Tromeo and Juliet is a cult-classic film released in 1996 by the famed B-movie production company, Troma pictures. Famous for mixing the high and low brow, the film contains glorified violence, hyper-sexuality and the trademark Troma B-Movie style, wrapped around a Shakespearean template.
The punk rock adaptation of the William Shakespeare classic, Romeo and Juliet, the movie makers attempted to use gore and sexuality to shock the viewer in much the same way as it is believed actors might have done in Shakespeare's time (but with proper adjustments to content to suit the times).
The movie stars Jane Jensen, Will Keenan (a frequent Troma actor), Valentine Miele, Sean Gunn and Maximillian Shaun. Lemmy, of Motörhead fame, narrates. It was adapted by James Gunn and Lloyd Kaufman, and also directed by Kaufman and, uncredited, Gunn.
