Terror Firmer: Special Edition



(1999) ***½ (so bad it’s just so good)

Welcome to Tromaville, home of the Toxic Avenger! A homicidal lunatic is picking off the cast & crew of the new Toxic Avenger movie they are filming. This mysterious woman keeps showing up and killing in the most bizarre of ways. Really, that’s it.

For those of us familiar with Troma films we know the name means cheesy, but it’s just the right kind of cheesy film that crosses the line into entertainment. Terror Firmer is a Troma masterpiece, the piesta resistance of cheesy gore films. The deaths are unique and super gory just as they should be. Also there are tons of naked females running about so the guys won't be disappointed.

I must give mention to the naked fat guy with the hairy back and the smallest penis I've ever seen running through the streets, hilarious! Imagine being on that street on that particular day.

Some memorable deaths:

Toddster: death by bong hit
Old Man Phil: death by fecal accident

Jacob Gelman: death by being eaten by escalator
Edgar Allan: death by stretched penis
And there is also a death by fart fueled blow torch plus many, many more.

The story line is simple and the cast is just plain silly. I found myself going through quite the range of emotions while watching this flick. At times I felt nauseous, stunned, embarrassed and I even laughed out loud more than once.

The end credits are hysterical, here are a couple of things you’ll find in the credits:

TROMOVIE FUN FACT: TERROR FIRMER is the first film in history to be edited by a non-seeing, no-limbed, drug addicted, gyno-African American specially abled individual This groundbreaking step in political correctness is of particular pride to the producers of TERROR FIRMER.

Kiss and Makeup: Juan A. Gedlaid
KISS makeup: kicks ass!
Fart Cutters: Crew after lunch
Negative Attitude: Gets You Nowhere
Graphic Sex: Clinton WHite House
Phlegm: More Fun Than Silly Putty
Still Angry: Lloyd Kaufman
High: Crew after hours
Hi: Translation of "Yo! Yo! Yo!"

Plus numerous messages from the lonely credit guy. Don’t think about it, just watch this movie!

sounds hilariously disturbing, catfreeek! i've never seen a troma film... maybe next year. apparently this lot isn't overly selective about who they let go nude on camera. i can't decide if that's good or bad. maybe both?

We inadvertently gave everyone a Troma double-shot. I was literally about to post when yours appeared.

Well-played, you!
