		Despite their association with Troma Films, these notable pros have either gone on to have real careers, or were featured in Troma productions long after their Hollywood star had faded.
		In person, Troma Films' Lloyd Kaufman is a lot like nerdy Melvin Junco, the proverbial 96 pound, mop-wielding weakling turned radioactive superhero of the movie that first put his studio on the map in 1982.
		It is the Troma founder's auteur masterpiece, a worthy example of his belief in the old Cahiers du Cinema's concept that a film is a direct reflection of the director's personality.

	Troma
		Born out the dark and deranged mind of Lloyd Kaufman (co-founder of Troma) in the early 80's, Toxie, as his adoring fans have come to call him, helped to establish a new standard for underground filmmaking.
		Finally because they were life-long TROMA fans, the boys decided to send a copy of their film to Lloyd Kaufman who instantly realized their genius and brought the film to TROMA for distribution.
		TROMA was still meeting resistance in getting the films into video store until one day when a little phenomena know as South Park took the world by storm and the rest is history.

		Troma president Lloyd Kaufman doesn't mince words about his motivations in forging the partnership--he sees the Internet as a way to get around the "giant, devil-worshipping conglomerates" that control the entertainment industry.
		Troma, which specializes in Z-grade films with such titles as "Bride of Killer Nerd," "Class of Nuke 'Em High," "Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell" and "Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town," also is doing some Internet experimentation of its own.
		For Troma, opening yet another distribution channel is part of its maverick mission to put its 1,000-title movie catalog into as many hands as possible--especially those holding PocketPCs.

		Troma has also paid tribute to none other than Shakespeare, with the recent "Tromio and Juliet," which includes all the romance and tragedy of the original.
		Troma films even have a fan in Janet Maslin, the highly respected film critic of the New York Times.

	Troma's Edge TV
		Troma's Edge TV was a 30 minute television series from Lloyd Kaufman's Troma Studios that unfortunately ran very late on Friday nights and only on the United Kingdom's popular Channel 4 and later on Australia's Comedy Channel.
		Using Troma's patented blend of simulated sex, real nudity and over-the-top gore, we were treated to slightly twisted but genuine social commentary.
		It is still Troma, so it is all dealt with in an entirely silly and decidedly low-brow approach.

		Troma Films scored a fiscal and critical success in 1984 with the release of "The Toxic Avenger." The film recounts the exploits of a humble health club mop boy who is transformed by toxic waste into a hideously deformed crime fighter with superhuman strength and powers.
		Troma Films continued their mission of giving the medium of film back to the people in January 2000 with the creation of the Tromadance Film Festival.
		Troma has emerged as the voice of people who are tired of films like "Titanic" and "Pearl Harbor." Troma fans are those who can't stand to see another preachy, lofty, themed film pontificate about the goodness of mankind.

		This included six or seven punks dressed in full "Class of 1984" style who were sitting in the back of the equipment truck, four of the them proudly displaying a single fake female breast poking through their clothes.
		Continuing the new-technology spin, Kaufman has arranged for a live web-cast to be done from the set starting August 18th, in which Troma fans from around the world can watch a live video feed of the shoot and e-mail Kaufman their directing suggestions.
		Troma is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, but didn't really hit the big-time until Troma founder Kaufman directed "The Toxic Avenger," which exploded onto the film scene in 1983.

	The Oakland Press: Oakland Life: Ann Arbor honoring independent Troma films
		The head of Troma Entertainment, maker of the infamously low-budget and graphic "Toxic Avenger" series (about a superhero morphed by his exposure to toxic waste), "Tromeo and Juliet" and "Class of Nuke 'em High" has made a career of making sick, funny films on the fly.
		The theater is situated between the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University, and students were clamoring for Troma films, she said.
		Kaufman says that, until about 1986, Troma films were "extremely accessible" at local theaters, but thanks to a legal decision allowing film companies to own theaters, releases became more homogenized across the nation.

		And while some of Troma’s crew are younger kids who, due to their age, are still allowed to just "be angry," Troma’s actual employees are sharp.

		Troma is the jalapeño peppers of the cultural pizza.
		Brimming with vomit-splattered severed limbs that spew blood as naked women jiggle their cosmetically enhanced mammaries--and laced with a sophomoric sense of humor that dares you not to be amused--Troma produces movies that directly feed into the decaying morality of this great nation.
		The Clinton Street's Troma Retrospective kicks off on Thursday, April 19, with a screening of The Toxic Avenger (7 pm), the legendary tale of the world's first superhero born of toxic waste and easily one of Troma's best films.

		This was supposed to be Troma's brush with mainstream success and they actually had the financial backing of Namco of Japan (the people who made the original Pac-Man video game).
		It really gives a ton of insight into why Troma has diligently blasted mainstream hollywood films with a more burning passion than ever since this film was released to lukewarm press and fan acceptance.
		Love them or hate them (I guess I'm somewhere in the middle), Troma is here to stay and are as loud, brash, cheesy and uncompromising in their quest to continue making, as they put it "Movies for the Future!!" as they've ever been.

	Troma column!
		Troma, led by "Lucious" Lloyd Kaufman, and "The Enigma" Michael Herz(well, if they were a wrestling tag team, those would be their names), is THE benchmark in independent cinema.
		He is misunderstood(aren't we all?) by the media(like Troma Studios is, in fact, if Toxie got screwed by the MPAA all the time, he would represent a good metaphor for Troma), but is a great hero.
		Troma got a lotta income off of this stuff, and it helped finance many Troma movies.

	DVD Talk Forum - Has Troma ever....released a DVD in widescreen?
		The Stendhal Syndrome, which was released by Troma in the states, is in 1.66:1 non-anamorphic widescreen.
		Then of course the credits end, the image changes to the first scene, and there before your eyes is the blatant, unapologetic, soul-shattering zoom, and the rest of the film is pan and scan.
		One major problem I've had with the Troma released I've picked up (and I've probably bought 20-25 over the years) is that because so many unreleated (and often annoying) extras are packed onto the disc, the quality fo the movie itself's presentation sufferes.

		Staring across from me was a mop and a bucket, which was part of the fixings of the broom closet.
		I find it far more rewarding to receive a letter from a Troma fan than any Oscar or other crappy award the devil worshipping mega conglomerates pump out for every piece of shit Jerry Bruckheimer produces ever could be.
		I worked with a mop inches from my face for about 5 years when we first began Troma, so it was imbedded in my mind.

		Say what you like about Troma's movies (and some of them truly suck), the company has proved to be endlessly resourceful in getting them to audiences without surrendering its independence.
		Troma now produces theatrical cuts of its movies with more gore and goo than ever, because the handful of urban art houses that still show them on the big screen like it that way and don't care about Motion Picture Association of America ratings.
		I met him just after the prestigious Anthology Film Archives in New York held a Troma retrospective in December, but before he headed off to Park City, Utah, in January to host TromaDance, Troma's alternative to the much-mocked excesses of the Sundance Film Festival.
