Bawdy, Violent, Humorous, and Romantic. James Gunn Lloyd Kaufman. Jennifer Acomb Alex Ingalls. Instead of a faithful adaptation, the film takes the story's basic elements, where not only does the name of our protagonist allude to the controversial production company Troma, but the film is full of puns that are to some extent witty and suggest that while the humor is lowbrow and, like all Troma projects, seeks to shock audiences, there's a certain wit to the way everything is deconstructed.
The film is loaded with violent and disgusting moments that more than once I had to look away, and other times I couldn't stop watching because of the incredible make-up…. I'm totally down with Shakespeare slummin' it in Tromaville. I don't know if Kaufman was trying to class up a Troma film or drag Shakespeare down into a pit of sleaze and filth, but the results were entertaining either way.
The replacement of the classic downbeat ending with an ending that's a little more Troma's style was interesting. All you really need to know about this, however, is that it's freakin' narrated by Lemmy. Re-watching this today, with all of it's 90's grunge aesthetic and "edgy humor", you get that same embarrassed feeling you get when you re-read all the things your dumb friends wrote in your old yearbook.
Incest, pedophilia, giant penis monsters, clunky iambic pentameter At least we get the stock footage car flip: The Hirschfeld signature of every Troma work.
Anyone that thinks that Disney didn't know about this film, but fired James Gunn over some old tweets, is a moron. Unapologetically troma; full of slimey mutilation, purile humour and a determination to offend in every way possible, Tromeo and Juliet is peak Kaufman. No one is safe in Tromaville. There's incest, self mutilation, abuse, a rampant catholic priest, death via a hitler club, death via ladder, that car crash, Toxie and Kabukiman, a huge monster cock complete with teeth and slime, a woman with a huge cow cock, punks and costume parties.
All of which are hilarious. God, I wish I lived in Tromaville. Every visit to Tromaville I've made has been a lot of fun. No exceptions here. Lots going on and this was where James 'Guardians of the Galaxy' started out.
Going by this, I can see why. It gets pretty lonely around here, you know, dedicating my spirit to a vastly under-appreciated art form - so I thought I'd slip in a little personal ad. I'm sure the producers won't mind. If any women are interested in water sports please call me at ! Run out into the lobby and make the call now. Oh, yeah - and I love big hooters!

Connections Edited from Sgt. Kabukiman N. User reviews 65 Review. Top review. Anyone going into a Troma production should know what to expect, and that is irreverent and perverse comedy with plenty of political incorrectness. Expect plenty of nods to other Troma films and plenty of re-used gags flipping cars and head squashing. Many may think it sounds like utter crap that only morons would find funny With a great cast, a funny script by James Gunn and Lloyd Kaufman , a fitting soundtrack and plenty of great visual gags, Kaufman has yet again succeeded in turning what is right upside down and grossing the hell out of everyone.
Get some popcorn, grab a beer, invite your friends over and enjoy Tromeo and Juliet for what it is, a Shakespeare adaptation with plenty of balls. The end. LoneWolfAndCub Feb 16, FAQ 2.
