During a chance encounter at a costume party one night, the two would-be lovers lock eyes, and start down a tragic path that eventually leads to escalating acts of violence between their family and friends. As we flash forward to 1996, we're introduced to Monty's son Tromeo, and Cappy's daughter Juliet, who have little knowledge of one another's existence, despite the blood feud raging between their families. After a bitter divorce, Monty was left a poor, destitute alcoholic, having given up his rights to the successful business he founded to the partner he unknowingly trusted.

He eventually took on a business partner named Cappy Capulet (Maximillian Shaun), who quickly made the moves on Monty's wife, and a play for full control of the business. During the 1970's, the patriarch of the Que family, Monty (Earl McKoy) created a successful business making soft-core productions under the banner Silky Films. Loosely based on the original story by playwright William Shakespeare, Tromeo & Juliet tells the story of two feuding families in the slums of Manhattan, called the Ques and the Capulets. I hope William Shakespeare had a good sense of humor, because his literary classic has officially been mutilated beyond repair. As with any Troma film, this wicked take on the Shakespeare classic contains gratuitous nudity, gross-out humor, outrageous dialog, and enough severed appendages to line the sidewalk of five city blocks. I personally enjoyed Slither a great deal, but I'm not here to comment on the merits of Gunn's later work, since the subject of this review is his first stab at notoriety with Tromeo & Juliet. For those unfamiliar with Gunn's work since the release of Tromeo & Juliet, he went on to write both live-action Scooby-Doo films, the Dawn of the Dead remake, and directed the box-office bomb Slither.
The latest schlock-shock venture to arrive on the Blu-ray format is a joint venture between Troma co-owner Lloyd Kaufman and writer James Gunn. If you're not currently a fan of their growing film library, or you've never heard of the studio itself, I'd suggest you tread lightly through an introduction to their material, since it's not a genre with widespread appeal. Troma Entertainment is a long-standing independent film studio specializing in exploitation cinema of the most extreme form. The long lost original draft of William Shakespeare's renowned play has been adapted for the screen courtesy of Troma Entertainment.
