It is the third major film version of the play, following a 1936 film and a 1968 film. Brian Dennehy, John Leguizamo, Harold Perrineau, Pete Postlethwaite, Paul Sorvino and Diane Venora also star in supporting roles. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes in the title roles of two teenagers who fall in love, despite their being members of feuding families. It is a modernized adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet. This is still Troma after all, even if it is a step above their usual b-budget greatness.William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (often shortened to Romeo + Juliet) is a 1996 romantic crime tragedy film directed, co-produced, and co-written by Baz Luhrmann. Nudity? Of course that will also be covered including your now typical girl on girl scene. Literally nothing is off limits for 102 minutes of this one. And when they aren't trying to gross you out, they are throwing offbeat incest jokes and any other bit of humor at you in any attempt at making you laugh. The action is non-stop from beginning to end in true Troma fashion with all the beheadings and comic book gore they can cram into every frame. Well, except this time around it is about stealing the rights to a porn film company by the Capulets from the Montaques. And the whole story, and it is just as you know of the Shakespeare tragedy is narrated by the one and only Lemmy (RIP). To be honest, the whole house of Que and Capulet gangs are all such an oddball assortment of piercings, murder and plain strange that they can only be outdone by the next. Sean Gunn, yes, James brother, plays an insane Sammy Capulet. The offbeat characters are the stars of this one for sure.

Shakespeare + Troma turns out to be one hell of a ride. Yes, before their was " The Guardians of the Galaxy" a certain James Gunn was lending his dark sense of humor to the home of independent film. I had seen this years ago of course, but with " The Suicide Squad" coming out today, I figured I better remind you that many Hollywood stars got their start with Troma.
