BUY RETURN TO NUKE EM HIGH VOLUME 2 MOVIE
To beat a dead horse with my reviews, I want to praise the hell out of this movie for relying heavily on practical effects. I enjoyed Troma more for their violence, facepalming one-liners and silly characters. Through like 3 sex scenes and 2 masturbation ones with goofy ADR’d sound effects I was begging “Okay okay, let’s get on with it”. It isn’t that I don’t like some nudity or a good sex scene in my Troma film, but these scenes and their jokes and gags feel quite pointless and repetitive. The movie gets off to a rough 20 minutes that it luckily settles down from. One of my biggest issues with the film is that it has an incredible obsession with having crazy ridiculous sex scenes. It wasn’t 80s cheap video, but it was modern cheap video with the same type of effects, acting and tropes that made those original films so charming to its fans. Without crutching on trying to match an aesthetic, the Return To Nuke ‘Em High felt very much like a natural continuation of the original Troma Films of the 1980s. Upfront, I was really surprised how this film turned out in a certain aspect. It then becomes up to two blogging lovers Chrissy and Lauren to stand up against them and get things going back to however normal may be at Tromaville High. When it bleeds into Taco Tuesday, the glee club gets transformed into the evil Cretins, wreaking havoc on the town and school. The plant has been apparently redone as an organic foods plant, but that’s only a cover as there’s still toxic problems. Welcome back to Tromaville High! Almost 30 years ago, this high school was the victim of some nuclear mutations and destruction due to a plant being right next door. And while this film is indeed a 4 th venture into the series, its very much a soft reboot as it does restart the story and share some similar events in its origin as its predecessor. But, as this film starts with a recap that swears up and down this is cannon and not a remake, it looks like those 2 didn’t matter when it came to this film. For some reason, I’ve never ventured to its 2 sequels. Cheap, sleezy, goofy, fun and delivering plenty of outrageous gore and laughs. I was a pretty big fan of the original film (maybe my favorite Troma movie), it serves up Troma at its best. Return To Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 is the first part of the ceremonious return of Lloyd Kaufman directing one of his most iconic Troma series.
