Once upon a time, Troma, the company that brought us cinema classics such as: The Toxic Avenger, Rabid Grannies, Poultrygeist, Redneck Zombies and Surf Nazis Must Die, decided long ago to adapt Shakespeare's famous play, 'Romeo and Juliet.' This adaptation decided to spice up the... read more
Transgressive punk black comedy version of the Shakespeare classic, with explicit nipple piercing, severed heads, an alien penis, and occasional bouts of iambic pentameter. Inventive, anarchic, and unpredictable, but only for those with a high tolerance for bad taste.
For some reason I keep watching utter rubbish films. I know I shouldn't expect much from a "Troma" film but still. I mean it's an interesting take on the Shakespearean classic. The story I guess remains intact, it's just the journey they take to get there is a bit...off the origi... read more
Okay as a gaudy, softcore exploitation flick -- but I expected this to be mid-'70s at the latest, not 1996. That's part of the charm, I guess. It's usually not very funny (if I'm being totally honest), but it's creative and skillfully scripted for the most part, which is a bit ... read more
Lloyd Kaufman's nod to Shakespeare the only way he knows how...gratuitously. just read the tagline and you'll know what your in for. It's also one of the finest independent films ever made.
This is exactly like the Leo DiCaprio version of Romeo and Juliet. Except it doesn't suck. And Leo isn't in it. And there are lesbians in it. And gore. And it's a Troma movie. And there's a guy who gets a TV smashed over his head. Oh, and Romeo and Juliet get it on... and James G... read more
Troma does it again with this rewrite of Shakesperes Romeo and Juliet.I'm sure it will have him turning in his grave but I was laughing in the isles!
This is by far the best version of the famous Shakespearian play. It adds a new twist while keeping with the same teenage angst and familial violence with a kiss of sex... in a Plexiglases box... Overall, IF you like good movies, This is definitely worth a look. Plus, you can pr... read more
Not Pretty. A very warped and wrong version of Romeo & Juliet. I had many moments that I thought to just turn it off, but it was like a train wreck - i couldn't look away...
This is a fine adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. It is very original, has an original ending, and does a lot with Shakespeare's material. I consider it a must see for both fans of Shakespeare as well as fans of cult cinema. Quintessential Troma.
Totally, disgustingly hilarious. Head and shoulders above almost every other Troma movie.
