When was the last time you clocked a Troma title? Did it happen to be the 1988 genre mash-up TROMA’S WAR? Well whatever it was, y’all should take aim at a sweet looking special edition DVD of the aforementioned flick, which stocks shelves come January 26, 2010!
From unabashed schlock-meisters Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz (THE TOXIC AVENGER, TROMEO AND JULIET), TROMA’S WAR centers on:
A small group of typical Tromaville citizens who find themselves in the path of a terrorist army controlled by the power elite. The freedom of Tromaville and the world is at stake! TROMA’S WAR creates new kinds of heroes. A used car salesman, a handsome environmentalist, an obese junk-food gourmand, a seventy-year-old housewife, some sensational young women, a year old jingoistic baby and more sensational women all become deadly soldiers.
And you know what? An uncut, fully restored original version of the film will be released on the special edition DVD. Other bonus materials include:
– “Veteran’s Day: A Post-Tromatic Reunion”
– “Kill-O-Meter” (all the carnage of TROMA’S WAR with none of the story!)
– A commentary by director Lloyd Kaufman
– Vintage interviews with cast and crew, and much more.
Long hailed by Kaufman himself as Troma’s “undiscovered masterpiece,” TROMA’S WAR is the ultimate anti-war film response to the whole Reagan and Rambo zeitgeist that pervaded the ‘80s.
