Plot

This film is set in an post-apocalyptic wasteland where few fertile men and women exist due to atomic fallout and, as a result, the government places a high priority on those that can still breed. Shortly before the movie opens, a group of mutant amphibians (who have been exiled to the desert by the humans who still look normal) have captured a group of fertile women and are using them as sex slaves. Sam Hell (Piper) is recruited by the government to go recapture the women, then reproduce with them and save the human race. To make sure that the strong headed Hell follows the order of his commander, he is forced to wear a protective codpiece that will explode if he disobeys an order or tries to abort his mission.

The most notable scene in the movie is the notorious "Dance of the Three Snakes" sequence by Sandahl Bergman.

Sequels

Despite its critically poor reception, Hell Comes To Frogtown spawned three sequels: Return to Frogtown (1993), Toad Warrior (1996), and Max Hell Frog Warrior (2002).[2]

Cultural references

The title inspired the animated television series Family Guy episode title "Hell Comes to Quahog".[3]
