Director Statement

Following the multi-award-winning success of the original 'Devil's Lettuce' short, this sequel was made entirely thanks to the dedication and support from our loyal and wonderful fans. This film was purposely crafted to be as bad as possible in keeping with the traditions of American anti-drug propaganda films of the 1950s-1960s. While there is something of a statement being made here, ultimately our only goal in this is to make you laugh. We truly hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.
