Werewolf turns into a soap opera.
poolandrews26 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Werewolf: A World of Difference: Part 2 starts as bounty hunter Alamo Joe Rogan (Lance LeGault) lies in a hospital bed awaiting the results of ultrasound tests that will determine whether he was bitten by the Werewolf or merely scratched, the difference being that if Rogan has been bit he too will have the Werewolf curse. Meanwhile at the morgue Eric's body goes missing...

Episode twelve from the first & only season of Werewolf this originally aired in the US during October 1987, directed by James Darren this one feels like it's going into bland soap opera territory. This episode revolves entirely around bounty hunter Rogan, like the first part of this story there's lots of flashbacks as Rogan contemplates his situation & things that have happened. He recalls having discussions with his wife which is where the slight soap opera feel comes in, his boss & an expert on Wolves which gives the production team the chance to throw in lots of facts about real life Wolves, how they live & other little titbit's. There's not a whole lot here to get excited about, rather uniquely Eric as a human does not feature in this episode at all except briefly at the start when he is seen dead at the morgue & as such this is the only episode where Eric doesn't have any dialogue or significantly effect the outcome of the episode.

This is well made as usual with some effective nighttime sequences although this is very short on action, in fact once the Werewolf breaks out of the morgue it just disappears. Since this episode focuses on Rogan, his character & his motivations you would ideally need have seen some of the earlier episodes to fully know what's going on & it pretty much finishes as it starts with Eric on the run still a Werewolf & bounty hunter Rogan still trying to capture & kill him, you could probably skip this two parter & you wouldn't be missing anything significant.

A World of Difference: Part 2 isn't that great & has little to recommend it, it's worth a watch for fans of the show but as a stand alone episode it's one of the worst without even any decent Werewolf action.
