a-jw The plot is ridiculous. The acting is bad. The effects are fake. The music is horrible. The chicks show tits, but the guys no dicks (if the monster dick doesn't count). They even throw in a kick-ass Juliet and a lesbian sex scene, just for good measure. Basically it has something for everybody who can appreciate some real quality garbage.
Professor T&A This isn't the worst Troma film I've seen. It was better than Surf Nazis Must Die! but no where near the caliber of Toxic Avenger or Nukem' High. It only has a little nudity and only one good sex scene so I'd say skip this flick if you're looking for cheap thrills. You know the story, the special effects are par for an 80's B movie and the laughs are far and few between. I found myself distracted during this movie and kept checking the clock to see if it was almost over yet. Not the worst flick I've sat through but I won't be watching this again. Skip the popcorn and save the beer because even though this movie is available to watch right now from streaming Netflix it ranks too low on the T&A scale for me to recommend.
Indyrod This outlandish Troma movie is actually a very good movie. It is known as their epic and best and most highly rated production. Their version of Shakespeare's play is extremely funny with the usual dose of Troma nudity and gore. Troma has made some very good gore films, one of my favorites is "Street Trash" and of course the Toxic Avenger movies. I have one Troma movie, "Terror Firmer", which has a reputation as their goriest and nastiest movie. I enjoyed "Tromeo and Juliet" so much, that I need to finally watch "Terror Firmer". This is a 2-disc Collector's version with four commentaries and many many features. "Tromeo and Juliet" is an absolute hoot and highly recommended.
Scars_Remain The title of this says it all. I think it's very rare that Troma churns out anything that isn't complete garbage. This movie still is garbage but it has a bit more to it than just being offensive for the hell of it. I had a good time watching it because I wasn't expecting a masterpiece or anything of the sort. It's just an entertaining piece of Troma trash with a little bit of heart.The acting sucks, as usual with a few exceptions. I liked the Romeo and Juliet update for the most part but some of it didn't seem to add up for me. I think it may have been better if the movie would have just gone for its own story rather than trying to base it on Shakespeare's play, but it still works pretty well. I thought the direction was poor but let's face it, Lloyd Kaufman really doesn't know what he's doing, but he does know how to entertain and that's what he did with this movie.If you decide to sit through Tromeo and Juliet, expect a good time but not anything spectacular. You should have fun.
