** And, of course, as noted above, Sybil Danning tearing her top off is repeated about 20 times during the closing credits of ''II'' (reportedly, Danning was mortified by this).
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The entire ending to ''Howling 2'' can be considered this as [[spoiler: Ben and Jenny become a couple and meet what seems to be a trick-or-treater kid in a werewolf mask, except that it's heavily implied that the kid was actually a werewolf as he starts crying the minute Ben says he had a "cool costume." Then the couple knock on the door where the kid supposedly lived and meet a weird guy who seems a little too overeager for Ben and Jenny to come over for dinner. Considering how there was no foreshadowing how werewolves could maintain sentience and normal speech in their wolf forms and the fact that the weird guy at the end came completely out of left-field, the ending to the movie can be considered one bizarre, out-of-place sequence that leaves more questions than answers and leaves you confused whether they were really shooting for a happy ending or a more classic horror movie ending where the monsters still survive.]]

** The ''Howling II'' song is pretty catchy...
* EndingFatigue: ''Howling III'' has one of the longest and most tedious happy ending out there.
** Depends on if you consider Jerboa transforming on camera during an awards ceremony and doing God only knows what kind of damage a happy ending.

** A woman being stalked by a creepy, possessive, supernatural monster named [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Edward]]?
** In ''The Howling II'', Reb Brown's hammy screaming is ''exactly'' like his idiotic screams in ''Film/SpaceMutiny''.
** In ''The Howling II'', Creator/RebBrown and Creator/ChristopherLee are allies. They previously appeared together in ''Film/CaptainAmericaIIDeathTooSoon'', where Lee (as the BigBad) delivers the classic "[[NotSoDifferent Maybe in another lifetime we could have been friends]]" speech before dying; Reb (as Cap) says "I doubt that very much". Guess you were wrong on that one...
* {{Narm}}:
** [[spoiler:Karen's]] werewolf form in the first film looks like a lovely fluffy terrier. Though that's ''still'' easier to take seriously than the flashback footage from the second film, where she looks like a gorilla wearing some joke monster teeth.
** The second film has so much of it that it practically becomes NarmCharm. Especially dialogues like "What did he say? - That your sister is a werewolf. - This is bullshit!" Or "We'll come later - I hope (MemeticMolester fase), I hope :)".
