I know it's weird to say this on the internet but I absolutely hate every Troma film.

Parts of Toxic Avenger are amusing but everything else is unwatchable boring trash.

I must admit that Nuke Em High was a guilty pleasure. The rest of Troma however I will avoid like the plague.

Toxic Avenger IV: Citizen Toxie is the worst movie ever.

Big toxie fan... also a big fan of Nuke'em High. Plus I like Lloyd Kaufman because he's so good at shameless self promotion.

What's Killer Tomatoes like? I've only ever seen the cartoon.

I tried watching Nuke'em High. Got through the title sequence and I shut it off. I just don't have time to watch movies this bad. I normally like campy stuff but this stuff was beyond that.

Downloaded Tromeo and Juliet....and didn't even get through it, and this is coming from a guy who has watched Manos: The Hands of Fate with out Joel and the Bots. I have Return of the Killer Tomatoes, thanks to a certain Forum Fraggle, and it's pretty funny...is it Troma?

The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes movies aren't Troma.

I enjoy some Troma flicks, particularly what Kaufman has a big part in. The first and fourth Toxic Avenger movies are a blast (love Eastman's cameo in the latter), as is Terror Firmer. Used to be pretty big on Tromeo & Juliet, but the last time I watched it, which was probably the fifth or sixth time, I thought, "Ye gods, this is so boring." Which I kind of felt about Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead the second or third time I watched it. So there's not a lot of lasting appeal there, it seems; plus, lately I guess I've been feeling a little more rotten for enjoying such filth, ha. So my own personality has changed a bit over the past few years since becoming a fan of some of Troma's flicks.

I'm a HUGE Troma fan, obviously. I love the first two toxic avengers but hate three and four, but four is cool because it has Kevin Eastman in it I'm also a toxic crusader fan and own all of the action figures, dvds, games etc. I like some other troma movies like tromeo and juliet, and poultrygeist. Killer Condom was funny too. Lloyd Kaufman is awesome though, he's a favorite.

My all time fav Troma movie has to be the first Toxic Avenger, but I liked the rest of the series, especially Citizen Toxie. Nuke 'Em High is pretty good, I haven't seen all of Sgt. Kabukiman, but what I've seen, it's pretty good. Decampitated is actually quite fun, if anyone ever ventures to give it a watch.

Oh, and let's not forget that Cannibal!: the Musical is a Troma film! And that's beyond awesome!

Hey guys, Troma is trying to raise money for their next film, Return to the Class of Nuke 'Em High on Kickstarter.

I tried watching Toxic Avenger once and I didn't make it five minutes in before turning it off. The acting was sooooo bad. I can usually tolerate that in a movie, but this was way too horrific for me to endure.

Not sure I wanna give Troma any more money after the $#!7 they pulled with Astron-6 and their movie Father's Day—which is way better than any Lloyd Kaufman movie, I might add.
