Tainted tacos have caused toxic transformations and immediate death to some of Tromaville’s school children and we aren’t talking about the tainted teenage twats of Tromaville’s high school sweethearts. Letting it supply the school’s lunch is even worse! As all hell broke loose in the Return to Nuke ‘Em High, we Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High to pick up the pieces of where we left off. Putting an organic food factory on top of a nuclear wasteland wasn’t a good idea. The toxic nuclear power plant that once stood in Tromaville High’s backyard in the 1980’s has been replaced by Tromorganic food supplies. “What’s going on at Nuke ‘Em High, what’s going on?” The ongoing saga of the Tromaville High School comes to its thirty year culmination (until the next sequel) in a film three years in the making. And in 2017 those retards who didn’t graduate with the rest of their class, repeat the same year over. They returned in 2013 for their final senior year. In 1994 the Good, the Bad and the Subhumanoid’s completed their junior year. In 1991 the sophomores had a Subhumanoid Meltdown.
2 – 2018ġ986 brought in a freshman Class like no other.
Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High aka Vol. While it may not necessarily win over any new Troma fans, Kaufman’s latest is hands down the best film out of Tromaville in a very long time and I can’t wait to see what depths of madness and perversion we’re in for one Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 2 arrives later this year.Review of “Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High aka Vol. Of course, no Troma film would be complete without its star-studded cameos and Return to Nuke ‘Em High features several awesome appearances that prove Troma’s influence isn’t only felt in the cult film world either.Ī trashterpiece that perfectly embodies and celebrates everything that Troma Entertainment has stood for in the industry for the last four decades, Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 delivers with a cavalcade of calculated insanity chock-full of anything you could possibly want in a classic Troma film: buckets of goo, gore and slime galore as well as a razor-sharp social commentary that isn’t afraid to pull punches with a ton of politically incorrect gags and goofball moments to keep the laughs coming from start to finish. The rest of the supporting cast members all get their moments in the spotlight too, particularly a raucous glee club group that goes berserk after eating some of Tromorganic’s tacos and break out into song right before they’re about to unleash holy hell on their fellow classmates.
As relative newcomers to the industry, both Corcoran and Paredes have an uncanny sense for physical comedy that was something of a marvel and their performances were truly top-notch. For anyone who thought Troma or Kaufman might be going soft after all these years, think again as Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 proves that no one makes badass B-movies like Uncle Lloydie anymore- and quite possibly, no one ever will either.įor his latest sequel, Kaufman puts his talented leads, Catherine Corcoran and Asta Paredes, through the ringer and both take each and every ridiculous moment like a champ. A hilarious and thoughtful social satire that hits all the proverbial Troma beats: there’s tons of nudity, gobs of gooey gore, a steamy love story with some slapstick comedy, outlandish violence and a gaggle of fart jokes thrown in for good measure. Suffice to say, there’s ridiculous and then there’s Troma- and Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 just might be the beloved brand’s best- and ballsiest- film to date (if you can imagine that). Of course, there’s more than meets the eye to Tromorganic (headed up by Kaufman himself) and soon enough, Tromaville High has “Gleetins” running amok, students growing oversized penises, cases of duck rape, radioactive tacos- oh and let’s not forget that eternal badass, Lemmy from Motörhead, is playing president too. Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 is an absurdly entertaining slapstick gore-fest that also manages to effectively pass along a timely message or two along the way.Īlmost 20 years since we last checked in with the kids of Tromaville High, Return to Nuke ‘Em High finds the latest class of students dealing with the dangers of "going green" when the Tromorganic Foodstuffs company moves into town, pushing their new "green" food on the unsuspecting high schoolers to gauge how the youth of America will react to their products. While it may have been a few years since we last saw beloved independent horror pioneer Lloyd Kaufman get behind a camera in a directorial capacity, Tromaville’s founding father hasn’t missed a step with his latest.
