	Movies - An American Werewolf in Paris

An American Werewolf in Paris was a 1997 horror film about werewolves. It was directed by Anthony Waller and starred Tom Everett Scott and Julie Delpy. It follows the general concept of the 1981 classic An American Werewolf in London
.

Unlike the first film, which had Oscar-winning special make-up effects by Rick Baker, this film relied heavily on CGI for its transformation effects and chase sequences. According to box-office sales and on-line reviews, this sequel proved to be less successful than the first film. The on-line site Rotten Tomatoes garnered the film a low rating of only 6% of positive reviews out of a possible 100% based on nation- and world-wide ratings.

Tagline: Things are about to get a little hairy.

Plot summary

In the opening scene, a man is seen under attack, almost managing an escape from the Parisian sewers before an unseen creature pulls him back. Meanwhile, tourist Andy McDermott is seeing the sights of Paris with his friends Brad and Chris. When Serafine Pigot leaps off the Eiffel Tower just before Andy is about to do a bungee-jump, he executes a mid-air rescue. She vanishes into the night, leaving Andy intrigued — and also unaware that she is the offspring of the couple seen 16 years ago in the earlier film. Andy tracks her down, asks for a date, attends a party, and winds up in her bed. When he awakens, he has toothmarks on his leg and is informed that he's making a transformation into a werewolf, confirmed by his sudden taste for rare steaks. Serafine explains that her stepfather (seen in the film's opening scene) has been working on a drug to control her werewolf transformations. Beneath a full moon, the lycanthropic love story continues.

Trivia

It has been speculated that the character of Serafine is actually the daughter of the star characters from the first film An American Werewolf in London
. This would explain her mother's British accent despite the fact Serafine has a French accent. The doctor who was to have raised Serafine in the film is also spoken of as Serafine's step-father.
This film was shot on location in Paris, France, Luxembourg, Luxembourg, and Amsterdam, Netherlands.
