Critters II

 

 

               I haven't seen you in a long time, peewee. How's your little

                      space monsters?

 

The film starts out in space on a desolate planet where Charlie, Ug, and Lee are hunting a vicious, worm-like creature. After successfully killing the beast, they leave the planet. Charlie contemplates why Ug and Lee let him tag along, to which Ug replies "Charlie bounty hunter". Soon afterwards, they receive a new assignment by Zanti, head of the High Council. He tells them that the Crites (Critters) are still alive and must be wiped out....and so the trio of bounty hunters set a course for Earth........

Back on Earth Brad Brown is visiting his grandmother in Grover's Bend and word gets around the town fast implying he became well known after the events of the first film. He does not return a local hero - the townsfolk seem to want to forget about the events that destroyed the town....the stories about alien beings were nothing but stories.....

Shortly after the bounty hunters arrive the Crites begin terrorizing the town. They begin to grow in large numbers. Lee, Ug's brother, is killed (and devoured) by the Crites, causing Ug to slip into a depression and lose his human looks, reverting back into a No-face as Charlie calls them.  The remaining people of the town devise a plot. They lead the Critters to a burger shop in an attempt to blow them up but fail. The Crites then come together into a large ball and begin heading to the church, where people are seeking solace. Just before they reach the church, Charlie flies directly into them with his space ship heroically proclaiming "I'm a bounty hunter!" destroying them. Ug then takes on Charlie's facial feature, in honour of him. Although thought to be dead, Charlie survived on a parachute and stays on Earth becoming sheriff of the town. Ug departs in a new spacecraft, still wearing the guise of Charlie (however, he later reverts back to his previous human face, at an unspecified point, since in the 3rd and 4th film, he is featured looking thus).
