and yeah bizarre eye, I kind of have been meaning to watch Combat Shock and Last Horror Movie for a while.

I also have this boxset and besides the Jap version of II being longer, Toxie 1 is also missing the sandwich sticking to the dude's face scene, which was one of my favourites! No idea why this was omitted, but it is on there as a n extra scene in the special features.

I found Redneck Zombies quite poor but acceptable enough. Credit to the people for trying. It does have it's merits but could've been so much more.

The Blood Boobs & Beast documentary is also an EXCELLENT Troma release.
It features the doc about movie director Don Dohler and comes with the uncut version of NightBeast.

any news on the uk releases metioned earlier in this tread
i wanna start getting some troma titles
i hope they do get a uk distributer

They won't release them in their uncut form over here. Troma movies have been around for years and they have never released them in similar editions to the US versions in the UK, just crappy cut versions that they have sold on to even cheaper distributors (i.e. The TA 1-3 movies).

You can get them for fairly reasonable amounts online. Amazon is normally the best place (maybe they were just going through a bad patch when you checked) if not try ebay.

Just make sure you know what to expect from the film before ordering. A lot of the time with the Troma buy-in stuff they look great but are most of the time awful. In itself that's all well and good but you wouldn't want to pay a lot for them.

As for buying from the Troma website if you live anywhere other than America, thta's a big no-no. They always have had, frankly, mental postage costs. Even when they sold VHS they wanted extraordinary prices for shipping. I don't know why they do it, they'd be better off just saying they don't do international shipping.
A friend of mine was almost charged £80 for postage on their site, luckily he realised and got the dvd elsewhere.

Cheers man, ok those are all pretty easy to get. Any that are directed by Lloyd Kaufman are easy to pick up and if you shop around you'll get a good deal. The discs themselves are crammed full of extras. Sometimes with documentaries that are as long as the movies themselves.

Amazon and Ebay are probably the best places. The Toxic Avenger box set and Class box sets will be the most. But that's because they are limited and, obviously, box sets.

Class (1) and Tromeo are out on Blu-ray now and are superb. They are region 0 so you don't have to have a multi-region Blu-ray player. Tromeo certainly comes with a few more extras than the dvd(s)

If you want, check out my YouTube channel (Schramm29) and see my Troma Collection (it's pretty extensive), I talk a little about the movies, which ones are good, which aren't, mention the best editions etc.
