this might have been the most pointless and stupid movie ever made
but i loved every minute of it
sharebut i loved every minute of it
shareSo did I. This film is a total zany riot from start to finish.
Look nonchalant and keep on smiling.
I loved it too. Another classic from Troma.

I saw this movie in the movie theater the year it was released. I thought it was pretty bad then and now I find it down right defiling. I never could figure out the "Troma" brand of humour , nor the die hard fans who just eat this nonsense up. I just do not get it!

It's an acquired taste, yes. Subconsciously, I think us fans appreciate the ideology behind each of the Kaufman-produced films and, by extent, the majority of the Troma library: pure uninhibitedness and anarchy. Movies that have nothing to hide and nothing to lose by being totally off-the-wall and playing by their own set of rules, free from the restrictions of censorship or having to conform to mainstream appeal. Movies that are totally earnest to the audience. Like punk rock, a quintessential Troma film is stripped down to its rawest, most animalistic elements...sometimes as a statement against shallow Hollywood or a stance against censorship ("Terror Firmer"), sometimes as transgressive art ("Tromeo & Juliet"), but, for the most part, for pure entertainment. Their goal is to offer what the mainstream can't and won't give us and often to shake up the traditions and conventions of good taste and common decency (sometimes in a surprisingly poignant, clever manner), and that's incredibly refreshing, and often immensely rewarding in a culture where Miley Cyrus and 'American Idol' are more valued than Werner Herzog or Frank Zappa, for example.
On the *surface*, though: boobs + monsters = YEEEEAAAAH!!!!!
Troma's also all about having a good time, really, and everybody finds pleasure and catharsis in their own way. :)

That's what makes troma productions so good though. They're legit train wrecks, but they do how to make a *beep* train wreck worthwhile.
