How To Avoid making A Troma Film, By Watching A Troma Film.
I have never learned as much about the ins and outs of filmmaking as when I could actually watch one baing made, whether it be on set, or viewing a DVD like this. Of course, the BEST way to learn filmmaking is to MAKE one, like I did in film class.
Failing that, the next best way to learn is to watch what NOT to do on set. Terror Firmer recounts fictionally making The Toxic Avenger, with Lloyd Kaufman as a blind director who has to deal with a madman stalikng the cast and crew.
Lloyd, a madman in real life, is shown in the added documentary of this film as pretty much the last person you'd want riding your ass (except maybe Jim Cameron, another madman, though ecologically conscious), and, as in every other doc about a Troma film, you're left pretty much watching Lloyd tear into a bunch of total douchebags, many of whom DO know their head from their ass, but still manage to let Lloyd make them (and often HIMSELF) look like absolute TOOLS. And I plan to pitch a script to him next month! HIGHLY recommended.Possibly the most vile film I've ever seen.
When a movie opens with an unborn fetus being ripped out of a woman's stomach while she screams for mercy you can probably assume a couple things about that film.
1. You are in for an interesting and possibly vomit inducing hour and a half.
2. You are probably watching a Troma movie.
Troma turns the camera on itself with this one and creates an outrageous and violent self-parody. If you're a fan of Troma, especially their later work like Tromeo and Juliet, and Poultrygeist, this is the movie for you. It's everything that is Troma times 100. If you're not familiar with their work, what this means is: blood, guts, sex, vomit, piss, sex, blood, and immaturity being rapidly fired from the screen and violating every one of your senses. It's quite the... for lack of a better work, experience.One of the better Troma movies
A low budget studio is working on the newest installment of "The Toxic Avenger", blind director Larry Benjamin (Lloyd Kaufman) is readying the project. Unfortunately a homicidal maniac is on the loose in the city slaughtering innocent people and collecting their parts, the unknown killer hides out in the studio to kill off the actors during the filming of the movie and one of the workers must try to stop this cretin.
Exciting, ultraviolent, funny and sleazy horror comedy satire from cult movie company Troma is inspired by Lloyd Kaufman's book "How i learned about filmmaking i learned from The Toxic Avenger". It has a movie-within-a-movie-about-a-movie feel like "New Nightmare" and a good dark self-referential sense of humor to go along with it, the film is quite gory as hell even if it is cartoonish and has memorable moments like Michael Hertz (notable Troma actor and producer) getting mutilated by an escalator in Tex Avery fashion. This movie offers tasteless gags, nudity, sex, rock music and appearences by The Toxic Avenger and Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD as it's one of the better and more bloodier Troma movies yet.
The 2-Disc DVD set is phenomenal! It has great extras like three audio commentaries, Deleted scenes with optional commentary, hidden easter eggs, a full length documentary on the making of the movie, trailers to this and other Troma movies, outtakes, interactive Terror Firmer video game, Intro to the TromaDance film festival, music videos, gyno talk with Terror Firmer actress Alyce LaTourelle, chat with Charolette Kaufman, Lloyd Kaufman book intro, comic book to film comparisions, auditions, alternate scenes and endings that were filmed for the Cannes film festival and an option to watch the movie with the deleted scenes in.Perfect date movie
This movie would have sucked if it have been taken seriously. The reason why its so funny is because its way over the top. I love Lloyd Kaufman in this movie, he's a riot. I dont know too much about Troma movies but I loved this movie. Pick it up for a date movie, you dont be disappointed.FAT SLOB EATEN BY AN ESCALATOR
This is probably the goriest and most puke used Troma movie ive seen so far besides The Toxic Avenger Part IV. One of the best scenes in Terror Firmer is when the killer Grabs the fat movie producer and eats him with the axe in the business building while he is getting sucked into the escalator! Surely the intestines and blood spilling looked like rubber balloon animals but hey, it's Troma! Im really happy I bought this film, but I did not recieve my free mini poster that claimed was inside the case. Oh well, the film is worth the false advertising. The fat naked guy running through New York and getting his head crushed by a car is a classic! Disc 2 also has the Terror Firmer video game which is tons of fun and incredibly gory. BUY it. ! Although I hear that Troma's new movie "Poultrygiest" is gonna be gorier than this?Description
