C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D. is a 1989 comedy horror film, directed by David K. Irving, written by M. Kane Jeeves and stars Brian Robbins, Tricia Leigh Fisher, Bianca Jagger, and Gerrit Graham in the title role.

Plot

At the start of the film, the US Government has ordered a branch of the US Military to discontinue tests concerning "the C.H.U.D. project", which is built around the idea that enzymes taken from the sewer dwelling creatures from C.H.U.D. can make hyper-effective killing machines in the army. For reasons that are unclear even to those who watch the film, the last specimen of the experiment (BUD the C.H.U.D.) is hidden away in a Centre for Disease Control in a small American town, where a trio of bumbling teenagers steal and accidentally reawaken him. Bud escapes and begins to forge an army of C.H.U.D.s.

Production

It is a loose sequel to C.H.U.D., mostly in name though the ties do carry on into dialogue and plot.[1] As in the first film, C.H.U.D. stands for "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller", but the alternative acronym (Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal) is not carried over.[2]

Release

Originally intended for a theatrical release, the movie was released on VHS and laserdisc by Vestron Video on September 27, 1989.[3]

In 2003, a DVD was released in the United Kingdom.[4] In the U.S., the film is currently available on DVD from Lionsgate as part of an 8 horror movie DVD set.[5] The film screened in June 2009 as Video on Demand at FEARnet.[6]
