I have seen all of the Toxie movies, and I'm guessing 90% of the Troma catalog. Based on this trailer alone, I love the Toxie reboot. And now Troma MUST reboot "Class of Nuke 'em High" and "Surf Nazis Must Die!".
I'm excited for the new Toxie! I want more new Troma!
I'm not feeling it. I could write up a lot more, but I'll summarize that the original is a piece of art from adversity created by and starring a bunch of mostly unknowns on a pretty shoestring budget. This is not that.
I think I watched the sequel at some movie night ages age but honestly don't remember. I remember the original and like it for what it is. You've got to be on the right wavelength going into a Troma movie. It's gross, crude, offensive, and pretty stupid. It has this unhinged manic energy that carries it though. It is like the movie version of outsider art.

The Troma Cinematic Universe. Bring back James Gunn for the Tromeo and Juliet reboot.
A Surf Nazis Must Die reboot is going to trigger MAGA. Which will be them telling on themselves.

Isn't triggering nazis/MAGA/GqP a subtext of "Surf Nazis Must Die"? 🙂

That's the joke.

You know to be honest I don't think I've seen the original. But it's on Prime Video and think I will now. What about the sequel any good?

They are all fun. I celebrate his whole catalog.
