TROMEO AND JULIET FULL MOVIE MOVIE
Also pattering around at the fringes of the movie is a roly-poly pedophilic priest.Īs much as Troma movies revel in splattery regurgitations, they are even fonder of bouncing body parts. His final dying request is that Tromeo give him a juicy goodbye kiss. There is also a Mercutio, but his name is Murray Martini, and he spends much of his time hanging out with his lowlife friends at a New York City tattoo and piercing parlor. When Tromeo first spies Juliet, he croons: ''It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night/ Like a rich barbell in a thrasher's ear.'' A narrator introduces each of the play's acts by muttering some phrases of pseudo-Shakespearean nonsense in a terminally disgusted Rodney Dangerfield-like voice.
The movie, which opens today at Embassy 2, 3, 4, has poetry to match its sex and gore. When Juliet finally lashes back at her evil dad, her weapons include a vibrator, two sanitary napkins, a hair drier and some ferociously wielded bobby pins. Instead of comforting his daughter when she screams at night, Juliet's lustful father calls her a slut and has her shackled inside a custom-made Plexiglas cage. Poor Juliet is afflicted with ''Exorcist''-style nightmares, in which her pregnant belly splits open and spews out a mixture of popcorn and rodents. ‘Drive My Car’: In this quiet Japanese masterpiece, a widower travels to Hiroshima to direct an experimental version of Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya.”.‘Passing’: Set in the 1920s, the movie centers on two African American women, friends from childhood, who can and do present as white.‘Spencer’: Kristen Stewart stars as an anguished, rebellious Princess Diana in Pablo Larraín’s answer to “The Crown.”.‘Summer of Soul’: Stevie Wonder, Mahalia Jackson, Mavis Staples and others shine in Questlove’s documentary about the Harlem Cultural Festival.Scott and Manohla Dargis, selected their favorite movies of the year. But once Tromeo fixes Juliet with a gaze of cow-eyed worship, Juliet realizes that she really likes boys. He spends hours glued to his home computer screen lapping up CD-ROM pornography, while she has been the plaything of her family's heavily tattooed, multiply pierced lesbian live-in cook. Tromeo Que (Will Keenan) and Juliet Capulet (Jane Jensen) are not exactly innocents when they first lock eyes during a masked ball at which Tromeo shows up dressed as a black-and-white spotted cow. When, wearing her bridal gown, she swivels around to face him and chirpingly explains, ''It's only acne,'' and whoops, there goes his lunch! And in ''Tromeo and Juliet,'' a deliriously grossed-out parody of Shakespeare, Juliet, a porn mogul's vegetarian daughter, goes to great lengths to empty the iron stomach of her fiance, a nerdy billionaire meat packer whom her family is forcing her to marry.Īfter trying almost everything to sicken him, she finally succeeds by imbibing a potion that turns her into a snorting gray-snouted pig with a long droopy tail. It's never really spoken of, but it's ever-present, making this film a much bigger statement on America in the '80s than it appears at its outset.Whoops! As even casual followers of the B-movie spoofs from Troma Entertainment must be aware, none of this scrappy little company's films would be complete without a brightly hued regurgitation or two, or three, or four, usually in colors like green and purple. The cast includes Zander Schloss of Circle Jerks, as well as an appearance by Circle Jerks as a nightclub band.įor all its goofy humor, "Repo Man" also depicts an underlying paranoia, a sillier representation of the pervading unease in America in the '80s during the Cold War. The soundtrack to "Repo Man" is probably the best soundtrack ever produced, so much so that it's even spawned its own tribute album. In a surreal turn of events, the repo men find themselves competing with rival repo men and secret agents to repossess a 1964 Chevy Malibu with a $20,000 bounty - as well as the bodies of radioactive aliens in its trunk.
In one of his earliest film roles, Emilio Estevez gets himself canned from his grocery store job only to fall in with repo man Bud (played by Harry Dean Stanton), who offers him a new job. Alex Cox may be the king of punk rock filmmakers, as evidenced by his numerous entries on this list (as well as several not on it), but he would still retain this title had 1984's "Repo Man" been the only film of his career.
