Troma Entertainment, the longest running truly independent film company in America, proudly presents the World Premiere of Lloyd Kaufman’s highly anticipated second installment of his 2-part event film Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Vol.2 at the prestigious, world renowned Museum of the Moving Image as part of the “Nuke ‘Em High Day” series on July 15th, it was announced today by Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma Entertainment and creator of The Toxic Avenger.
“We are honored to have Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Vol.2 receive such a tremendous World Premiere presented by the Museum of the Moving Image! The Troma Team and I have been working on this film for the past 7 years. We put our sweat, blood and slime into the production and can’t wait for the world to see it! Vol.2 truly is as my partner and VP of Troma Entertainment, Michael Herz says, “The best Troma movie ever made!” stated Lloyd Kaufman, Director of Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Vol.2
Quentin Tarantino has been a fan and friend of Troma for years, and when he suggested to Lloyd Kaufman he should create an “Event Film,” Kaufman took note. “Michael Herz and I decided that to mark Troma’s 40th year we, too, would produce an ‘Event Film’ in two volumes just like Quentin did,” says Kaufman, “except slightly less lavish in the budget area.” Return to Nuke ‘Em High: Vol. 1 & 2, directed by Lloyd Kaufman, is a hilarious, thoughtful sci-fi “Event Film” with themes ripped straight from today’s headlines: the contamination and degradation of the world’s food supply, rampant bullying, and LGBTQ love triumphing over prejudice and violence.
he film, a revisiting of Troma’s 1986 Class of Nuke ‘Em High is in the same vein as other classics such as Class of 1984, Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, and Carrie, but seen through the unique vision of Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma Team. Welcome to Tromaville High School where, unfortunately, the glee club has mutated into a vicious gang of Cretins. Chrissy and Lauren, two innocent lesbian lovers, must fight not only the Cretins, mutants and monsters but also the evil Tromorganic Foodstuffs Conglomerate. Can they and Kevin the Wonder Duck save Tromaville High School and the world?
This TROMZING World Premiere will be presented at the Museum of the Moving Image on July 15th at 8:00pm. Preceding the World Premiere of Vol.2 will be a screening of the original cult classic Class of Nuke ‘Em High at 4:00 pm and part 1 of Lloyd Kaufman’s Event Film Return to Nuke ‘Em High Vol.1 at 6:00 pm.
