Line 13:
The Waits family ([[Tom Waits|no relation]]) goes to a village called [[Sdrawkcab Name|Nilbog]], who are unaware that the townsfolk are actually <s>trolls</s> [[Our Goblins Are Different|goblins]]; specifically, [[You Keep Using That Word|'vegetarians']], who would try to get their vic... ''guests'', to eat their all-vegetable food, which would turn their victims into a "half man, half plant" <s>troll</s> goblin food. It is up to the Waits' son, Joshua, who can communicate with his dead grandpa, Seth, to save his family from the <s>trolls</s> [[Rule of Three|goblins]] before his family becomes <s> troll</s> [[I Lied|Goblin]] Chow.
 
''Troll 2'' has been dubbed the "[[So Bad ItsIt's Good|Best Worst Movie Ever Made]]" by its fans and has [[Cult Classic|gained a cult following over the years]]. Little Joshua grew up and [http://www.bestworstmovie.com/ made a documentary] about the movie and its fan base.
 
A planned sequel titled ''Troll 2, Part 2'' is currently in [[Development Hell]] due to lack of funding.

----
=== This film provides examples of: ===
 
* [[All Trolls Are Different]]
Line 51 ⟶ 50:
** Some viewers initially thought that he was going to pee on Joshua. Squick.
* [[Double Aesop]]:
** [[Family -Unfriendly Aesop]]: Vegetarians are evil.
** The woman who wrote the script (Director Claudio Fergasso's wife) apparently got the idea by being annoyed at how many of her friends had recently become vocally vegetarian. Take that as you will.
*** If you want to have sex get rid of your friends.
Line 74 ⟶ 73:
* [[Names to Run Away From Very Fast]]: "I'm Sheriff Gene Freak."
* [[New Powers As the Plot Demands]]: Grandpa Seth can come back from the dead, freeze time, and summon the power of lightning, whenever it is convenient to do so.
* [[Non -Indicative Name]]
* [[Not Using the Z Word|Not Using the T Word:]] They're goblins, not trolls.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: None of the goblins disguised as humans make any attempt to act non-suspicious.
Line 87 ⟶ 86:
* [[Sinister Minister]]: Yeah, so it turns out that goblins are evangelical Protestants.
* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: The goblins eat the mom and then offer some to Joshua. That's cold.
* [[TheresThere's No B in Movie]]: The guys are all sitting around watching a movie about a crystal-stealing gorilla with rocket powers.
* [[Time Stands Still]]: Grandpa Seth can freeze time.
* [[To Serve Man]]: The goblins act nice to the Waits, but plan to turn them into green vegetable jelly and eat them.
* [[Veganopia]]: Subverted in that this probably the first ever depiction of an outright ''evil'' vegan society.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Brent and Drew both disappear abruptly from the film without explanation. It's implied that the goblins ate Drew, after he ate a sandwich from Sheriff Gene Freak (yes, that's his name), drank a bit of Nilbog milk ("High in vitamin content!") and then was presumably forcefed a milkshake {{spoiler|made of Arnold}}. Brent was ''supposed'' to be transformed into popcorn, but it was so badly executed it just looked like he had some very weird sex.
* [[You Can Leave Your Hat On]]: The very song is used in the infamous Corn Scene.
* [[You Keep Using That Word]]: The [[Overly Long Gag|goblins]] are supposedly 'vegetarians'...who, rather than, say, growing plants and eating them, turn people into plant-things and then eat them. How this is different from just eating meat is never really explained. Presumably, they're vegetarians for health reasons, not ethical ones. Once a person is turned enough toward being a plant, they can be healthily consumed, apparently. Must be less cholesterol.
