Don't think that me putting these movies together is some reference to the time-honored tradition of kids blowing up frogs with firecrackers. It's just a coincidence.
Unless that's what Frogs is playing off of. They did choose to set the movie on Independence Day. But that seems to be a popular time for eco-horror movies. Jaws and The Bay take place then. And in Born on the Fourth of July Tom Cruise holds dominion over insects.
Firecracker is from Cirio Santiago. I've seen A LOT of his movies but none have made it to Bad Movie Night. If that means I'm underrating him or he's just not very good remains to be seen. Firecracker is a more well-known movie of his so it will be a good test. His most famous movie might be T.N.T. Jackson (written by Dick Miller!). So, martial arts movies fronted by women named after explosives. The man had a wheelhouse.
Here's what happened last week:
