I finally got to see the second installment... which does an excellent job of continuing the storyline. I enjoyed this one just as much as the first... the cast was great... the storyline was great... the battle scenes were fantastic. I don't know what more to say other then I can't wait to see the final installment.

My Thoughts:
Well... this one is a real blast from the past for me.I used to watch the Critter movies all the time when they first came out. But this is the first time I seen them in a good 15 to 20 years! I still found this to be a fun and  entertaining movie. The Critters is just a blast to watch... and you can't help but to chuckle at some of the subtitles of what the Critters are saying. After all these years this movie held up rather well for me. I just hope now the next 3 did as well. Though I really can't remember them at all.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

Filthy, Rich and Catflap - The Complete Series 1

The Milkman Always Rings Twice
Richie wakes up feeling sexy then discovers Eddie is also in his bed. Richie worries that he has caught Eddie's 'trouser rash.' Eddie has his head under the back of Richie's robe on a rash hunt when the milkman walks in. Richie smashes the milkman over the head with some milk bottles and inadvertently kills him. They hide the bod in the cub. Soon, several more milkmen die as Richie and Eddie dash to the hospital to foil a paternity suit being brought against Richie in a dastardly plot to get hold of Richie's cash.



Filthy, Rich and Catflap is the tale of Richie Rich, a talentless and unheard-of television personality; Ralph Filthy, his useless, sponging agent; and Eddie Catflap, his alcoholic minder - both involved in helping (hindering) Richie's quest for TV fame and glory.
Unfortunately, Filthy never gets Richie any work and his minder Eddie is more than willing to administer extreme physical violence should any be visited upon his boss. Probably not the most stable basis from which to launch a career in television

I was never a great fan of the Young Ones, and this is basically a cross between that and the later Bottom series. It is a pretty tired old formula with uninspiring script, sex and fart gags, and the 2 leads basically knocking the shite out of each other. Not surprising this only got 1 series, and I recall talk at the time of a rift between writer Ben Elton and Rik Mayall.
Unless you were a major Young Ones/Bottom fan I'd steer clear of this, the pilot does not entice me to watch more.
