Nazis and Puppets

For a review for Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge (1991) read here 

I wasn't surprised that Band benefited from a lack of location for shooting Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge (1991) when looking overseas through the use of the Universal Studios backlot. I don't know how much Band had to pay for the production of this third film in the PM series, but, just the same, "Toulon's Revenge" looks quite impressive with its sets (representing WWII Berlin as the Nazis were a power). Streets and buildings (some crumbled with scattered brick and protruding rebar), all kinds of Nazi decor costuming the different blocks Andre Toulon must remain elusive in, with his live marionettes in tow, unleashing his killer puppets on the officers (and eventually Major Kraus) for the murder of his wife (Sarah Douglas, in a rare sympathetic role). While Richard Lynch as Kraus remains such a major piece of casting as the chief villain, Ian Abercrombie (as a Nazi doctor looking to creature reanimated soldiers to keep on fighting as the Russians were putting a lot of pressure on them) and Walter Gotell (typically he was Russian adversaries opposing James Bond and His Majesty's Secret Service) as a general expecting results are quite a luxury for a Charles Band prequel to two other films in a series about killer marionettes. On top of them, Guy Rolfe receives one of the best roles of his career...and quite late in life. Band and Co loved Rolfe so much, he returned for two more sequels. But I had forgotten that Leech Woman and Blade's "birth" were in this film. Not only that, but Band even gives an identity behind who inspired Pinhead and Jester, Jewish victims of the Nazis. Although the time continuity is off, this particular story would be a nice fit for the very first "Puppet Master" as Nazi officers were hunting down Andre Toulon at the Bodega Bay. Inconsistencies in the history of the franchise, from what I understand, plague the franchise as a whole. Even when Andre died as opposed to what date is on his gravestone in "Puppet Master II" is off. So it is one of those cases where you just have to forgive those putting together these scripts. I'm guessing the treatments are rather rushed and not altogether fitted with each previous film...Band is probably just, "Fuck it."
