced and dispensed with in a matter of minuets. Things like that occur all the time in this movie. The really interesting stuff gets little air time while we get an abusive teenage love story as the center of the film! Of the two films on this disc Def Con 4 is by far the more inferior film.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The other road-warrior / apocalyptic movies.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I'm trying to be fair on my score here. Fair because I love the old 70-80's style after the war style films and I'd simply give this a 5-star score for that. If you keep in mind WHEN these films were made and whole road-warrior class of films being made at the same time, then you''d likely score it 5 starts too.

    Without giving away the stories (which you may already know of if you are reading this in any case) here are some reasons to buy and watch these two films.

    Roddy Piper. This isn't his best movie, but he mostly leaves his wrestling moves behind and just plays / pushes the camp style to the max. He makes the film the perfect blend of fun and silliness that make this a cult style classic.

    Movies without a budget. Okay, there had to be some kind of budget, but not by much. Entire movies made without spending on sets, special effects or lots of retakes. They just got out there and made a movie for just the love of doing it.

    Seeing what other folks thought the world might look like after World War 3 that didn't focus only on Mel Gibson and cars racing around. Both movies are that very topic, though in the case of Hell comes to Frogtown, well things could be worse. While both have the basic core background and subject mater, they couldn't be more different. From one being dark and the other being outright funny, to one trying to paint an almost moralistic commentary to the other perhaps setting up a TV series, there is a lot to enjoy.

    So look, if you know what a B movie is and have ever enjoyed one, then you can almost bet your bottom dollar that you'll enjoy one or both of these movies. What more can I say?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hell Comes to Frogtown is a twisted comedy that's worth watching if you like anything B-rated. I plan to watch it again soon.

    I still haven't watched Def Con 4, since I only bought this for Hell Comes to Frogtown. I hadn't seen this movie since I was a kid, so it was nostalgic. VERY corny, but in a funny way. If you're looking for a pure sci-fi experience, it's probably not for you. If you look at it from a comedy perspective, it's great -- especially for the age.

    Roddy Piper's character is great. Supposedly, one of the last fertile men after a nuclear war, his reproductive parts are considered property of the new government and his job is to help re-populate the world by performing "in the field" with any fertile women his team can capture and impregnate. The brief topless scene is reason enough to watch it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Two Really Great Bad Movies
    Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Both movies are classic examples of the 80's post-apocalyptical genre. Made on low budgets and limited resources, they are cult classics, and highly recommended for teens of the era in which they were originally released.

    For those not viewing them through nostalgic lenses, you will need to be fans of so-bad-it's-good entertainment.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Spent a great evening!
    Reviewed in Germany on July 30, 2016

    I ordered this DVD because "Hell Comes to Frogtown" was mentioned in a newspaper article as "one of the worst films ever made". This caught my interest. And yes, this film is BAD, it is horribly bad. What kind of a sick mind is required to come up with a script like that??!

    I gathered all my friends around my beamer and after some beers and chips we had summoned up enough courage to start the film: it is so bad that it really is cool! We had a hell of a lot of fun and laughter and discussions - the fun evening was well worth the investment :-)

    Defcon 4 is a classic, post apocalyptic, low budget but highly entertaining story. Frog town on the other hand is far out and crazy, but there are some good laughs here. This DVD is for the sci-fi lover only.
