Troma Entertainment is pleased to announce that Canadian video distributor, Video Services Corporation, will release one French-language Troma title per month, commencing with the January 8th release of the Troma’s iconic Toxic Avenger, marking the first time in history that the French-language version of the classic will be available in French Canada.  “We withheld the Toxic Avenger from Quebec until we were sure that province was not breaking away from Canada,” says Troma president Lloyd Kaufman. “Vive Quebec TROMATIQUE!”

This month, VSC will also release English-language versions of Troma’s latest productions, Father’s Day, Purge, and Doomsday County.  In February, VSC will follow up with the French-language version of Troma’s 1986 classic, Class of Nuke ‘Em High, and English-language versions of The Taint and Mr. Bricks: A Heavy Metal Murder Musical.

For every Toxic Avenger there is an equal and opposite Tales From the Crapper.

All that went out the window when I finally got to view the film for the first time. Father’s Day exceeded every expectation I had, Read more…

“Mr. Bricks is by no means a valuable member of society, he’s a criminal and murderer who has done his time in jail, and when he has come out he was anything but a changed man. But even someone as bad as Mr. Bricks can fall in love eventually – with Scarlet (Nicola Fiore), the only human being Mr. Bricks has feelings for. Too bad then that she has been kidnapped. And now Mr. Bricks is going to reclaim her, and not even bullets can stop him …” READ MORE

“The one that started it all! This 80s cult classic begins with Melvin, a nerdy little wimp of a man who works as a janitor at a very dated looking 80s health and fitness club. One day he finds himself to be the victim of a cruel prank. When Melvin is chased around the club by a bunch of bullheaded jocks he inadvertently ends up running outside where he gets covered in toxic waste…”READ MORE

While many panic with the forthcoming 12/21/12 end of the TroMayan calendar, Troma Entertainment is celebrating with the three DVD releases you should see before the end of the world: Mr. Bricks: A Heavy Metal Murder Musical, directed by Travis Campbell and produced by Justin Martell, premiered at Spain’s prestigious Sitges Film Festival and during its limited theatrical release has played at renowned venues such as the Alamo Drafthouse and the San Diego Comic-Con. Bob Freville’s Hemo, Troma’s answer to the Twilight series has been hailed by Kotori magazine as a “masterpiece of drug cinema.”  Finally available in the US for the first time, this release of The Toxic Avenger contains the long sought-after 98 minute version originally cut for the Japanese market.
