Ten years after one of the most idiotic B-movies of all time, they made a
sequel.  It's been years since the tomato war, and the red vegetable has
been outlawed.  The parachutist/hero Finletter from the first film now owns
a pizza joint, where his nephew Chad (Starke) and his friend Matt (Clooney)
invent new and different pizza ideas (anchovies and peanut butter, anyone?).
Meanwhile, a mad scientist named Gangreen (played by John Astin) is
experimenting with tomatoes, and is at the point where he can turn a tomato
into a muscle-bound Rambo-looking soldier!  He also has a tomato-woman
(babelicious Karen Mistal) as a lover/house-keeper.

Well, Gangreen finds a mutant "fuzzy" tomato and orders it disposed of.  But
his woman loves the little tomato, and she runs away with her new "pet"
(whom she names "F.T.").  She hooks up with Chad, and the two fall in love
(despite their differences of opinion when it comes to tomatoes).  So, the
mad scientist ends up kidnapping the girl, and the heroes from the first
film must reunite to put a stop to Gangreen and his tomato/beefcake army.

This is a very silly movie, but it was entertaining.  It doesn't take itself
seriously (at all!).  The knowing looks at the camera, the product placement
jokes, the "big breasted girls go to the beach and take their tops off"
movie, the reuse of footage from the first film...  it's all good fun.  Oh,
and random ninjas and cowboys appear out of nowhere.  And, Rick Rockwell
(that's right, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rick Rockwell from FOX's "Who Wants
to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?") has a couple of bit parts!  What more could
you ask for?
