Great, funny gore-fest, strangely mixes Shakespeare and B-movie madness in what is undoubtedly the best Troma film ever. The movie transgresses every boundary of good taste yet simultaneously has a strange sweetness to it. The performances of Valentine Miele and Sean Gunn (the Gilmore Girls) are awesome. The script and direction are in part by James Gunn, who shows hints of the greatness he was to later show in Slither. Probably the greatest cult, B-movie ever.
A surprisingly moving retelling of the Bard's famous romantic tragedy in fine Troma fashion, complete with a Manhattan setting, gratuitous violence, body-piercing, and a hard-driving alternative soundtrack. Winner of the Raindance Audience Award. Tromeo and Juliet features the work of "Scooby Doo" and "Dawn of the Dead" screenwriter James Gunn and more tromatic obsessions than one can shake a nipple-ring at! In director Lloyd Kaufman’s hands, Will Keenan and Jane Jensen provide an intoxicating screen chemistry that has garnered critical acclaim from critics everywhere.
Featuring All the body-piercing, kinky sex, and car crashes that Shakespeare wanted but never had, Tromeo and Juliet is a modern classic! Features a showstopping turn as Lemmy from Motorhead as the narrator.
