Everyone loves at least one Troma flick (and do mean flick) I mean who couldn’t great movies like Class of nuke’m high, Sgt Kabuki man NYPD, canibal the musical, and Class of nuke’m II. No one makes B-movies like Troma. My fav is Toxic Avenger. I got the tox-Box with all 3 movies and some eps of the Toxic crusader cartoon. BTW while troma my make cheap flicks their DVD production EXCELANT the DVDs for all 3 Toxic Avenger movies each have at least an hours worth of Extras ---

I’ve only seen one that I know of: **Cannibal: The Musical** which certainly has its moments! Expecially the “let’s build a snowman” song. LOL! I might watch that today! ---

not necessarily my favs, but 2 that are coming to mind right now: **Tromeo and Juliet Teenage Cat Girls in Heat** (rowrrr) ---

Back in the mid-'80s I worked for an ad agency with a lot of Japanese clients. One of our clients wanted films to show in hotel rooms–and we accompanied them to Troma’s actual “headquarters,” which at the time was a third-floor walkup on 8th Avenue. We sat down with the Troma principals and watched, as I remember, _Surf Nazis Must Die!_ and _Attack of the Confederate Cannibals_. The clients sat very seriously and took notes, while the advertising VP and I tried desperately to look professional. All these years later, I remember Leroy’s Mamma pulling out a machine gun and yelling, “_Eat some o’ Mamma’s home cookin’!_” ---

I’m gonna go with Redneck Zombies, if only because it starred my old pal Lisa DeHaven. ---

I wanted to see their flicks so much, but they weren’t closed captioned. I once wrote them asking them to do that & got some really weird letter back from them from someone on some weird kind of drugs or something. ---

Anyone else seen Blonds Have More Guns (or something like that)? It’s an awful, awful movie, but I loved it anyway. ---

Were they the ones who did _Fatty Drives The Bus_? I think they were. I’ve always wanted to see that. ---

I have never seen the film “Sugar Cookies” but I believe it is cinematically noteworthy in its being the very first Troma film ! It seems this film is a drama (probably unique for Troma) about a woman (Mary Woronov) plotting revenge against a sleazy porno film director. It seems the director accidentally killed the woman’s lesbian lover while simulating a suicide scene. Well the plot sure seems “Troma-ish”. Here’s the IMDB link: [http://us.imdb.com/Title?0070746#comment](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0070746#comment) As far as my favorite Troma film - no question - the Toxic Avenger. ---

“Surf Nazis Must Die!” surfing…nazis…what more is there to a good movie? oh yes…skin. This one had that. Was ‘Slave Girls from Beyond Infinty’ a Troma gig? ---

Another vote for **Cannibal: the Musical**. I often sing from it to young Whatsit Jr. as we’re out on a stroll. Come on, everybody together now! _The sky is blue, and all the leaves are green My heart’s as big as a baked potato! I think you know exactly what I mean When I say it’s a shpedoinkal day!_ (Or something to that effect, anyway.) ---

I’d have to go with **Terror Firmer** , Lloyd Kaufman’s reflexive and self-referencing tribute to himself and Troma Studios. **Redneck Zombies** is a sentimental fave as well. And of course the immortal **Toxic Avenger** movies are essential viewing…well, part 1 and part 4 are, anyway. Parts 2 and 3 (originally one long movie that they whacked in half) really suck in a way that are embarrassing even for Troma. ---

P.S…one thing that truly annoys me about Troma is the fact that they constantly assume credit for the actual making of all of their releases. Most of the “Troma” catalogue are independently produced movies whose distribution rights were acquired by Troma after they were completed and done. They then add their names as “executive producers” and always try to infer that the movie was of their own conceiving, when in fact they had nothing to do with the actual making of the films…they’re just putting them out under the Troma label. ---

Gotta put in my vote for Redneck Zombies … however Toxic Avenger is a must see for all and ultrafilter , you should check out \* Fatty drives the bus\* odd little flick - I think it is just worth seeing jesus running down the street ---

**Tromeo & Juliet** gets my vote. There was not one person I knew who didn’t at least ONCE laugh their asses off at that one. Favourite scene = Tromeo whacking it to computer porn. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fav-troma-flick/180327.md?page=2)
