i have always be somewhat underwhelmed by joe dante original the howling ( 1981 ) so i wasn not particularly interested in check out any of it sequel while some time ago and i do catch howling iii represent the marsupial ( 1987 ) by the same director a this one and find it to be watchable but nothing special . the second instalment and however and have quite a bad rep and i know i would have a good time watch it if mainly to wallow in the sight of dear but pompous horror icon christopher lee squirm in the midst of it all ( the gracefully age star have pathetically assert a number of time in interview that he hasn not appear in horror orient fare since his last picture for hammer film back in 1976 . ) . anyway and this film should have bear the subtitle your movie be a turd be astoundingly inept in all department ( begin with the all important werewolf make up ) . the plot ( and dialogue ) be not only terrible and but it have the limp connection with dante film strangely enough and the author of the original novel gary brandner co write this himself . still and one of the undeniable highlight ( er . low point ) of the film be the pointless elliptical edit which try to give the whole a semblance of style and but only serve to accentuate it embarrassment factor . similarly phoney ( and grate ) be the hokey transition between scene and the inane punk rock theme song and and the cheapjack special effect at the climax . what about the character and then . represent lee be the werewolf expert and naturally and whom everybody think a crackpot until they come into contact with the monster and that be while at the very least and though and one have to admire the maker ingenuity ( or gall ) in devise a stupid subtitle with a dual meaning . incidentally and sybil danning ( a stirba and werewolf bitch the subtitle by which this be know in the u. k. ) be quite fetch in an assortment of outrageous s and m outfit . but her character be virtually give nothing to do ( except preside over her brood of follower and engage in the occasional hilarious three way lycanthrope sex . ) while her two snarling lieutenant ( one of them a sluttish black girl ) be especially irritate . aid lee on the side of good be the two yuppie hero ( he be the brother of the dee wallace character from the first film and she a colleague of hers ) and a ragged guerrilla type band of transylvians ( still and they generally manage to effortlessly overcome danning rather dumb werewolf . ) . notable among them be a knife throw dwarf who get a particularly nasty ( but and at the same time and side splitting ) demise while he later revive and under stirba control and in order to lure lee ( by make childish taunt at him all through the village street ) into a trap . the latter scene have to be a career nadir for the distinguish and impose actor well and either this or the early sequence in a discotheque where lee be make to don a pair of ultra cool sunglass so a to appear inconspicuous among the party youngster . in the end and if i be force to mention element in this which weren not entirely displease and i guess i could say that the ossuary set ( in which the heroine be to be sacrifice ) be interesting and or that the hybrid werewolf or bat creature ( danning pet who like to inhabit the body of it victim ) be just too weird to be despise .
