Somewhen in the future, after a nuclear war has effectively destroyed earth, humankind (or at least Americankind) is endangered to die out because there are hardly any fertile women around anymore and the spermcount of the male population is in the single digits (virtually speaking) ... and then there's Sam Hell (Roddy Piper), who leaves pregnant women behind everywhere he fucks - something that eventually gets him into jail even. However, Medtech, the company that runs the USA, has him released from prison to team him up with Spangle (Sandahl Bergman), an attractive by-the-books Medtech combattant, to go behind enemy lines and into mutant territory to free a bunch of fertile girls and - if need be - impregnate them on the spot.

Of course, at first Spangle and Hell don't get along at all, especially since Spangle controls a sort of electronic chastity belt that was put on Hell to keep him in check. However, when they enter Frogtown, a city run by human-reptile mutants, they have to put on a show for the locals, and thus Hell poses as Spangle's captor. It seems this new imbalance of power softens the two up to one another - and it almost leads to certain doom when Bull (Nicholas Worth), the toad-like leader of Frogtown, captures both of them to make her his loveslave and Hell ... well, just to torture him. However, a guy from the olden days (Rory Calhoun) frees Hell, then helps him save Spangle and the fertile girls (also Bull's captives), even if it costs his own life, and then it's off to the border to the civilized (?) world for our couple and the girls. Problem though: Bull is in hot pursuit, and the chief of the border patrol (William Smith) is Hell's sadistic warden from jail who wants to see him dead, preferably killed by his own hands.

Well, to cut a long story short, it all ends happily, and Hell both gets the girl (Spangle of course), and gets to fuck all the other girls - or at least Spangle asks him to do so - boy, some guys have the best girlfriends ...

 

Hell Comes to Frogtown is almost certainly no cinematic masterpiece, quite the contrary, it looks and feels like your run-of-the-mill low budget 1980's science fiction/action movie that's low on original ideas but high on testosterone, and treats its genre more like a magic box of pulp clichées than a thought-provoking futuristic mirror of its own time. And yet, I'd rate Hell Comes to Frogtown a notch or two above your typical genre entertainment, simply because it doesn't take itself too seriously, because Roddy Piper, while certainly not the best actor in the universe, has a self-deprecating streak in him, because, well, the villains are frogs, because there are more badass chicks in there than your typical action flick, and because the whole thing is decently paced to keep one from asking too many questions out of boredom.

Sure, this all still doesn't make the movie a classic or masterpiece of whatever, not by a longshot, but at least it's fun.
