Troll 2 (originally titled Goblins) is a 1990 In Name Only and unofficial sequel to the 1986 B-Movie Troll, by Italian director Claudio Fragasso (under the name "Drake Floyd"). Note that not a single troll appears in the film, nor is the word "troll" spoken once. There are two different films called Troll 3, and neither have much to do with either Troll or Troll 2.Here's the movie in a nutshell:The Waits family goes to a village called Nilbog, unaware that the townsfolk are actually goblins; specifically, 'vegetarians', who would try to get their vic... guests, to eat their all-vegetable food, which would turn their victims into a "half man, half plant" goblin food. It is up to the Waits' son, Joshua, who can communicate with his dead grandpa, Seth, to save his family from the goblins before his family becomes Goblin Chow.Troll 2 has been dubbed the "Best Worst Movie Ever Made" by its fans and has gained a cult following over the years. Little Joshua grew up and made a documentary about the movie and its fan base.Not to be confused with DreamWork's own Trolls 2 or Troll (2022). | |

| Troll 2 / int_13992073 | comment |
Rasputinian Death: Drew is fed a Nilbog sandwich by Sheriff Gene Freak, which makes him drowsy and limping, then he drinks some Nilbog milk, which still doesn't turn him into goblin food. Finally, he's fed an Arnold shake by Creedence, and it's heavily implied that this is what finally did him in. | |

| Troll 2 / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: At the beginning, the ghost of Grandpa Seth appears and gives Josh a massive Info Dump about goblins. At one point he talks about some people who were turned into goblins and says they started sweating green which he calls "The color of goblins, the color of sap". Sap is actually amber colored. Maybe they were thinking of chlorophyll? | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Troll 2 / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The original VHS cover◊ features a goblin that looks nothing like the creatures in the movie, menacing a boy who is clearly not Joshua, who's holding a significant-looking evil troll doll that never appears in the movie. Every word of text on it is also totally unrelated to the movie; the actual film has nothing to do with "the original boogieman", nothing to do with haunting you in your sleep, there isn't even one singular "it", and, of course, there are no trolls. The synopsis on the back is... sort of accurate, though. A DVD release of Troll and Troll 2 on one disc provides mostly accurate plot summaries for both movies, but attempts to hide the fact that the two have nothing to do with each other by referring to trolls and goblins in both summaries. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Brent and Drew both disappear abruptly from the film without explanation. It's implied that the goblins ate Drew, after he ate a sandwich from Sheriff Gene Freak, drank a bit of Nilbog milk, and then was presumably force-fed a milkshake made of Arnold. Brent was supposed to be transformed into popcorn, but the way the movie depicts it makes it look like he had some very weird sex and then just went to sleep. | |

What the Hell Is That Accent?: Creedence Leonore Gielgud's accent wavers between cliched horror movie Transylvanian and some unspecific British/Scottish/Irish-sounding lilt. | |

'80s Hair | |
| Troll 2 / int_8b4f2a4f | comment |
'80s Hair: The film is a bit of time capsule for American female hairstyles of 1989, with Holly's Jessie Spano-esque ultra-moussed frizz, Diana's layered bangs, and Hot Witch Creedence's long flowing curls. | |

Thematic Series | |
| Troll 2 / int_bc5ddda5 | comment |
Thematic Series: The Troll series is actually a series of unrelated movies that were never meant to be sequels. After the first film, this movie was made with the original, and more appropriate name, Goblins. It was given the name Troll 2 in hopes of making more money. As noted above, two different movies were released as Troll 3, along with their original titles and neither had anything to do with trolls or the first movie. | |
