Plot summary
It's not 1985 anymore...it's 1986, and Chuck Steel is 'the best God damn cop on the force' according to his long suffering boss, Captain Jack Schitt. But even this maverick, renegade, loose cannon, lone wolf, cop on the edge, who doesn't play by the rules has his work cut out when the Governor of LA decides to reduce the licensing hours for clubs and bars triggering a sudden, inexplicable spate of high profile disappearances in the city. The disappearances all have the same thing in common, a crime scene covered in blood but with no sign of the victim. The police are perplexed until they get a break in the case when one of the victims manages to escape. Chuck goes to interview the victim at the hospital but is confronted by a crazed old man who introduces himself as Abraham Van Rental. He warns a disbelieving Chuck that an evil scourge is about to descend on the city of Los Angeles - the scourge of the TRAMPIRES - a mutated hybrid of vampire and tramp.

Just got to see this in Fantasia and
Something new in the area of claymation
Nice to see this was made in Wales, being Scottish myself. Like his first Chuck Steel movie, it looks great, this one even better. Incredible given the small budgets. Must have bust balls to produce the movies on such a low budgets. The humour is off beat; given it is a homage to 80s genre movies, that not surprising. Did like the fact Mike Mort branched in to horror more with this sequel. His character Chuck Steel was more developed and funnier in this movie than the original. Director has a history with the Wallace and Gromit team, and this is evident in the model sculptures-but he takes the animation much further technically. There are elements of Sam Rami, Peter Jackson, among a few. Adult animation is clearly struggling looking at the low number of reviews thus far. I can't imagine why, as it is hugely entertaining. Us British have a habit of making American style movies better than the Americans. Ridley and Tony Scott are an example of that. Even Grand Theft Auto the video game is partially created in Edinburgh for some reason. They did a grand fine job of it regardless. Hope again that it finds the audience it deserves & it get a decent distributor.
