Plot:
3 guys go hiking with a little spelunking on the side. Entering the dark cave, they discover an underwater stream. Bill dives in first and followed by Cliff. However, Malcolm decides to stay behind. Exploration ensues until Trog, caveman KILLS BILL (gotta get that lame Tarantino reference in...)
Cliff gets away.
Cop pays a visit to the eminent scientist, Dr. Brockton. Since Cliff is sedated, she refuses to let the cop talk to him yet. Later, Brockton questions Cliff about the creature.
Dr. Brockton talks Malcolm into taking her to the cave so she can see the creature. Back at the dark damp hole, she manages to get a picture of Trog.
At first, the cop doesn’t believe the picture. However, Brockton is able to convince him.
Sightseers dwell all around the cave. Unfortunately, there aren’t any vendors trying to sell monster t-shirts…The mayor is irate about all the publicity.
In the cave, a diver is attacked by Trog who heads for the surface. People panic like whenever they see cavemen run towards them. Brockton whips out her trank gun and shoots him. Trog is taken to Brockton’s lab.
This is prison for those who abuse WIRE HANGERS!
Trog is happily chowing down on his diet of fish and lizards.
Why do I have to see an orthodontist?
Brockton wants to get enough publicity on her side to agree with her research. The Mayor is angry that the publicity will disturb his real estate schemes. Trog could be the missing link between apes and man. Trog was cryogenically frozen for millions of years. Brockton is trying to show Trog to behave friendly.
This is my Christmas present,a Betsy Wetsy doll?
The Trog training montage ensues. Brockton’s assistant, Dr Selbish, hates all the effort she’s putting into Trog.
At a bar, the Mayor starts up a conversation with Dr. Selbish and finds a friend who can’t stand Brockton’s work.
Another Trog training montage ends with Trog killing a German Shepard.
Court hearing, Cop claims Trog is nothing more than a wild animal. Brockton defends the caveman when the Mayor isn’t heckling. Dr Selbish claims that Trog is worthless. However, the judge decides to allow Trog to be kept under Brockton’s custody. She immediately fires Selbish.
A film montage of Trog training for scientists is battered against our retinas.
Dr Warren, a surgeon, implants into Trog a microchip, a radio locator with a ½ mile range.
This isn't the Clockwork Orange process for gorillas
They begin the final surgery that will allow Trog to talk.
Suddenly flashbacks to dinosaurs, fights, and earthquakes ensue.
Trog starts to talk.
At another court case, the judge gets so sick of the mayor’s incessant heckling to throw him from the courtroom. Brockton reports on Trog’s progress.
That night, the Mayor knocks out the clinic guard and sneaks into the lab. He trashes the lab before unlocking Trog.
Trog catches up to the mayor and is able to whoop him quite rightly.
Running free, Brockton is in hot pursuit (huhhh-cooo-cooooooo-cooooooo got to release the inner Roscoe P. Coltrane…) Trog reaches the woods.
The police ready their patrols while Trog reaches the village and begins to rampage and demonstrrate that butchers don't appreciate in being hung on meat racks.
You can't have any pudding unless you eat your meat..
He spots some kids at a park. When the ragamuffins start to panic, Trog runs off with a little girl.
Trog takes her back to the cave. By this time the police decide to look at the cave. The military is even involved to storm the cave.
The kidnapped girl’s mother is already blaming Brockton.
The cop refuses to let Brockton in the cave. She gets to the cave anyways. Communicating with Trog to let have the child which he does.
The military will handle things. They blow up the cave entrance. Soldiers find Trog and open fire on the missing link, falling onto a number of stalagmites impaling his body.
When a reporter asks Brockton about the story she walks off disgusted…
