Screenplay
Like Troll 2, despite the English title, Troll 3 has no plot connection to the original Troll, features no trolls, and is also a horror film, not a fantasy-comedy. The film has none of the original cast, nor storyline continuation, from either Troll film. In one scene in a bar, a banjo-centric song from Troll 2 can be heard in the background.
D'Amato's fantasy film Quest for the Mighty Sword is also referred to as Troll 3, its German release title, by some sources, so these two films can be confused.
After a small town nuclear power plant dumps hazardous waste into a forest surrounding the town, people begin dying in increasingly gruesome ways. No one can pinpoint the source of the deaths until the EPA investigates; the forests' roots were mutated due to the waste, causing them to kill and eat people. The plants attempt to break loose, however the EPA bulldozes the plants, killing them, but leaving the possibility that some plants may have survived.
