As Lloyd Kaufman continues to four-wall Vol. 1 around the globe, Troma has already dropped the first trailer for Vol. 2.
Never one to let a pretentious mainstream trend go unpunished (especially when you can potentially double your profits in the process), Lloyd Kaufman joined the ranks of Quentin Tarantino, Peter Jackson, and Lars von Trier by breaking Troma’s latest splatter comedy epic, Return to Nuke ‘Em High into two films. In fact he guaranteed himself an audience for the follow-up by ending Vol. 1 almost in mid-sentence.
At the moment Kaufman’s taking Vol. 1 on a worldwide promo tour, and in his absence Troma has released the first trailer for the forthcoming Vol. 2.
The sort-of sequel, sort-of reboot of 1987’s Class of Nuke ‘Em High, complete with the requisite squashed heads and boobs aplenty, replaces the nuclear power plant located next door to Tromaville High in the original with the Tromorganic food corporation, but the effects are pretty much the same. There’s something sinister and icky going on at Tromorganic, and not only has it infiltrated the school cafeteria, it’s even snuck its way into the town’s pot supply.
The Glee Club’s turned into a gang of violent cretins, while other students begin hallucinating or just plain exploding. Beneath the filthy sex jokes and endlessly slimy visual gags (Troma’s fx people keep getting better, and keep pushing things way out of bounds), this time around there’s actually a plot beneath the splatter and the endless take-no-prisoners satire. Well, at least as close to something resembling a plot as you’re likely to find in a Troma picture.
In a cast that includes Lemmy as the President and Ron Jeremy as God (doesn’t that sound like a perfect world?), the film stars Asta Paredes as an angry socially conscious blogger (and closeted lesbian) and Catherine Corcoran as a rich girl (and closeted lesbian) who’s very nice despite being a rich girl. Amid all the mayhem and mutant babies and giant dicks and flying puke, the two girls finally put two and two together and decide to bring down Tromorganic. Plus they get naked a lot. But that’s where we were left, just hanging there all tense and wondering at the end of Vol. 1. To get a sense of what lay in store down the road watch the trailer here:
One thing’s for certain, it’ll be a hell of a lot funnier than that Nymphomaniac Vol. 2, I’ll tell you that.
