Notorious schlock and psychotronic production company
Troma (known for such classics as
Toxic Avenger and
Class of Nuke 'Em High) hails
Tromeo and Juliet, its contemporary adaptation of
Shakespeare's love
tragedy, a "thrill-a-minute, body-piercing, computer sex, sapphic, car-crashing extravaganza." Set in New York City, the tale centers on the Ques and the Capulets. The bitter feud begins when father Capulet steals father
Que's Silky Films production company. As enemies, the two warring clans are always doing horrible things to each other.
Tromeo Que is a computer nerd who spends much time fondling himself in front of his favorite sexy CD-ROMs until he falls in love with lovely
Juliet and proposes to her while she sits upon a toilet. The film, seemingly aimed at adolescent boys, features violence, considerable gore, profanity, vulgar situations (featuring buckets of fake vomit), and the graphic depiction of body piercing. (Of course, if it didn't, it wouldn't be a
Troma film.)
