Troma love it or hate it?

01-20-2003, 08:58 PM

Hey guys,
I was wondering do you people like Troma flicks or do you hate them. I personlly can't stand troma I couldent even sit through toxic avenger. Im wondering are there any Troma films that dont feel like a troma film that I might enjoy?

DefJeff · 01-20-2003, 09:08 PM

i also hate Troma. i feel The Toxic Avenger part 1 is the only good film they have put out (i am not counting Bloodsucking Freaks, Stendhal Syndrome or Fanatic or any others they didnt MAKE)

i acutally still had a little hope for them but after the totally disappointing Terror Firmer, i gave up all hope.

I'm in the middle. I love some of their flicks, but the majority are crap. Toxic Avenger & Class of Nuke 'EM High are classic cheese. Terror Firmer's sledgehammer approach got on my nerves, but that's Troma for you.

I still wouldn't mind checking out Citizen Toxie. Kaufman can be an annoying prick on those DVD intros. I was won over by his book, "All I Need To Know About Filmmaking I Learnrd From The Toxic Avenger." Great read!

Check out Mother's Day & Combat Shock. Troma didn't make 'em, but they had the good sense to distribute 'em.

hate em

I love Redneck Zombies but of course, they had nothing to do with the making of it.

Lloyd Kaufman is such an ass, I can't stand him or Troma films, pure garbage.

zombi3 · 01-20-2003, 11:23 PM

I like Toxie, but that's about it.

Anyone pick up Troma's release of "New Gladiators" by Fulci? Crap print and ful screen (has roma ever released a film in widscreen?). Even the commentary was boring as hell, I just hate when Troma releases such crappy transfers yet takes the time to film a half-ass intro by Lloyd. Utter crap...

Also, trying buying movies of thier site - I promise you that they will fuck-up your order someway. Ask anyone who's bought from them.

mcchrist · 01-21-2003, 12:11 AM

I hate Troma, that bbeing said I do like a couple of their movies, but as Jeff said those are mostly the ones they didn't make.

01-21-2003, 12:12 AM

"I love Redneck Zombies but of course, they had nothing to do with the making of it." OOOOOOOh yes they did. It was a collabaration between troma and full moon. Not all troma sucks e.g. War, Toxie, Nuke em' high and Fortress of America spring to mind.

I agree with most of the folks, I have some of their films, but basically I don't like them. There dvds are also always on the crap side, which is no way to win me as a loyal customer.

01-21-2003, 12:38 AM

I liked Toxic 1 and Redneck Zombies but my favorite is Tromeo and Juliet.

I usually don't enjoy their movies (hated Terror Firmer) but I'm still compelled to rent them once in a blue moon. I guess I keep hoping that they're going to be good, but I'm usually greatly dissapointed.

Lloyd is an ass.

01-21-2003, 01:08 AM

i have a love/hate relationship with Troma. Some of their movies i love so much...so i rent other ones and end up having a friend rip the spoon out of my hand so i can't dig out my eyeballs. and with that said, i can't wait to see Citizen Toxie.

01-21-2003, 01:17 AM

I love Troma,I remember they used to play a ton of troma movies on USA up all night when I was younger.Been a fan ever since.I never had any problems ordering from them online as stated above.I also got the citizen toxie screener and I thought it was a good movie,typical troma though, so if you dont like them,you probably wont like the movie.About a third of my dvd collection is Troma releases.I really liked terror firmer,it was way better than I thought it was going to be.So put me down as loving troma.

Troma movies owned:

hellblock 13

I can't say that I like a single film they've ever put out. But I love Troma dearly for having the balls to keep making the kind of films they do and love doing it.

I agree with Relditty on this one. I liked both of those films for their cheese quotient alone. I haven't seen any other Troma flicks, but nor do I want to.
