Tromeo and Juliet
 |
Juliet: Parting is such sweet sorrow. |
 |
William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet... in modern day New York. And, you know, with a little artistic license taken (it's a Troma movie, after all). Written by a young James Gunn.
Tropes used in Tromeo and Juliet include:
- A Date with Rosie Palms
- Artistic License: The ending is... a little different from the original.
- B-Movie
- Brother-Sister Incest
- Disaster Dominoes: Tybalt has his arm ripped while being dragged by a car, and then is decapitated landing on a moving truck's camp. The head lands on a family's car and causes it to crash spectacularly.
- Dysfunction Junction: Does it really need Lampshading?
|
Tromeo: Maybe both of us are warped. |
|
- Fan Service: It's a Troma film, topless girls had to appear.
- Filth: The Capulets and Ques are porn mogul.s
- Fingore: A sex scene goes from "I love fingers" to cutting them with a machete.
|
The Cinema Snob: Looks like this was done when the writer learned foreshadowing, but not subtlety. |
