Look at that poster; it's a thing of beauty isn't it? This grindhouse trailer became the kind of movie that Troma used to be infamous for making. A movie that proudly features ridiculous sex, over the top violence and a skewed sense of reality for no reason other then to titillate. These characters would easily fit in the Toxic Avenger's Tromaville. Random punks, kill people with bumper cars, the number one cause of death for crossing our villain Drake is beheading by barbwire noose while being suspended by a manhole cover neatly placed around the neck; a rather elaborate, but highly entertaining death scene. Bottom line, exploitation movies don't take themselves seriously and don't expect you to either. They are simply eye candy, with no lessons to learn except the bad guys have to pay at any cost.
Even when uber bad guys "The Plague" show up and bring the whole movie to a seemingly new level of the preposterous, it doesn't matter. They are simply rad characters, who apparently, killed Jesus and Abraham Lincoln. Even the soundtrack is spot on for this type of movie. Here's a huge kudos to writer/director Jason Eisener and company for resurrecting the fun of low budget chicanery. Now if only we can get Rob Zombie on that Werewolf Women of the SS feature...
