That's right! They're making another one.

It'll take place in the same time that the first one happend - after the war had began, but before the brain-bug was found.

The same brilliant writer wrote this. But they're having a completely no0b director.


The bad news is that it's going straight to video.

There are already a few fan-sites on the web. Check out the "Miscellaneous links" section in the IMDB page.

I'm glad that it's going straight to video.
I think the first one should have gone to video also.....
The movie is a good video rental, when it's raining.

No way man, the first one was great...a little light in the plot area but it was a fun action filled movie, with some decent comedy that while not the best story, could still entertain you for the whole 2 hours..(except for that really bad death scene on the ship as their leaving the planet)

My only prob with it was that I got the fealing the director could not decide if he wanted it to be like all the other new sci-fi movies OR if he wanted it to be reminesent of the great b-movies of the past.

If this one is going straight to video I can see them sticking with the B-movie style thoughout the entire movie.

I think the story was written by Robert Heinlan, who wrote some interesting sci-fi/political comment books like "Stranger in a strange land". So, i reckon there was a bit more in there than just bug bashing. My impression of it was that the soldiers were portrayed as brainwashed/"rascist" hotrods.

Alright, but at the end of the day it was a bug-bashing movie. The second one is probably all the plot they cut out to make it just a special effects explosion-fest in the first place.

And Christ, Endless, you must be English. You apologise more readily than me
