posted in News |
Lloyd Kaufman and his film company, Troma Entertainment, are virtually synonymous with gross-out B-cinema. After making a name peddling “sexy comedies†with such descriptive titles as Squeeze Play! and The First Turn-On!, Kaufman released The Toxic Avenger in 1984—a twisted love story about a “98-pound weakling†who, upon falling into a vat of toxic sludge, is miraculously transformed into a grotesque superhero with a hot, blind, girlfriend. With this film, Kaufman’s company was reborn as a bastion of blood, guts, and awesomely bad taste.
