TROMA'S WAR

 

This movie has everything a cult movie buff could possibly want in a feature film, Extreme Violence and gore, Sex and Nudity, camp, cultural references, and satire. It's your gloriously typical Troma flick in that regard. A plane crash on a remote island leaves a bunch of diverse people stranded, As they try to get along with one another, they discover that the island is being used by a dangerous band of terrorists who plan to attack the United States.

After the terrorists become aware of the cast always the begin to hunt them and kill them for knowing of the terrorist operations, witch throws the normal people into a battle for survival, and prevention of the terrorist attack. What makes this one special however, Is that it is one of the very few Troma movies that actually has a lot of passion, expression, and redemption. Troma actually had a message in this film. This is not to say they don't have subtle messages in their other films, but never quite as profound as the one here.  

Another thing that sets this film apart from the others is the surprisingly large budget, at least compared to other Troma films witch are usually made under $1,000,000, this one was several times that, and it shows.

This is not Troma's best Flick, and I can see why most troma fans don't rank this one in their top 5. I definitely don't like this one as much as other Troma masterpieces such as Terror Firmer, Tromeo and Juliet, and Citizen Toxie. This is mostly because the film has a slightly more serious tone to it than most Troma flicks.

This movie is just a hell of a lot of fun, very entertaining, funny, exciting, and in typical Troma Fashion, even the fat guy gets laid. This is a great movie, it's not Troma's best, and I can see why most troma fans don't rank this one in their top 5, But it does have everything you want in a troma movie and then some. I definitely don't like this one as much as other Troma masterpieces such as Terror Firmer, Tromeo and Juliet, and Citizen Toxie, but I do like it better than a lot of their other films. I definitely recommend checking this flick if your a cult movie buff, you won't be disappointed.
