Please Just Curious ...


if the town is full of " Goblins " then why is this movie called " Troll 2 " ? Is there a difference between Goblin and Troll Creatures ( I'm not overly familiar with all creature legends here lol ) ? Great and most amusing movie so far . I'm watching it on the CHILLER Channel right now .

Well according to Wikipedia, the movie was originally titled "Goblins" but the studio didn't think it could succeed on its own, so they released it as "Troll 2" in an attempt to cash in on a movie called "Troll" from 1986. Aside from the title, there's no connection whatsoever between the two movies.

Oh OK thanks so much MrSambito . I was a bit confused on all of that . At the time I was watching this movie I was looking up the difference between Goblins and Trolls with no luck lol . I didn't think to check Wikipedia at the time either ( silly me lol ) . It seems to be a pattern with these types of movies too .

The movie could have been named - " Troll 2 : The Town of Nilbog " . lol Even if there wasn't a connection between the two movies .
