One of the only reasons to bother watching this abysmal film is to see the beginning and the end of Larry Norman and Randy Stonehill's acting careers! These two godfathers of "Christian Rock" appear in this film for apparently no reason whatsoever. Their bit-parts have absolutely nothing to do with the plot, to the extent that there is any real plot at all in this sequel, which has nothing to do with the original film.
We get to see Randy Stonehill play guitar and sing while sitting in a drain-pipe at night with a girl, and smoke a joint together, before being eaten by the Blob. We get to see Larry Norman wandering around at parties, we see close-ups of him eating food in a bowling alley, and we see him standing around in random scenes while police shoot guns at the Blob to try and stop it. Why were they in this film? Who knows?
Throughout their later singing careers, both of them occasionally made vague references over the years to having once acted in a science fiction film, but they never mentioned the name of the movie. Watching this movie explains it all: They probably wished no one ever discovered their horrible secret...!
If anyone claims to be a true fan of either Larry Norman or Randy Stonehill they should be required to watch this film. And no fast-forwarding is allowed. You must sit through the entire film and ponder the depths to which low-budget science fiction films are capable of. There is nothing offensive in this film, just the total lack of any real plot!
This film is truly so bad that it's good, so keep this in mind as you sit through it, waiting for it to finally end...!
