Storyline

- TriviaWhen ADV Films submitted the film to the MPAA, they were worried it would come back with a PG-13 rating. So if that did happen, they had a few extra changes of dialog with extra some stronger profanity in the script need be it.

However, when he was falling with Jean after escaping the Ark he used the broken arm to shoot his grappling hook and hung from it, then after landing was using his 'broken' arm as if it weren't injured at all.

Featured review
Person who said that Spriggan "isn't revolutionary but is still fun" summed it up best.
Only thing that I found negative was the scenes of really pointless, over-the-top, violence. The only reason Little Boy had the offensive capabilities he had, was so that the viewers could see his victims explode in explosions of gushing blood.
More flash than substance, but still a fun rental.
BTW, the word "Spriggan" (as far as the title reference goes) has nothing to do with the ugly, baby-stealing gnomes of European lore.
"Spriggan" is the "Americanization" of the Japanese word "Supurîgan," which means "Striker" and is the original name of the manga series "Spriggan" is based on.
