Return to Return to Nuke 'Em High AKA Vol.2 (2017), dir. Lloyd Kaufman, Troma Entertainment
And so it ends with what a few folks have called the endgame of Troma. Everything Kaufman has been building to explodes across the screen in glorious bodily fluids of every type. You decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

A film comes along every so often that you wish the making of would be the focus instead of the story we see on screen.
The House on Tombstone Hill (1989), dir. James Riffel, Troma Entertainment
Comedy and horror can work, as Sam Raimi can attest but brother if you don't get the mixture right you can have a real mess.
Beware! Children at Play (1989) dir. Mik Cribben, Troma Entertainment
This might be the worst thing Troma has ever done, at least until this point in their history.
Dialing for Dingbats (1989), dir. Peter Slodczyk, Troma Entertainment
Moving back into comedy and tackling the growing scourge of phone sex!
Jakarta (1988), dir. Charles Kaufman, Medusa Distribuzione/Parkit Films/Troma Entertainment
Good Lord, a Troma with actual actors and location shooting? I thought that died out.
But seriously, here we see what would become a hallmark of Troma at this point, rescuing low budget films and inserting more money and or marketability into them.
Falco (Christopher Noth) isn't doing too well these days. Once, he was the CIA's top man in Asia but a mission in the Indonesian capital went sour and a gal he was sweet on, Esha (Suzee Pai) died...or did she?
Regardless, the agency needs him back and needs him in Jakarta. One kidnapping later, Falco is back in his old stomping grounds and what do you know, Esha is alive!
Then things get complicated
Yeah, not the worst film Troma ever did but the whole things feels like a tax shelter than a film.
Lust for Freedom (1987), dir. Eric Louzil, Mesa Films/Troma Team
Bring this feature too, so why not kick things off with a women in prison flick?
Had an idea, so why not bring this one back?
