Jane Jensen, Will Keenan, Valentine Miele.
Shakespeare, an old letch who routinely parodied himself, would have loved
this
latest Troma Team spoof that is so much more than mere bare bodkins and fart
jokes.
Granted, this flick does stick to the Troma format, made popular by classics
like
Toxic Avenger and Teenage Catgirls in Heat, and is replete with
gratuitous
everything and tubs o' fake pus, but it does move this independent studio's
work
up a notch by including an actual plot, amazingly good actors, and a
surprising amount
of substance. Lemmy from Motorhead makes a great Chorus while Jensen and
Keenan reek
chemistry and a knack for iambic pentameter. Miele's death scene is, believe
it or
not, heartwarming. But there is still plenty for the sleaze lover in us all,
including
dead urban critters, a three-foot penis monster, a decapitation, and a
"real-time"
nipple piercing. Plus, this video version includes interviews with Kaufman,
as well
as a vomit-inducing out-take.
Now, if they could just find a way to put this on-stage....
