Lloyd personally supervised the reshoot, where the crew paid little attention to their work, and instead spent most of the time drinking and partying, which Lloyd attributes to the film's failure.
Lloyd himself encourages independent filmmaking, which he feels is a dying art form thanks to Hollywood and various conglomerates completely dominating the market, and makes cameo appearances in many low-budget horror films for free.

 The Austin Chronicle Screens: Troma Ward: B-movie maverick Lloyd Kaufman is one hot pepper
However, to legendary Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman (who is honored with a career retrospective at this year's South by Southwest Film Festival), these and other Troma classics are not only sincere stabs at truly independent filmmaking, but satire-spewing weapons in a cultural war against the corporate homogenization of the entertainment industry.
The eldest child of Stanley Kaufman, an attorney who pioneered the type of stockholder class-action lawsuit we can soon expect from former Enron employees, and his mother, Ruth, who was heavily involved in the New York theatre scene, young Lloyd didn't exactly burn his childhood watching serials at the local cinema.
For Kaufman, happily married for 30 years and the father of three daughters, championing independent filmmaking and getting independent films to the public has become a bit of a social crusade.

Lloyd put in a lot of long, hard hours in the film business, just to be in the credits and to get money for his next project, a full-length feature.
Lloyd, trying to find a quick way to pay off the bills, made The Divine Obsession (1975), and with Michael formed Troma Studios, hoping to make some decent movies, since they only owned the rights to films they thought were "crap".

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "Blood, breasts and beasts"
Kaufman might cheerfully admit that he's obsessed to the point of mania with making low-budget, high-yield movies and keeping Troma Entertainment, his tiny and fiercely independent studio, afloat.
Kaufman's most important creation, however, is not his movies, as memorable as some of them are.
In person, Kaufman is an irascible, slightly pop-eyed presence with scrub-brush hair who's capable, at virtually the same moment, of poking fun at himself while letting you know he really does see himself as a misunderstood artist.

Kaufman wrote the script with his co-director on the film James Gunn, who is now famous for writing two successful Scooby Doo movies, doing the impossible by making a perfect remake of an already perfect film with his script for Dawn of the Dead and directing one of the best horror-films of the year: Slither.
Lloyd Kaufmans innovative directorial view alongside with James Gunns original and unrestricted writing make for an interpretation of Shakespeare's play that maybe not everyone will "get" immediately, but will certainly be recognized by a truly unique and highly important view on a classic play.
With fan-recreations of a few of the scenes from the film, a video diary of Lloyd Kaufman's visit to the set of James Gunn's Slither and a visit the two brought together to Eli Roth's Hostel Birthday party and much more, this is the ultimate set everyone must own.

 The SF Site Featured Review: All I Need To Know About Filmmaking I Learned From The Toxic Avenger
For those who choose to continue, the first thing to point out about Lloyd Kaufman's book is that it is written as a kind of first-person discussion of Lloyd's life and filmmaking career.
Much as in his movies, Lloyd's book consists mainly of fascinating scenes, sometimes combined in a way that supports what could be called a plot, and sometimes placed apparently at random.
However, while the book doesn't follow a clear storyline (nor do Kaufman's movies, generally), there is so much style, humor, horror, and chutzpah that you almost don't even miss the "plot." The plot is Kaufman himself, and you can hardly come away without being entertained.
