Most grizzled war veterans will be quick to tell you that "war
is hell." But these vets obviously never fought a war like
"Troma’s War." The most financially ambitious Troma film to date,
"War" has been re-released in all of its uncut, pyrotechnic glory!
Now, for a nominal fee you can bring "War" to your own home and
find out why critics praised it as being "funnier than ‘Platoon!’"
A Tromaville Airlines flight goes down somewhere over the
Caribbean Ocean, crash-landing on an unmarked island. The few
survivors are a crew as motley as any "Gilligan’s Island" made for
TV movie (that includes the one with the Harlem Globetrotters).
You’ve got your tough-talking hero and heroine, the evil
capitalist pig, the James Bond type, the psychotic redneck
ex-marine, the blind girl, the priest, and the new wave band
"The Bearded Clams" among others. Their first worry - when
they’re going to be rescued - is quickly forgotten once a rag-tag
group of commandos begins to hunt and kill them. This isn’t any
old uncharted island - it’s a training camp for a
subversive infiltration squad that is getting set to invade the
shores of America. Our intrepid crash survivors find themselves in
the position of having to defend themselves and stop the invasion.
The bad guys - a hog-nosed commando, a Courtney Love look-alike, and
a pair of evil siamese twins - find that the crash survivors are
a paramilitary force to be reckoned with. Several long and bloody
gun battles later, we are reminded of a time when war was glorious
and made you feel good.
