Teen Wolf Too

Plot synopsis:
Todd Howard (Jason Bateman), the cousin of Scott Howard, has recently been accepted into Hamilton University on a full athletic scholarship on the recommendation of Coach Bobby Finstock (Paul Sand), who was Scott's basketball coach at Beacontown High. Finstock's hope is that Todd has the family genes to become a werewolf and turn Finstock's new struggling boxing team into championship contenders. Having never been much good at sports, and because he is more interested in being a veterinarian, Todd is certain that Finstock has the wrong guy. During a meet and greet reception of school alumni, Todd has his first "wolf-out" while dancing with a seductive hostess. At first, Todd is horrified by his "family affliction", and fellow students begin to harass him. Then, during his first boxing match, after nearly getting knocked out, Todd has his second "wolf-out" only this time he is able to display his supernatural agility and strength and has a dramatic come from behind victory, thus earning the admiration of the students as well as the strict Dean Dunn (John Astin).
With his newfound fame comes girls, top grades and even the dean's car but as the year goes on, Todd realizes that he is losing his friends and self-respect. Todd seeks out advice from his uncle, Scott's father, Harold Howard (James Hampton), who helps Todd comes to terms with his responsibilities and prepares him for the championship. Todd also reconnects with his girlfriend, Nicki (Estee Chandler), who helps him regain his focus of being humble. Todd then decides that he will fight his championship match against Steve "Gus" Gustavson (Robert Neary), who Todd had prior issues with, as himself rather than the wolf much to the dismay of all except his uncle, girlfriend and Professor Tanya Brooks (Kim Darby) who unbeknownst to Todd is also a werewolf. After losing round after round, and nearly getting knocked out, Todd is tempted to become the wolf until he sees Nicki mouth the words "I love you" to him. This gives Todd the strength to overcome Gus and knocks him out to a roaring ovation.

Review:
I am going to start out by admitting that even though I think the original Teen Wolf is a pretty stupid movie, I actually like it quite a bit.
The first film wasn't especially good or commercially successful, so it seems pointless to have even considered making another chapter in the Teen Wolf saga.
Stiles, who was corny but funny in Teen Wolf, has been replaced by an actor who isn't nearly as convincing or amusing.
Anyone who hasn't seen Teen Wolf will probably not be able to make sense of the plot, not that any of them would actually watch this ridiculous film in its entirety.I could probably write a fairly long essay on the problems with this movie, but I'm limited to 1000 words here.
and "Teen Wolf Too" is undoubtedly one of them.It follows pretty much the same plot as the first movie, which was itself a recycled formula.
in Teen Wolf Too when Jason Bateman (as the Wolf) runs across the park, leaps through the air in slow motion, and comes down with a Frisbee in his mouth-all without losing that stupid hat he had on!Oh, but this film is peppered with other fantastic gems.
The only thing I can figure is that he is one of many alien infiltrators sent to Earth to use bad movies to brainwash people into a zombie-like trance, making way for an alien take over.
And to think that people complained that Return of the Jedi was too much like Star Wars...They obviously hadn't seen this movie, which is basically the exact plot of the original with different actors.
Jason Bateman turns into the werewolf in the middle of a boxing bout and the whole school starts cheering for the wolf, without even thinking 'wow, a dude just turned into a werewolf, that's a little unique'.
Possibly because the cast had seen the original Teen Wolf and knew that it is possible for college sports stars to morph into werewolves when they face adversity.
Unfortunately the rest of the film is pretty weak, with alleged jokes misfiring at regular intervals and Teen Wolf singing 'do you love me'.
Don't really have to say anymore about thatI wont give away the end, just in case people are reading this and thinking 'wow, its been out for 18 years but it's only now that I feel the need to get amongst this cinematic masterpiece', but will Teen wolf decide to face the world as himself or as the wolf?
You can't top a film like 'Teen Wolf.' All you can do is defile its existence by producing a sequel like this.
I'm sorry, but "Teen Wolf Too" is just a bad excuse for a sequel to a movie that wasn't that great to begin with.
Turns out that the Dean has assumed that Todd can do for the college boxing team what Scott did for his high school basketball team what with him being a werewolf and everything.
Overnight Todd is a star in the ring and on the campus – but can he manage this sudden change?When I read overly negative reviews of the first Teen Wolf film I can only silently shake my head and wonder what the same viewer makes of the sequel.
I say this because, as basic as the original film is, Teen Wolf Too/Two/2/whatever is like the makers condensed the original film to the basics and then just put that out on as little money, time and effort as possible.
The wolf makeup is also really bad – never great of course but in Too it looks like a mask purchased at a corner store.With all this it is no surprise that the cast can do nothing with it.
The only value the sequel has is making the first Teen Wolf film seem more fresh and filled with fun that it was..
As if the cheesy first film starring Michael J Fox wasn't bad enough, some dink in Hollywood decided that a second must be made despite the fact that there were many obvious signs not to make it.
He turns into a wolf, parties, gets really good at sports, learns a lesson, and then wins as himself instead of using the magic powers Oden inferred upon him and discovers that the longtime girl friend is the hottest chick in the movie.
One such one was Teen Wolf Too. I seem to remember enjoying it, probably cos it was about boxing and i liked fight films at that age like any boy (my favourite movie series was the Karate Kid).
I didn't remember much about it, but must have liked it cos I then rented Teen Wolf, the original, to see where it had come from.
We love you and your furriness!') D) Why being a werewolf helps you be good at Basketball/Boxing.Saying all that, Teen Wolf is okay.
But it's like they took the main plot points of the original and said 'Okay, we got that scene, well let's set it here but make as little effort as possible, i mean we're only remaking Teen Wolf, no one cares if it's good.' The result is a mess of awkward, tired, unfunny scenes that only make sense when you see the original and realise that's what they were trying to achieve.
But i'm glad i saw them the wrong way round again, because this really makes Teen Wolf look like Back to the Future.Oh, and the point of my story is that I then realised my taste as a kid was obviously not that bad, cos I had seen this twice and then stopped.
If you thought Teenwolf was good, just you wait and see how his cousin, played by Justin Bateman ,portrays a new role for the howlingly funny series of movies!
I'd say the high point of the movie comes when the wolf, with all his new college buddies, dances to a musical montage of "Do you love me (now that I can dance)"....Here's to hoping for a Teenwolf Three coming out soon!!!!.
I saw this movie once in 1987 and I watched it a second time in 2003 and I still think that this is one sequel that should not have been made.
Fox and this movie proves that theory to be true.Teen Wolf Too is a text book example of how to make a horrible sequel to an average movie.
In Teen Wolf Too, the actors who portray 'Styles' and Coach Finstock seem as if they are actors who are doing bad imitations of Jerry Levine and Jay Tarses.Once I got past all of the returning characters being re-cast (with the exception of Harold Howard and Chubby), I still couldn't enjoy this movie because the story is no different than it was in the first movie.
Like the first film, they cover up the lack of plot by including several montages of Teen Wolf Too doing amazing things and being loved by his peers.
The only thing good about the DVD is that you can flip it over and watch the original Teen Wolf.
On the other hand, the worst thing about the original Teen Wolf DVD is that this waste of time is on the flip side of it..
Teen Wolf Too is so bad that it makes part one look like an Academy Award winning film.
It's note for note the exact same film as Teen Wolf, with boxing replacing basketball (and Jason Bateman as a fourth string Michael J Fox)But more importantly, I'm one of the four people in this country who saw this in the theaters.
Think of the first movie then take away good acting (except Chubby's character played by Mark Holton - he was funny) take away humor and throw originality out too.
In the first movie we saw Michael J Fox's wolf rise to fame, here we see his cousin (what a lame excuse to make another film when the original actor doesn't want to do another) first fail as a wolf then decide he doesn't even want to be a wolf.
The sporting storyline is almost exactly like the first film except it's boxing, not basketball this time.
The idea of a teen aged were wolf may have had a little live left in it if all the same actors signed and more time was given to writing a decent story and script.
What Teen Wolf Too provides:Chubby and Uncle Howard return for the sequel - The worst rendition of "Do you love me" ever recorded, then lip-synced by Teen Wolf Too at a party where he jumps 30 feet in the air, backwards, onto a balcony * One of the great movie mullets of all time - thank you Stuart Fratkin * Frog fight * John Rocker's acting debut * Will Smith's acting debut * Two-sport athlete Chubby goes undefeated as team's heavyweight boxer and is on the fencing team, giving us the most far-fetched dual-sporting career for a college athlete * Teen Wolf Too catches a frisbee in his mouth, then signs autographs * Three consecutive montage scenes with no dialogue * Professor Tonya Brooks * The "I'd like to change some classes" scene.
Well, I love Teen Wolf, and I absolutely hate this movie.
I thought that it was much more interesting in the first movie for a boy to find out that he was a werewolf when he thought werewolves were a myth than in this film were a college guy finds out he's a werewolf when he thought he wasn't like all the other freaks in the family.The other thing this film lacked was an endearing love story like the charming affair between Boof and Scott.Save yourself some pain--watch Teen Wolf twice instead of watching Teen Wolf Too..
Teen Wolf was a cute, warm hearted and fun little movie that had some nice little moments and the added bonus of the always reliable Michael J Fox starring in it.
I think that the thing that bugs me most about this film is the fact that someone somewhere thought that the great cinema going public would be that sad and that stupid that we wouldn't see this for the 'lets milk this and run' movie that it actually is.
Annoyingly Teen Wolf Too is included on the Teen Wolf DVD which is a shame as i'd rather have seen some special features, extras etc from the first movie instead of valuable space being taken up by this sorry sequel.
When you add a fat slob like Holton to a great, highly realistic script, bad hair, porn moustaches and feathers, and mesh hats, what more can you say than this movie is funny.
If you watch teen wolf too expecting a good movie - you have missed the point.
I saw the first "Teen Wolf" movie when it first came out on video.
The fact that it's taken me more than twenty years to see the sequel should tell you what I thought of the first movie, even though I was in the target audience (teenagers) at the time.
It's a lazy sequel, for one thing following the basic plot of the first movie (Teen is a loser, teen finds out he can change into a werewolf, teen gets drunk with power, teen becomes a real jerk, teen realizes he's been a jerk, teen plays in sports tournament at climax intentionally not using his werewolf powers.) To make matters worse, this time around this plot moves at a snail's pace, with only sporadic attempts at humor (all of which crash to the ground.) Jason Bateman here is a bland presence, alternately being whiny or befuddled.
Most of the supporting characters are back, many played by different actors.Scott Howard from the first film, couldn't and I'm sure didn't want to be here, so instead we have his cousin Todd.
It is just a college version of the original "Teen Wolf" that deems it unnecessary and unworthy of a sequel.
However, I really like Jason Bateman and I think he's good in even this film.
Yes it's no good as a sequel and there's alot of problems but if this was the original and no first film had been made then I think it would have done pretty well.
Teen Wolf Too is the same movie as the last except everything about it is worse
Some people enjoy this movie but I couldn't I tried I really like Jason Bateman but this is one of the worst things hes been in
Fox another Teen Wolf film was certainly in the offing.
Teen Wolf Too (1987) * (out of 4)Todd Howard (Jason Bateman), the cousin of the teenage werewolf from the first film, finds himself in college on a sports scholarship even though he doesn't play sports.
When it turns out Todd is a werewolf, his entire life changes.TEEN WOLF was a film that most people make fun of or look at as a piece of trash but I've always had a soft spot for it.
Yes, it's quite stupid but at the same time it was a fun movie with some good performances and for the most part it featured a character that a lot of young people could connect with.
The film has a couple cast members from the original but even they can't add much here.TEEN WOLF TOO is just a really lousy movie that was made to try and make money off of the original.
The only answer is, it happened in the successful Teen Wolf Movie too.
The movie was a terrible sequel to the original Teen Wolf, which was corny, but it has something good.
A Teen Wolf Too Far. If you have watched Teen Wolf, then change out Michael J Fox for his wolf cousin Jason Bateman, replace basketball with boxing and move everything to college not high school and there is no need to watch this pointless sequel.
I didn't really think much of the first TEEN WOLF - an '80s high school comedy starring Michael J.
Indeed, there's nothing much to see here other than a lame re-run of the first movie, with an added ROCKY-style boxing plot to add some action to the inanity.The problem with TEEN WOLF TOO is that it feels flaccid and badly dated as a high school comedy.
I watched this when I was about 14 years old, as a follow-up to Teen Wolf (which I don't really remember at all, but must've liked well enough to see this).And yes, it sucked.
Fox - what a surprise!) is basically a re-hashing of the original, only instead of having basketball as the sport in this, I believe boxing is (it's been a while since I saw the film.
Anything one could remotely need to know about the "Teen Wolf" phenomenon was covered in the Michael Fox original.
Well, you can imagine my surprise!This film has the same atmosphere and the same cinematography as the first one, which really makes me feel like they put some hard effort into keeping up the good name of "Teen Wolf"Once again, the performances are superb.
If you liked the very first "Teen Wolf" and if any lady viewers thought Marty (sorry, but I love "Back to the Future" so much!), AKA young Michael J.
Fox, was cute, then y'all will love this next movie in the series, "Teen Wolf Too." But wait!
How did Jason Bateman steal Mr. Fox's spot as the teen wolf?
Teen Wolf Too is the greatest movie I've ever seen!.
It is amazing to me that a movie as awful as "Teen Wolf" could make enough money to warrant a sequel.
It's one of those great bad movies.Jason Bateman's hair basically makes the movie worth your while, as does the shoddy special effects and semi-awful wolf costume.Particularly notable moments include the horrible sound editing during the first boxing match, and the moment in which Todd first transforms.Plus, there's a musical number!
I really liked Teen Wolf but after watching this movie I realized it was the charm of the star and the novelty of the concept that made that movie entertaining.If you are a Jason Bateman fan like I am though it is nice to see him in his early days when his talent was getting formed.
A guy named Chubby got a fencing scholarship.This movie is to Teen Wolf what Saved by the Bell: The College Years was to Saved by the Bell - a painful reminder that this show sucks.
Clean-cut college freshman Todd Howard (blandly played by Jason Bateman) becomes the star of the boxing team and the most popular guy on campus after he discovers that he's a werewolf.
Teen Wolf Too starts as teenager Todd Howard (Jason Bateman) arrives at Hamilton University on a sports scholarship because of a recommendation from boxing coach Finstock (Paul Sand) who is under pressure from Dean Dunn (John Astin) to win some trophy's & get Hamilton University noticed.
Fox, Teen Wolf Too doesn't star Michael J.
Fox & is basically more of a remake than an original film that tries to expand & develop the ideas seen in the original Teen Wolf & instead just blatantly copies them.
No, not because it is about a bunch of guys that get outrageously drunk and have to piece the previous night together (though if they had thrown a werewolf into it, it might have made that movie somewhat more interesting) but rather because it is an exact duplicate of Teen Wolf, to the point that we pretty much know exactly what is going to happen.
The new Coach Finstock acts almost like a completely different character but he's still funny.If you look past small things such as Coach Finstock and Chubby going from basketball to boxing, characters being replaced by new actors, no Micheal J Fox and rehashed story of the 1st movie, you may enjoy this film.
