Synopsis A surprisingly moving retelling of the Bard's famous romantic tragedy in fine Troma fashion, complete with a Manhattan setting, gratuitous violence, body-piercing, and a hard-driving alternative soundtrack. A modern, punk adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic. Told irreverently, this film attempts to impact the viewer in the same way theatre-goers were effected in Shakespeare's time. Tromeo & Juliet Directed by Lloyd Kaufman. Coinciding with the genesis of the Internet and DVD eras, Tromeo and Juliet also featured a more ambitious scale in both execution and promotion than before, featuring a sprawling and comparatively complicated narrative and a PR blitz that wound up converting a new generation entirely unaware of the charms of Toxic Avengers antics. Their respective offspring, Juliet and Tromeo, get married and travel through Manhattan’s underground in search of love, violence, and the American Way. Kaufman was the all-around finest in-house Troma production up to that time (as it probably still is). Romeo + Juliet Trailer 'Shakespeares famous play is updated to the hip modern suburb of Verona still retaining its original dialogue.'from IMDB Set in California and using guns instead of swords (the guns are named after the sword types), it keeps the original dialogue but modernizes most other things in a more unique way. Cappy Capulet and Monty Que are business partners in a pornographic film deal. The denizens of Troma Films have no problem pilfering the bards work in this trashy rendition whose tag line.
