Teen Wolf Too
Blu-ray (Collector’s Edition)
Director: Christopher Leitch
Screenwriter: Tim Kring
Cast: Jason Bateman, Kim Darby, John Astin, Paul Sand, James Hampton, Mark Holton, Estee Chandler, Stuart Fratkin
Distributor: Scream Factory
Rated PG | 94 Minutes
Release Date: August 8, 2017 1987 brought with it some of my favorite films, including Predator, RoboCop, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Hellraiser, Evil Dead II, and The Monster Squad, just to name a few. ’87 also gave us some of the worst sequels ever, like Jaws: The Revenge, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol, and Teen Wolf Too, now available on Blu-ray from Scream Factory, known for delivering definitive releases of cult classics and forgotten genre films. Directed by Christopher Leitch (writer of Universal Solider, director of She Fought Alone), Teen Wolf Too is a carbon-copy of Rod Daniel’s 1985 film, minus the charm. I have to assume that this movie was conceived as a direct sequel to the original, with Scott becoming a certified “party animal,” livin’ it up at college on a basketball scholarship. After Fox, who had become a big star after Back to the Future, dropped out, rewrites created a new character that could serve as a stand-in for Scott. Enter Jason Bateman (Zootopia, Horrible Bosses), brother of Fox’s Family Ties co-star, Justine Bateman, who stars as Todd Howard, Scott’s cousin.

Air Date: Thursday, November 5th, 2015, 8pm Last week on Heroes Reborn, we went back to that fateful day, the entire series is based upon, June 13th, 2014, via Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oko) transport. Hiro brings Noah (Jack Coleman) to find out what happened to Claire. And he does. She died in childbirth, birthing twins. Hiro went to try to stop the bomb strapped to the Harris (Clé Bennett) clones. He popped back and forth through time trying to find a scenario that was not horrible if the bomb did not go off, and he couldn’t. So he had to let the bombs detonate. Angela Petrelli (Cristine Rose) was at the hospital and told Noah and Hiro of the babies role in saving mankind. Hiro took her and the babies to 1999, so they’d be ready to save the day in 2015. June 13th, 2014 also caught the Collins family, hopeful and happy. So sad. Spoilers below.
