That was an excellent one.

Memorable, crazy movie

just watch it!

The acting in this movie is really good.

I was exposed to this film last night. I feel both like my life is more complete AND like I'll never get back that weird little bit in my soul ever again. I'm not sure I've experienced that phenomena before. This film is gloriously terrible. I'm glad I watched it, despite possibly being scarred for life. "What doesn't kill you makes you stranger". I think they did a fantastic job of doing a terrible job, and the performances were pretty disturbingly well done for the most part, especially the main...guy. I think my favorite part might be the "continuity" bit, which is funny because it was one of the least over-the-top funny moments...for this movie. I was also really disturbed by the number of physically attractive actors in this film considering the bizarre, messed and/or stupid characters they played. It made me uncomfortable in a good/bad/confusing way, which I felt ultimately added to the specatacle.

After the massive success of Tromeo and Juliet, Lloyd Kaufman knew the direction his movies, as well as Troma, needed to go That direction is hardcore exploitation. After all those ridiculous reality shows made it big, Lloyd probably thought, why the hell not? A Troma movie about the production of "a Troma movie", dedicated to all of those who are dedicated to Troma. Lloyd also knew that he had to top Tromeo and Juliet, at least as far as shock value goes. Just one thing, More blood!! More blood!! The director of this "Troma movie" is played by Kaufman himself, Lloyd casting himself as a blind director is too hilarious for words. Trent Haaga makes an electrifying, first impression as Jerry, an over enthusiastic Troma fan who works on the set. Jerry loves B-cinema, especially Troma movies, so, one might appreciate his enthusiasm. Jerry's even met a special lady, Jennifer, on the set, but one problem, a slick, yet creepy, Spielberg/pickle lover, named Casey has eyes for the same girl. Meanwhile, Larry Benjamin (Lloyd) is driving himself crazy trying to unleash one more Troma movie (art) on an unsuspecting world. Things would probably go smoother if not for disgruntled frat boys, a talentless cast, a worthless crew, and all sorts of freaks with all sorts of issues. Normally, directing a Toxic Avenger sequel revolving around rape, and Toxie aborting his mother, would be no problem for a blind man, but now there's a killer on the set, Killing off the cast, hence the fake-looking blood. The police should probably do something, because all of this is screwing up the continuity even worse. Unlike a Baltimore director, who shall remain nameless, Lloyd Kaufman gives his fans exactly what they crave, every single time, Although, this time is some what of an exaggeration of that fact, which is honestly a little scary. To simplify things, Terror Firmer is like The Toxic Avenger meets Pink Flamigo's meets Dead-Alive. I don't care if you have seen them all, you'll feel compelled to look away at least once while viewing this monstrosity. Terror Firmer is everything we love about B-cinema, unrealistic, offensive, sleaze... well, that is what we love, right? That's what I thought. Terror Firmer is the quintessential, cult classic, the finale, closing out the century that gave us B-cinema, and Troma, of course. Thank's again, Lloyd. 10/10

This is considered to be a Troma masterpiece. After seeing it, I suppose I can see why. A Troma film is usually cheap, bloody, and hilarious. This was all that and more. There is literally no limit to the blood, guts, excrement, vomit, explicit sex, death, female full frontal nudity, and male full frontal nudity herein. The film is graphic, horrific, shocking, brutal, and explicit from beginning to end. Is this pornography? Well, not quite. Sure, many may consider it to be, but to me, it's just another major milestone in gross-out cinema. However, can it be topped? I really don't know. I can't really think of many films that feature this much sex and gore in equal amounts. Still, this is entertaining! Sure, it's deeply depraved and shocking, but I enjoyed it. The film wasn't meant to be anything more than what it is. Overall, I'm happy I saw it and I'd happily watch this with my friends, provided that the friends I watch it with are prepared to bare witness to the endless grotesques on display herein. I recommend it, provided that you can handle it.

Terror Firmer starts with a guy (Ariel Wizman) having his leg ripped off & being beaten with it, someone is killed using breakfast cereal to which a dumb cop notes 'we have a cereal killer on our hands' & a scene where a pregnant woman (Oakley Stevenson) has her baby ripped out of her stomach... The latest instalment of the Toxic Avenger is currently being filmed by Troma on location in New York. Blind director (art imitating life for Troma studio's?) Larry Benjamin (Lloyd Kaufman, also co-writer, producer & director) is at the helm, Christine (Debbie Rochon) is staring alongside Toxie (Roy David) & Nicolai (Darko Malesh). The crew are a patchwork collection of insane dysfunctional weirdo idiots who were the cheapest available (art imitating life again?), Jennifer (Alyce LaTourelle) is the new sexy P.A. while both the boom mike man Casey (Will Keenan, also associate producer) & the special effects guy Jerry (Trent Haaga) have crushes on her. One day on set the 'Toddster' (Gary Hrbek), a sound-man, quits in a fit of rage. That night, while at a party, the mysterious killer shoves a funnel up his bum, stuffs a load of cocaine in it, breaks a bottle, repeatedly stabs him & removes some of his brains. Shorty after the films main investor Jacob Gelman (Joe Fleishaker) is brutally murdered with the aid of an escalator, it seems New York's latest sicko serial killer has a vendetta against Troma's latest production...The first thing I should say is that I am aware that Terror Firmer is, according to the IMDb, available in three different cuts, a 98 minute 'R' rated cut, a 114 minute 'Unrated' one & a further extended 125+ minute edition on the DVD with a very significant time difference between all three, I am absolutely positive that I saw the 'Unrated' edition (we don't have 'R' & 'Unrated' here in the UK) & that is the one I will be basing my comments on. The script by Kaufman, Patrick Cassidy & Douglas Buck was inspired by the autobiography 'All I Need to Know About Film-making I Learned From the Toxic Avenger' & is as cheap, simple, tasteless, boring, dull & disgusting as one would expect. This is not a film to take home & show to your parents, that's for sure. Kaufman takes huge delight & revels in coming up with disgusting gross out gags & gore scenes, from poo eating, most of the cast gets to vomit at some point, fart jokes, rape reversal, a fat naked guy running through Manhattan & Times Square, pickle masturbation, bodily function gags, drug taking, limb severing, hermaphrodite bashing, child abusing, penis stretching & head squashing. I have to confess I didn't find anything in Teror Firmer funny or worthy of the description of entertainment. At all.Director Kaufman makes Terror Firmer live up to Troma's pathetically low standards, it extremely poorly made, the cast annoy immensely as does the whole weak story which is held together by it's bad taste gags & gore. There are constant nods & homages to other Troma films, character's dressed up, posters all over the place in the background & various actors have roles in this who have appeared in other Troma films. Talk about self advertising & at one point Troma's phone number & website address appears on screen as part of another unfunny joke. There are some OK gore scenes, there are some head squashing, leg severing, foetus removing, hand chopping, escalator mutilating, people exploding, brain shooting, finger severing & brain removing which is the one & only reason Terror Firmer doesn't get 1 star.Terror Firmer probably didn't have a budget & it shows, it very poorly made throughout & becomes a chore to sit through. According to the IMDb Terror Firmer opened open across the USA on Halloween 31 October 1999 on a whole 2 screens & made a whooping $1,434 so I'd imagine it made twice it's budget back within a week! The acting is awful by everyone involved.Terror Firmer is terrible, if you like Troma films & I'm sure there is a market out there then I can wholeheartedly recommend this. However if you are looking for a decent film than stay well clear, one to avoid if you have any taste or delicate moral sensibilities.
