BeefStevens 1 Posted February 23, 2013 Ben Kingsley's character is named Xavier Fitch, Forest Whitaker is a Government psychic, Michael Madsen in the leading man, plus there are squirrel attacks and it has a ghost train made up of Alien faces. Â C'mon. 1 Share this post Link to post
RyanSz 3140 Posted February 23, 2013 It also had a skinny-ish Alfred Molina, though I think the sequel is way more insane with instant babies and a guy regrowing his head after blowing it off with a shotgun. 1 Share this post Link to post

Yeah, the second one was the really bad one. It's more like "How was Species 2 the sequel to Species?". It's like someone went "Can we all agree that the best part of the first film was the tits? Now let's make the monster in this one a guy so that when he's trying to get it on with everyone, we can have a fresh pair of tits every two minutes!". I mean, I love that philosophy, and I think it should be applied to all genres of film, but nothing ELSE worked in the second one, and I remember liking this first one quite a bit. 2 Share this post Link to post
seanotron 2307 Posted February 23, 2013 Even worse is Species 3, which features none of the original characters and manages to squeeze in even more sex/nudity. 1 Share this post Link to post
Tron83 3 Posted February 23, 2013 If they do this one we are going to have to listen to Jason say what parts he masturbated to. 1 Share this post Link to post

To be fair though, that was the first one to go direct to video, so any hope for a good follow-up instantly plummets. Hell, it may have even debuted on SyFy. Did you know there's actually a fourth one too? Crazy... Share this post Link to post

RyanSz 3140 Posted May 29, 2014 I'm bumping this thread as I just rewatched this insane fucking movie. It's still amazing that Michael Madsen was seen as a viable leading man over Oscar winners Ben Kingsley and Forrest Whitaker. Share this post Link to post
nthurkettle 148 Posted February 27, 2016 This needs a bump, because it tries to be so serious when its premise is: "If an alien who looked like a really hot woman wanted to bone you, and that boning would destroy humanity, would you still do it?" And they hired SO much acting talent to explore this idea. Share this post Link to post
dlo burns 129 Posted February 29, 2016 The sequel has my favorite 'goof' on IMDB Â The Marine Colonel is far too overweight to be anywhere near the US Marine Corps fitness standards. 4 Share this post Link to post
IRONicmerMAN 391 Posted August 25, 2016 My vote would be for the sequel. Maybe this could be a case for the crew to do a super episode covering both turds. I love this quote from Species II star Michael Madsen. Â In a 2004 interview, co-star Michael Madsen expressed his opinion on this film saying "Species II was a crock of shit. There are a number I'm not very proud of. The movie studios can't mind that much, as they haven't contacted me to tell me off about it. I'm honest - if I've made a bad movie, I want my fans to know what they're letting themselves in for." 1 Share this post Link to post
