Is this a good representation of Troma? I've not seen any other stuff from the studio. I bought Combat Shock too but I'm expecting that to be completely different.

Considering I enjoyed this, where should I go next?

I think it's fairly representative of Troma but in saying that I should make it clear that there are 2 different types of Troma movie. There are the original films made by Troma's studio, often directed by Lloyd Kaufman and then there are the film's Troma have distributed on behalf of others which can range from low-budget horror to sex comedies to the more harrowing stuff like Combat Shock.


If you liked Class of Nuke 'Em High I'd suggest The Toxic Avenger next

I'll have a look at Toxic Avenger but it seems I'll have to find an imported version, I believe the UK ones are all snipped...

Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes they are cut but you can pick up the Uncut, All Region, Troma release easily enough through the likes of All Your Music or Supermart, via Amazon Marketplace.
I also highly recommend picking up Poultrygeist too.

Another day, another no-show for my BD from HMV. They get shitter with their deliveries every week. May have to cancel all my pre-orders I have with them. Had to cancel Combat Shock and order it at Amazon on monday.

You mean HMV haven't actually posted it yet?

It was apparently sent last week at the same time as Surf Nazi's (which came yesterday).

Apparently HMV are in the process of moving, so their deliveries have been kind of whack lately. Fingers crossed it'll be business as usual again soon!

Sorry Stephen don't read this the wrong way but how is it then that you're angry at HMV? It's left their hands and now only Royal Mail are to blame for your item not arriving, surely
