Line 7:
''Then'' things get weird.
The original and unedited UK version is now available on [[YouTube]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov2whoa8fKA here]. The American cut is reviewed [http://madnessmonster.wordpress.com/2009/06/27/freddy-the-frog-review/ here], by [[Tragic T Dragon|a troper]] who is ''very'' happy she's not the only one here who is aware of this little slice of [[So Bad
The chief differences between the UK and the US version is that in the US version, there was an attempt to make the plot more streamlined, although they also removed quite a bit dialogue that makes the film a least a ''little'' easier to follow. It also removes some strange sexual innuendo.
Line 16:
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of James Bond via [[Word of God]]. The movie is based on stories director Jon Acevski would tell his son about a secret agent frog.
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: The magic crystal which absorbs the national energy of the monuments.
* [[A
* [[Award Bait Song]]: "I'll Keep Your Dreams Alive" by George Benson & Patti Austin
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]
Line 23:
* [[Brainwashed]]: Daffers at the command of El Supremo. {{spoiler|She's faking the entire time.}}
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Nicole, who is a ''car.'' [[BLAM|Luckily, nothing comes of this.]]
* [[Deranged Animation]]: The British spirit [[Buffy
* [[Everyone Looks Sexier If French]]: Seems to be only reason Daffers likes Freddie.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Courtesy of [[Brian Blessed|El Supremo]].
Line 70:
* [[Stripperific]]: Duffers' <s> tutu</s> outfit, if not just Duffers herself.
* [[Stunt Casting]]: James Earl Jones re-records the narration in the American release, for little reason other than to get another big name for the poster.
* [[Super Not
** Ditto for Messina, who can survive underwater as a snake. But this is possibly because [[A Wizard Did It|she's magic.]]
* [[Take Over the World]]: The ultimate goal of Messina and El Supremo.
* [[Theme Music Power
* [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]
* [[The Un
* [[Villain Ball]]: Messina could have killed Freddie any way she wanted, but she chose to turn him into frog so she could eat him in snake form, giving him an opportunity to escape.
** [[It Seemed Like a Good Idea At The Time|It seemed like a good idea at the time!]]
* [[Villain Song]]: ''Evilmainya'', like the rest of the soundtrack, is surprisingly awesome — but comes with [[Disney Acid Sequence|KKK members on roller skates doing the Macarena]].
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: There is a member of the British Secret Service who is constantly seen grinning and laughing evilly to himself, who is later viewed to be a spy for El Supremo. The American version removes this revelation, and he just seems to be an asshole.
** In the US cut, [[Sequel Hook|instead of turning into a bird and flying away]], Messina gets wrapped around a pole [[Stock Footage|(again)]] and is never mentioned again.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: When Freddie discovers the latest targeted monument is Big Ben, he tells the Brigadier that the target is Windsor Castle so Big Ben would get taken, and he could infiltrate the enemy base. To prevent them from informing the Brigadier, he disabled their walkie-talkies. Scotty and Daffers are not pleased.
