What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The film turns killer tomatoes, Professor Gangrene, and a takeover of France into deliberately over-the-top comic material.
Professor Mortimer Gangrene pursues world domination while relying on the hapless Igor to occupy the French throne.
Igor is inserted into the throne of France as part of Gangrene's scheme.
The sequel's direct-to-video status, monster premise, and broad parody mode signal an intentionally scrappy cult presentation.
