The Huffington Post features China essay by Lloyd Kaufman

It’s Not Me, It’s You: My Break Up With China 
written by Lloyd Kaufman, (with Taylor Sprow)

The current atrocities committed at the hands of the Chinese government are unacceptable and I find myself unable to look past them for the sake of my dream: to make a movie in China.”– Lloyd Kaufman

“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like an independent filmmaker scorned.” 
-William Congreve (sort of)
Ni hau ma from Tromaville!
Fuck you, China, and the Han Dynasty horse you rode in on! You have double-crossed me!
In our vastly interconnected world of quick clicks and instant communication, thinking globally is pretty much the only option. In a second you can be connected with someone on the other side of the planet. Here at Troma, we are well aware of what it means to function on a global scale. Without our fans from all over the world, we would not have been able to survive 42 years so far in this elitist hellmouth we call the film industry.

RETURN to RETURN TO NUKE ‘EM HIGH AKA VOLUME 2 UPDATE

We are Tromanically thrilled to announce that after all this time spent making diligent edits and adding pick-up shots, celebrity cameos and Tromazing animations in order to craft Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Volume 2 into the masterpiece that it is, we have finally reached a picture lock!

Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Volume 2 will now begin the important steps in finishing in order to polish Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Volume 2 as it moves forward in the final stages of post-production, mastering the sound design and color correction. These two critical steps will heighten the cinematic experience for the audiences of Volume 2 and elevate the Tromatic trademarks that are so critical, as in the surreality, the science-fiction, the grotesque and sexy by bringing the audio and visual elements into the Tromasphere that we have strived to create in the past 42 years with subtlety and precision.

We anticipate Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Volume 2 to be completed in October 2016. Thank you for your patience! You have all been Tromarrific!

We make theatrical movies because you our fans enjoy seeing our films in a communal environment. Thanks to you fans contacting your local movie theatres, Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 played in many theatres around the U.S.! Let’s do it again! Please contact your local theaters and tell them you want them to show Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Volume 2, and that Lloyd Kaufman and The Toxic Avenger might be able to attend in person and host a Q & A, schedule permitting!

Toxie loves you!
