George Hardy, who is the biggest take away from the movie and arguably the film’s only saving grace thanks to his charisma and energy, was practicing dentistry when he was cast in the movie. Hardy is now a fully-fledged dentist and runs his own dentistry, but for the longest time and even still to this day, he has always wanted to be a famous actor...
Many of the actors weren’t notified about the movie’s release date, or if it was ever going to be released. As the actors’ delusions of becoming famous ended after they started to realize the messy and unplanned production of the movie, many of them had repressed the memory of even acting in it. As Hardy was back into his real career, it wasn’t unt...
When there were casting calls in Utah for Troll 2, Don Packard was a patient of the mental institution at the University of Utah at the time. When he was given a few days off, Packard went and auditioned. RELATED: Indiana Jones: 10 Behind The Scenes Facts About Temple Of Doom Though he only auditioned to be an extra, Packard got a major role as the...
Not only was Packard’s casting one of the strangest behind-the-scenes facts, but Packard also claims that his look of confusion in the movie is because he was genuinely so lost during filming and had absolutely no clue what was going on. However, one thing Packard did have a completely clear mind on was that he hated Michael Paul Stephenson, who pl...
Claudio Fragrasso, the director of the movie, spoke little to no English during the production of the movie, and neither did his wife, Rosella Drudi, who wrote the script. The dialogue in the script was all broken English, so the actors thought it was a good idea to form their own sentences around what was written in the screenplay. Fragrasso was o...

RELATED: Indiana Jones: 10 Behind The Scenes Facts About The Last Crusade Hardy has stated that between shooting scenes, the actors would sit around together and try to make sense of the st...
Fragrasso has always hated the reception the movie got, and he even hates how it is now successful and famous for being the “best worst movie,” as he believes it is a work of art. He says that what the actors claim at Q&As simply isn’t true, and he even turned up to one of those Q&As to heckle the actors, calling them liars and dogs, which can be s...
From time to time, actors spend a long time in the make-up chairand as tedious as it may be, it pays off in the long run as it’ll look impressive on the big screen. However, Darren Ewing, who plays Arnold, a character who gets mutated into a tree, had to stand in his makeup for 14 straight hours. The costume designers even intentionally ruined Ewin...
There are productions that spend a lot of time on making some of the best costumes, but many of the outfits worn in Troll 2were the actors’ own clothes. Jason Steadman wore a yellow tee with a logo for most of the movie’s production, but at one point, the shirt got lost. The production team made Steadman buy another yellow shirt, but the new one di...
Though the name of the movie is Troll 2, it can’t even be considered one of the worst ever sequels as it isn’t actually a sequel to Troll. The movie doesn’t even feature any trolls but instead features Goblins. The name of the movie was initially Goblins, but American producers didn’t think it would be successful under that title, so they instead m...
