Troma is awesome! I can't wait until Tales from the Crapper comes out. Anyone, here like Troma? I love Tromeo and Juliet, Toxie, Redneck zombies, and Cannibal the muscial.
You can't really call Cannibal: The Musical a Troma film. Troma only financed it... Trey and Matt were the ones behind it's every creative aspect. That's the only reason why it was a good movie. Troma blows! :)
The only Troma thing I've bought is Graduation Day, and it sucked hard. Astoundingly lousy characters, no plot - even the T&A was amateurishly done. And the introduction to the DVD was as annoying as a commercial by that Matthew Lesco guy that's selling books on how to get free money from the government. It's in the top 5 s**ttiest movies in my collection.
Troma may have done some good stuff - I don't know. I've sure never seen it.
I actually like the Toxic Avenger films and the Nuke 'Em High flicks. Sure they are stupid, but they are fun as hell. You can't forget Sgt. Kabukiman either. Great stuff there.
As for Mr. Hockstatter's mention of Matthew Lesko.....I too hate that guy.
anyone else smell a banning?
the toxic avenger movies were cool, I also loved tromeo and juliet. But over all I find troma films a bit of a mixed bag, a lot of there stuff is beyond awful, like surf nazi's must die, boy was I dissapointed.
LONG LIVE INDEPENDANT FILM STUDIOS (echo). Sorry about the capital letters.
Haven't seen much Troma stuff but I must say I was laughing during the entire Sgt. Kabukiman movie, which is a good thing :)
One of my friends is a big Troma-fan (mainly because of bloodsucking freaks and the toxic avenger) and I think I will lend some of his video's :)
I liked Toxic Avenger 1 & 2 (all I've seen) and Class of Nuke'Em High. I didn't like Troma's War. Beyond that I haven't seen many Troma movies.
I own Cannibal! The Musical on DVD, The Toxic Avenger: Director's Cut on DVD, Tromeo & Juliet on VHS, and Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV on DVD. Quality, quality pieces of crap that I can watch over and over.
Check out Terror Firmer. It's pretty much the epitome of what a Troma movie should be: stupid, offensive, low-budget, gore-filled, plentiful T&A, obvious stunt doubles and prosthetics, terrible acting, etc. It is interesting, however, because it's the first debut of Citizen Toxie screenwriter Trent Haags (or Hagaas, I forget which), who is eerily reminiscent of Steve Buscemi. He acts farely well, and you can tell that everybody on the cast cared about the movie in some way, shape, or form.
