Return To Nuke 'Em High Volume 1 (2013)

One of the longest active reel independent film companies in the world is none other than Troma Entertainment who has been making films for well over 40 years. After talking briefly to longtime president of the company Lloyd Kaufman, I decided that I would sign up for Troma Now (watch.troma.com) and check out Return To Nuke 'Em High Volume 1 as today's film which was released in 2013 and was directed and features Kaufman in the film. A lot of time has passed since the disastrous events of Class Of Nuke 'Em High 3, but has Tromaville really learned since then? A group of students begins investigating things at a local dairy when weird things start happening to students who ate the tacos. The film stars Asta Paredes (Shades Of Blue) as Chrissy Goldberg,  Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier) as Lauren, Clay von Carlowitz (The Shadow Scarf) as Eugene, The late Lemmy Kilmister (Tromeo & Juliet) as The President, Zac Amico (Amityville: Vanishing Point) as Zack, Babette Bombshell (Grindsploitation 4: Meltsploitation) as Principal Westly, Tara E. Miller (Cool As Hell) as Rachel Ruysch, Stefan Dezil (Shadow Of A Gun) as Slater, Debbie Rochon (Slime City Massacre) as Coach Kotter, Dan Snow (The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie) as Cigar Face, Mark Quinnette (Battle) as Michelangelo, Reiki Tsuno as Rembrandt, and Jim Sheppard (Battledogs) as Raphael.

What is there to say about a Troma film that hasn't already been said before? I love Troma films because it's the very embodiment of creative freedom without the pressures of Hollywood telling you what is acceptable and what is not. The film has all of the schlock moments that you would expect from a Troma film like the penis creature that melts a couple who are having sex or what about this sequence featuring our two main girls with one who is pregnant (thanks to the toxic material) and shoots milk out of her breasts as a weapon while the other one grows a giant penis that she beats people with. I also love how when the cretins were normal they sucked at singing, but since mutating they become the glee team they wished to be. The film also has it's ear to the ground of current events with Coach Sandusky who is also a priest that loves... well you know what. Troma has always been ahead of the curve (sorta) when it comes to the real social issues as they do a great job exploring it in every film. The film is the right amount of cheese that is just so easy to enjoy and as you just immerse yourself in all of the schlock that makes them who they are. The cinematography is great and I laughed at one point because they are still using the car flipping scene from Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. which by the way is an epic one, but it's funny how they try to make it blend with the rest of the film. I loved the casting in the film and I definitely look forward to Volume 2 which is why I am going to give the film an B- for a final grade or in the terms of Cheeseball Cinema grading I am giving it an 4 for a final grade (1=A-List Hollywood, 5= Cheesiest film of all time).
