Wissenswertes
According to a September 1972 "Los Angeles Times" news item, the rat portraying Ben won a PATSY Award, which honors animal actors.

Patzer
Toward the end of the film when the policemen and the firemen are attacking the rats in the sewers with flamethrowers and the rats are fighting back, it can be seen twice that the scenes of the flamethrower action have been filmed in reverse so that it appears that the rats are advancing - in fact, it can also be seen that the flames are going back into the flamethrowers.

Zitate
[last lines]
Danny Garrison: [crying as Michael Jackson sings "Ben" in the film's score] You'll get well, Ben, and I'll get well. We'll get well, Ben.
[places Ben on a handkerchief]
Danny Garrison: We'll get well, Ben. No one's gonna hurt one of my friends. No, sir.
[gets out a first aid kit, takes a cotton swab and gently rubs Ben's wounds]
Danny Garrison: It's okay.
[Ben squeaks]
Danny Garrison: You're the only friend I have. I love you, Ben.
[Michael Jackson sings the final verse of "Ben" as the closing credits roll]

Ben rules

OK I'm a sucker for a good b movie,and i loved this movie,better then the first one;Willard.well this time the fleeing rats led by Ben end up underneath the city storm drains.Ben then befriends a terminally sick boy played by Lee H Montgomery,who helps him.this time the rat army is much bigger.i wont reveal the ending but its a rather good one.the rest of the cast is very good,Meredith Baxter as the boys sister,Joe Campenella is the cop in charge,and Arthur O'Connell is the pushy newspaper reporter.Ben and his fellow rats should've received awards for their performance.and don't forget this features the late Micheal Jackson song called Ben.i call this a friendship between a boy and a rat.i recommend this movie to all fans of the horror genre.8 out of 10
