Pure, unadulterated 80s trash - somehow featuring Robert Vaughan, who must have had urgent bills to pay at the time. Regular folks need not apply, only 80s trash fanatics.As others have observed, there's no connection whatsoever with the OG CHUD. It's just a zombie spoof. Low budget B movie. Absurd plot, of course. Hilarious theme song. Bud the Chud. So funny. Hearing Vaughan say "bud the chud" as dialogue is even funnier. It's not the worst 80s movie out there by a country mile, but it's not the best by the same margin. Enjoy!

The first time I seen this movie I was a kid that snuck out of bed while the parents where sleeping. That's how I was introduced to a lot of horror movies watching Up All Night. I remember it but never the name. It took many years to find out the name of the movie. The ending is what I remember mostly. I found it on Ebay on a 8 horror movie DVD set and bought it. This movie as soon as I started watching it, everything came back.CHUD 2: Bud the chud is a sequel of CHUD 1, it is a corny, campy, funny, & considered a horror movie. For many who don't know the name Bud Oliver he is the main chud in CHUD 2. I don't know if he was a private that signed up for a army experiment or what. If he was just a dead guy they brought back, or whatever. From what I have read the chud's in the 1st movie they were mutants living in the sewer. In this version the chud's are more zombie like or even ghouls. I mean a lot of people have really hated this movie, & I'm sorry I like it. This movie is not like the first one, and should be seen as not a sequel at all.The thing that works for this movie is Bud's facial expression's. Bud's facial expressions are what tells you happy, sad, relaxed, confused, and even mad. Bud speaks very little, but has good comic timing. I don't know if it is for every bite Bud gets a little smarter or more talkative. Plus he has these wicked looking teeth. They look like Christopher Walkens teeth in Sleepy Hollow. I still liked the ending of the movie, sort of feel kind of bad for the guy at the end. Plus it's the only movie I have ever seen where the guy offer's up his heart to a girl.There's a scene in the movie that still cracks me up and it is where Bud is watching a woman doing exercises. Kind of following along with her, then she goes out to feed her cat. He's standing in front of her, as she looks up she goes "What big feet you have, then big thumbs, & starts talking to him". I mean it's funny cause he's standing there listening to her go off asking questions. Gesturing/thinking about it then he smile's, and another chud is made.This movie lives up to the 80's series of horror comedy's out there. It's well worth a watch, maybe a laugh or 2. It has the same song repeating through out the movie, kind of annoying. The movie has little bits of humor throughout the movie. True, to the 80's is the fashion, now of days we worry about all that hairspray. I think they even make a little reference to Frankenstein w/Bud wearing a black coat with short sleeves. The writing's not the best, then again maybe that is what makes it fun to watch. The poodle is cute even takes out a few people, and drags a post man down the road. There's of course a Halloween Dance that all the chuds decide to crash. Bud does has the final word in the movie with "Good-Bye!" Anyway still love this movie, laugh at some of the lines, goofs, but that's what makes it one of my favorites to watch.

If you happen to come across "C.H.U.D. II - Bud the Chud" and are expecting a logical sequel to the 1984 cult-classic, you will only walk away disappointed. If, however, you are in the mood for a nice, healthy portion of late-80's cheese, then this zombie-spoof just may be the ticket! After two bumbling teenage buddies (Brian Robbins and Bill Calvert) misplace a cadaver intended for their high school science class, they find a replacement in Bud (Gerrit Graham). Bud is a C.H.U.D. (which, if you recall the first film, stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) and seeing as how he is the last of his kind, the government sees fit to stuff him away in a minimum security facility in a podunk little town. The two pry the titular Chud from the facility with minimal effort, and after killing the family dog and clogging the toilet, Bud strolls through town, turning anyone and everyone he comes across into a like-minded zombie, on the prowl for a little fun and a little flesh.This film is ridiculous, that's for sure. Whether it's the goofball dialog, the "Thriller" inspired dance number or the theme song that accompanies Bud, there is hardly a moment where it looks like anyone took what they were doing seriously when making this film. It has a real fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants spirit that maybe made its producers and distributors nervous, but nevertheless, translates to a gloriously goofy good time. Vibrant performances are in abundance, with everyone from seasoned actor Robert Vaughn, who viciously chews up the scenery, to the beautiful Tricia Leigh Fisher, the supportive girlfriend who finds herself the object of Bud's affection. Go into this one with expectations of a care-free good-time and you'll likely find "C.H.U.D. II - Bud the Chud" to be a blast.

Two high schoolers, rubber-faced Steve(Brian Robbins)&nerdy Kevin(Bill Calvert)accidentally release their professor's cadaver into the highway on a gurney. They retrieve what they believe is a corpse in a Disease Control Center not knowing that the body is of a frozen CHUD is cryogenic stasis, put there by the mad Colonel Masters(Robert Vaughn, having a field day as the crazed military man with plenty of humorous quips at his disposal).They accidentally thaw this CHUD(Gerrit Graham playing the zombie to the hilt, nicknamed Bud by Masters)with electrical current and he roams confusingly free until Steve and Kevin lock him in the basement. Soon, however, Bud breaks from his cage with a city of innocents at his disposal. CHUDs are cannibals who enjoy a chomp on human flesh and blood..just enough to keep them satisfied. Their bites are very much like the plague..anyone bitten becomes infected with "CHUDism". So Masters and company must find Steve and Kevin so they can secure Bud before a dangerous outbreak of zombies occurs. Too late. Soon many are infected, along with Steve's pet poodle who carries off the mail man in a ridiculous scene! Steve and Kevin will have to find a way to catch Bud riding along with pal Katie(Tricia Leigh Fisher)in her automobile. It seems Bud has reason and can communicate..he even falls for Katie when he finds a picture of her in Steve's room(he actually gives his heart to her..literally!). It will all come to a head at the Halloween High School Dance where Masters' right hand suit Graves(Larry Cedar)tries to hold off the CHUDS as Steve, Kevin & Katie plan to trap the zombies. Their shady goal is to trap the CHUDs in the high school pool, tossing all the cryogenic tanks available in the military van they confiscated from the now-gone-loco Masters who hit the high road when the going was getting rough. Kevin believes that he can use an electrical hose pulled from the wall to electrocute the CHUDs to kingdom come.Silly horror comedy is pretty awful, but clearly smiling at you from the set with a wide wink. No one, especially Vaughn and Robbins, take this film seriously at all mugging with glee at the audience..hopefully for your, especially their, amusement.
