Tromeo and Juliet (1996)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg5FgAEFH_s

Co-written by James Gunn (director of Guardians of the Galaxy) Tromeo and Juliet is a romantic comedy loosely adapted from the Shakespeare. The film is set in modern-day Manhattan and follows the original tale faithfully for the most part, except for the predictably Troma use of sex and violence. Tromeo is a filmmaker who falls in love with Juliet, who happens to be the daughter of a business partner who betrayed him. The film is narrated by Lemmy and Motorhead even contributed a song to the soundtrack. In a scene where the character London Arbuckle dives through a window, a stuntman nearly had a fatal accident. When the stuntman first jumped through the window, the sugar glass was too thick to smash. Upon the second take they took the glass out, but the stuntman forgot. He dived full force out the window and seriously injured himself.

Troma presents ESSEX SPACEBIN on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital plus a special double bill with TROMEO & JULIET and Lloyd Kaufman Q&A all on Saturday 18th February.
