Toxie I was better than II or III. Class of Nuke'Em High I was better than II (hey, the Smithereens RULE!). My favorite Troma film is "Tromeo and Juliet", good enough for the art house theaters and BRAVO, IMO. The one I never got into was "Troma's War", despite it being LLoyd Kaufman's favorite (enjoyed Kaufman's book on cheap filmmaking, BTW). As for "Femme Fontaine, Killer Babe for the CIA", it's like watching a rerun of Magnum, P.I. on late nite TV, except for the lesbian Nazis.

I feel the same way about "Man Who Fell To Earth" that I do about "Liquid Sky". Spent a day with Bowie a few years ago and asked him about some of his film roles, but not THAT one. Figured he was still drinking his own urine at that time. "Walkabout" is a much better Roeg film.
