#RETURN TO NUKE EM HIGH VOLUME 2 PENIS MOVIE#
callousness - “Hey! Let’s go shoot up a movie theater!” “It’s just another school shooting! CNN doesn’t even cover them anymore!” - seem like desperate barrel-bottom scraping.ĭie-hard Troma buffs may be amused by all of this, and by the wink-wink references to such studio icons as the Toxic Avenger and Sgt. And the sporadic attempts at shocking the audience with non-P.C. Most of the jokes would require remedial education to even qualify as sophomoric.
#RETURN TO NUKE EM HIGH VOLUME 2 PENIS SERIES#
Kaufman and co-scripters Travis Campbell and Derek Dressler have cobbled together a scenario that has something to do with glee-club members who are mutated into murderous punkers, and something else to do with the budding romance between a lonely rich girl (Catherine Corcoran) who is perhaps too fond of her pet duck, and a feisty blogger (Asta Paredes) determined to shed light on the dark secrets of Tromorganic.īut, really, the patchwork plot is merely an excuse for Kaufman to string together a loose-knit series of scenes involving gory mayhem, pinchpenny production values, low-rent special effects, topless coeds, softcore sex, juvenile social satire, gross-out sight gags, supporting-player scenery chewing (including Kaufman himself as a Tromorganic plant boss) and, fleetingly, a young woman who grows a penis huge enough to be used as a blunt-force weapon. Unfortunately, it has been replaced by Tromorganic Foodstuffs, Inc., a food-processing plant whose contaminated products are routinely served, with dire results, at Tromaville High. In this follow-up, the power plant is long gone.
The term “freewheeling” does not begin to describe the slapdash, anything-goes quality of the screenplay co-written by Troma mogul Kaufman, who returned to the director’s chair for the first time in eight years to oversee this kinda-sorta sequel to his 1986 “Class of Nuke ‘Em High.” The original film - which spawned two earlier sequels - focused on violent shenanigans at Tromaville High School, the hunting ground for a mutant creature generated by toxic waste from a nearby nuclear power plant. Such over-the-top tastelessness is very much an acquired taste, although the Troma fanbase conceivably could push the pic into profit.
Rabid fans who delight in the wretched excess - or, if you prefer, excessive wretchedness - of Lloyd Kaufman’s infamous Troma schlock factory will doubtless embrace “Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1” with all the fervent appreciation that a more conventional cinephile might reserve for a fully restored edition of “The Magnificent Ambersons.” Other viewers, especially those unaccustomed to Troma’s output, will likely be befuddled, repulsed, disgusted and/or painfully bored by this aggressively offensive and purposefully cheesy horror romp.
