Who likes Troma movies?

I just watched Rabid Grannies and I have to say that it was a piece of shit.

Thoughts?

If you can see Rabid Grannies uncut, and preferably subbed. It's got potential as a cult classic. As Troma released it however, it's utter trash.
As for Troma stuff, Toxic Avenger, Troma's War and Class Of Nuke 'Em High are all classics in my eyes, as well as some of the stuff they released, like Combat Shock, Surf Nazis et al.

I love how Kaufman says in the beginning of the film "director's cut", what a joke. The transfer is just a bit better than a VHS copy. I tried warning my old lady that Troma usually puts out pieces of shit but she doesn't listen. She is on this funny title movie kick.

Toxic and Class are ok not my thing though. Usually when I see Troma on the DVD case I stay far away from it except for Redneck Zombies which is a CLASSIC but that wasn't a Troma release originally.

Another misleading topic title. It should be "Who likes Rabid Grannies?"

I like Troma movies, not all of them of course (Rabid Grannies being one I don't care for).

That's like posting the title: Who likes Blue Underground?
And then saying: Man does Uncle Sam suck. Jeez.

I have to admit my love for Troma films has waned over time...I loved them as a teen,now i pretty much go out of my way to avoid them.What a drag it is getting old..

I'm typically not a big fan, but I do love Terror Firmer, Tromeo & Juliet and Toxic Avenger.

I'm not very interested in their own productions but they pick up some interesting stuff here and there like Killer Condoms, but then put them on shitty DVDs. The DVD of Rabid Grannies Troma released in the Netherlands version is totally uncut and comes with Forklift Driver Klaus: The First Day On the Job which is a riot

hell yeah! RZ is one of the best movies ever made! i first saw it back in the day. i rented it from blockbuster and it was the R rated version from full moon i belive (the case might even have said parramount ). boy was it butchered. there was no gore and the only time (from what i remember) that you saw blood was when it was on them. so no gore and just talking and i loved it anyway. that should mean something.

I'm with Shok: I used to be a big Troma fan, but I've changed my views. However, I don't hate them and some troma films have gained their special place in my heart. Some of my favourites are Monster in the Closet, Class of Nuke'em High, Chopper Chicks in Zombietown and Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD. However, it's with great shame that I must admit that the snoozefest that is Rabid Grannies is a Belgian production Keep in mind us Belgians don't always make crap: we've also produced Lucker.

Oh, and indeed, Forkliftdriver Klaus is hilarious!

Is Tromeo & Juliet anygood? I dont really watch Troma movies (except toxic avenger i watched many years ago and did enjoy) but ive heard Tromeo & Juliet is pretty good but know nothing about it

[Katatonia]

I admit it, I like a good deal of Troma movies. I just wish they'd do a better job on some of the DVD's they release.

Tromeo & Juliet is well worth watching. It's very bizarre, quirky, and features Lemmy! If you like their movies like Toxic Avenger, then you'll probably be entertained....or at least not bored. I haven't seen it in a few years, and it's one DVD which I still need to get around to buying. It's basically just a wackily perverse revision of the classic Romeo and Juliet tale.

I just got Redneck Zombies and was horribly disappointed. I was expecting something along the lines of a real movie. Fun gore, stupid color crap.

[dwatts]

I'm sure we've talked about this before. Anyway, I think it's well known that I think Troma are a waste. Their own films are pretty stupid, and the ones they license get terrible releases. Great huh?
