Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 9 mins) Andre Toulon's hotel room is a detailed reconstructed set to resemble the original room used for the original Puppet Master (1989) film.
- Goofs(at around 19 mins) The USA Flag hanging on the wall in Danny's room has 50 stars on it. From February 14, 1912 through January 2, 1959 (which covers the time this movie took place) the USA only had 48 states so there would only have been 48 stars on it (1 for each state). It wasn't until August 21, 1959 when Hawaii became the 50th state that 50 stars appeared on the flag. The 4th of July after a state is admitted is when the star(s) are officially added.
- Crazy creditsThe name Tom Baker is credited as a crew member at the end of the movie, as well as the name Lethbridge Stewart. Baker is one of the people who played the titular character in the BBC show Doctor Who (1963) and Stewart is a fictional character within that show. There wasn't anyone who worked on the movie by those two names and they were added to pad out the credits and were tributes to Doctor Who.

Featured review
Axis of Evil is the 10th Puppet Master movie and the first in the Axis trilogy.
It demonstrates yet another franchise that Fullmoon is milking into dust, and it's a shame to see a franchise that's been going since the 80's deteriorate to this level.
Telling yet another story of a keeper of the puppets who uses them to combat the German forces during world war II it's...............there really is no point in me describing it any further as it's the same as the majority of the movies that came before it.
Sadly there hasn't been a decent Puppet Master movie for years, the quality has dipped to a crippling degree. The more they try to add to the Puppet Master lore the more ridiculous it gets and we're at the stage now where the whole thing is hokey and the Puppets take a backseat.
Yes that's right the puppets aren't the stars of the movie at all, they're barely supporting players and our leads/antagonists are unforgivably dull. So if you're expecting more exciting doll vs man encounters/death scenes then you'll be sorely let down by this 10th outing.
There are three more Puppet Master movies after this, and that's assuming it doesn't continue further. Truth be told, it shouldn't.
Stick this one with a fork, it's done.
The Good:
Has a degree of Full Moon charm left
The Bad:
Stock scream
Ropey acting
Oddly boring
Brings nothing new to the table
