Mondo Trivia: Munchie

We all love sequels! Although we hate when movies pretend to be sequels. Such is the case today...

*In 1992, Jim Wynorski made the film Munchie, which was about a 'wacky alien' who had misadventures in suburbia with a pre-teen Jennifer Love Hewitt. It claimed to be a sequel to Munchies from 1987...but it wasn't.

*Wikipedia can't agree on that fact, as the Munchies pages lists them as sequels, but the Munchie page does not. Confused yet?

*Ironically, this film did have a sequel- Munchie Strikes Back- while Munchies did not.

*This movie is actually a trifecta of low-budget crap, as it was directed by Wynorski (of Deathstalker II/Chopping Mall fame), produced by Roger Corman (of Wasp Woman/Gunslinger fame) and features a small role by Fred Olen Ray (of Evil Toons/Bad Girls from Mars fame).
