Puppet Master 3

Der Puppet Master!
You know by the time you reach a Part 3 of a series, you'd better do something interesting with your concept to keep the movies from going down the tubes. Thankfully Puppet Master 3 does that. It's a prequel more or less and takes place in Germany during WWII. When the Nazis catch wind of Andre Toulon's anti-Hitler puppet show, they come-a knockin', but soon take a bigger interest in his puppets. Ya see, the Nazis are hard at work at trying to reanimate dead soldiers to give them the winning edge on the battlefield. Those wacky Nazi doctors are working on a way to do this and rejoice when they see Toulon's puppets. Toulon's wife is killed by the Nazis during the attempt to arrest him. Now Toulon is in full Bronson mode, so he gathers his puppets and wages war on the Nazis!! Fun stuff.
In this movie, the character of Andre Toulon is quite a bit different from the evil mad scientist we saw in Part 2. He's a more sympathetic and likable character. He's not interested in...

Blu-ray Review: "Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge"
Charles Band's "Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge" takes the series in an exciting new direction. Although there seem to be story contradictions, the third entry gives viewers the chance to see the events spoken of in parts one and two unfold before their very eyes. The puppets we've come to fear suddenly take a turn towards good as they become tools for taking out Nazi soldiers and officers. For a B-movie, the sets and locations used look and feel authentic.

In 1941, a doctor named Hess is attempting to produce a serum that will re-animate dead soldiers to march on the frontline and give cover for the live ones in battle. He hears about a puppeteer named Toulon who uses stringless puppets in his performances. Upon investigating, Hess discovers Toulon has generated a potion that brings inanimate objects to life. Toulon's wife is killed by the Nazis and the puppeteer uses his wooden creations to exact revenge on those responsible for her death.

full moon love!
going back in time to the origin of the puppet master in the heart of world war 2..the sets are incredible adding a bigger budget look ,the puppets are in rare form with there stop motion mayhem ,classically trained actors adding a sense of taut drama with the likes of guy rolfe and richard lynch as a sadistic nazi...sadly this was the pinnacle of the series ..with slight mention to curse of the puppet master number 6 which is criminally underrated in this viewers opinion ..nice bonus features and picture quality that brought a tear to my eye after having to suffer through repeated viewings over the years in a poor dvd or vhs format that you could barely see..now its pristine from every sweat and stressed pore of the puppet master and his beloved wife to the fine detail in all the puppets..puppet master fans this is a must buy..kudos to charles band and full moon please keep cranking out this level of quality for dollman and demonic toys and other classics from your back catalogue !
