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.

Actor Tom Everett Scott in on-set werewolf make-up process

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. this film is not as good as an american werewolf in london and i think its crap Image File history File links AndyWolf. ...

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 English 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. The Region 4 DVD contains a longer version of the movie. There is an extra scene where Claude explains the history of werewolves and confirms that Serafine is the daughter of a traveller who was killed in London. Although at the end of the movie, Serafine was hinted at being cured after Andy (in werewolf form) eats Claude's heart in the subway, making it seem impossible that Sarafine was born a werewolf.
  • This film was shot on location in Paris, Luxembourg, and Amsterdam.
  • The band Bush released the song Mouth in November of 1996 on their album Razorblade Suitcase. The song was later remixed and released on the album Deconstructed , the version of which was incorporated into the film itself and released on its accompanying soundtrack.

SPLICEDwire: "An American Werewolf in Paris" review (547 words)
Any chance "An American Werewolf in Paris" had to stand up against it's cult classic predecessor is abandon 10 minutes into the movie when it is revealed that one of the werewolves is a nurse.
An in-name-only sequel cashing in on John Landis' darkly funny 1981 flick "An American Werewolf in London," this movie is something of a scary-comic mutation.
Meanwhile an American named Andy (Tom Everett Scott from "That Thing You Do!") and a couple of his pals backpacking through Europe rescue the Serafine (Julie Delpy), the werewolf nurse, from a suicide attempt when she jumps off the Eiffel Tower and Andy bungie jumps after her (don't ask).
An American Werewolf in Paris . Weekly Alibi . 01-05-98 (866 words)
What I remember most about John Landis' 1981 comedy/horror classic, An American Werewolf in London, is that its star, David Naughton (most widely known at the time as the cute dancing Dr. Pepper pitch boy) lost his commercial contract with Dr. Pepper because he bared his white ass in the film.
It isn't until he actually turns into a werewolf that he believes he is one, a period during which he kills a bimbo and one of the film's countless bumbling cops.
An American Werewolf in Paris isn't all bad, but it's quite a bit more like watching the Keystone Cops chase the Three Stooges down the sewers of Paris than it is like watching a horror film.
