"Howling II" review


Howling II (1985)
AKA Howling II: Stirba - Werewolf Bitch

Directed by Philippe Mora
Writing credits Robert Sarno

Christopher Lee.... Stefan Crosscoe
Annie McEnroe.... Jenny Templeton
Reb Brown.... Ben White
Marsha A. Hunt.... Mariana
Sybil Danning.... Stirba

I bought this video for 3 bucks at my local video store. I bought it for one reason and one reason only: Sybil Danning's perfect breasts. The filmmakers knew their greatest asset and exploited it for all it was worth. Over the closing credits, Sybil rips off her shirt a total of SEVENTEEN TIMES! Yes! I counted! If you add the shirt ripping moment in the actual movie, that's EIGHTEEN TIMES! Eighteen shots of her breasts! I felt like "The Count" on Sesame Street. "Sixteen..Seventeen..Eighteen breasts! AH-HA-HA-HA!"The rest of the flick was a cheap-o werewolf movie. The werewolves looked like guys in gorilla suits. The special magic laser (?) effects Sybil was doing looked awful. The acting was wooden. The werewolf "sex" scene between Sybil and two of her minions was too silly and definitely too hairy. Add it all up: Howling II = Bad Movie.


On the plus side, there were Sybil's naked breasts. If you want people to sit through your ending credits, call on Sybil Danning.


SCORE: 1.5 out of 4 because Sybil Danning's perfect breasts saves flick from garbage dump

Funny story… when this was first released theatrically, I took my new bride to see this ( blindly because all I knew was that it was a sequel to one of the greatest werewolf movies ever). Poor girl, she was a recent immigrant to Texas from Mexico, and this was her first experience in an American theater. We were flabbergasted, to say the least. Needless to say, I have a different wife now.
