C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud Audience Reviews

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
utgard14 Nominal sequel has more in common with the Return of the Living Dead films than the original C.H.U.D. It's a horror comedy where a C.H.U.D. (now basically a zombie instead of the creatures from the first film), is freed from a government lab by a couple of stupid teenagers. One of these teens is Brian Robbins from "Head of the Class." Anyway, the C.H.U.D., played by Gerrit Graham, is called Bud. Hence the title. Bud does kill people, so there's some horror element, but it's all played for laughs. Unfortunately it's not very funny. Maybe if you're stoned you'll chuckle.C.H.U.D. was a good movie. It didn't need a sequel, let alone a comedy that had nothing to do with the original. The cast is mostly irritating, especially Robbins. Gerrit Graham does what's required with the broad comedy but he can't turn water into wine. Robert Vaughn is slumming but that was the '80s for him. Avoid this unless you're easily amused and like stupid puns like "This C.H.U.D.'s for you."
Paul Magne Haakonsen Okay, first of all forget ALL that you know about the C.H.U.D.s (providing you have seen the first movie, that is), because this sequel has nothing to do with that at all. Well, sure they mention them by name and that they apparently have something extracted from them, but that is where the comparison ends."C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud" is a downright comedy, where as the original C.H.U.D. movie was a horror. However, there weren't really any laughs throughout the movie, so it kind of failed on that front as well.Now, if you are familiar with the C.H.U.D. then you know that it is some kind of mutant humanoid being, not a shambling undead zombie, right? Right! Well in the sequel, a C.H.U.D. is now a living dead corpse; a zombie, if you will. What? How does one go about totally changing the layout of a horror movie creature into something completely overnight and expect the audience to just eat it raw? That was a bad mistake.The storyline in "C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud" have a frozen C.H.U.D. specimen frozen down in containment by the military. But some frisky teenagers manage to steal the corpse and bring it back to life. And Bud is hungry, thus goes the neighborhood and the school dance... There you go, the general outlay of the story.Being a late 80's movie, "C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud" is fairly stereotypical for its age. So it might be a trip down memory lane for some people to watch this.The cast in "C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud" was fairly good. Most memorable was Gerrit Graham (playing Bud Oliver/Bud the C.H.U.D.), and he did managed to get something cool out of the C.H.U.D. role, despite it being a comedy zombie movie! Duh! Robert Vaughn (playing Colonel Masters) was a welcomed face as well, though he was a bit difficult to fully take seriously as a military officer in this movie.I remember watching this movie when I was a young teenager, and I recall parts of the title song (Bud the C.H.U.D.) even after these many, many years. I did recall it was living dead creatures as well, but decided to revisit the movie for old times sake. Now that I have, I feel a bit disappointed with the experience. The movie is a low-end comedy, so unless you like cheesy comedies that cash in on former titles, then this movie is not really worth the time. (No offense to fans!)
Mr_Censored If you happen to come across "C.H.U.D. II - Bud the Chud" and are expecting a logical sequel to the 1984 cult-classic, you will only walk away disappointed. If, however, you are in the mood for a nice, healthy portion of late-80's cheese, then this zombie-spoof just may be the ticket! After two bumbling teenage buddies (Brian Robbins and Bill Calvert) misplace a cadaver intended for their high school science class, they find a replacement in Bud (Gerrit Graham). Bud is a C.H.U.D. (which, if you recall the first film, stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) and seeing as how he is the last of his kind, the government sees fit to stuff him away in a minimum security facility in a podunk little town. The two pry the titular Chud from the facility with minimal effort, and after killing the family dog and clogging the toilet, Bud strolls through town, turning anyone and everyone he comes across into a like-minded zombie, on the prowl for a little fun and a little flesh.This film is ridiculous, that's for sure. Whether it's the goofball dialog, the "Thriller" inspired dance number or the theme song that accompanies Bud, there is hardly a moment where it looks like anyone took what they were doing seriously when making this film. It has a real fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants spirit that maybe made its producers and distributors nervous, but nevertheless, translates to a gloriously goofy good time. Vibrant performances are in abundance, with everyone from seasoned actor Robert Vaughn, who viciously chews up the scenery, to the beautiful Tricia Leigh Fisher, the supportive girlfriend who finds herself the object of Bud's affection. Go into this one with expectations of a care-free good-time and you'll likely find "C.H.U.D. II - Bud the Chud" to be a blast.
Zoe Howard All i can say about this title is they obviously never saw the original film. The story is gone letting it run with a night of the living dead wannabe comedy routine done 80s style. And thats its one redeeming factor. the comedy. If you like slapstick horror then go ahead and check it out. if you are looking for something more serious i highly recommend you pass this one over. The overall suffering of this film is a lack of a well written script. If you are a fan of the first one i recommend you avoid this one. It will only disappoint you. The closest i can come to a compliment is how the film was shot. Granted i saw a full screen version of the film so the screen composition is a little different. Z
