Tromeo lives in squalor with his alcoholic father Monty and works at a tattoo parlor with his cousin Benny and friend Murray. Set in modern-day Manhattan, the film begins with the narrator ( Lemmy of Motörhead) introducing two families: the Capulets and the Ques.Īt the center of these families are Tromeo Que and Juliet Capulet. The title of the film is a portmanteau of " Troma" and "Romeo & Juliet". The film is more or less a faithful adaptation of the play except with the addition of extreme amounts of Troma-esque sexuality and violence, as well as a revised ending. The film was directed by Lloyd Kaufman and co-directed by James Gunn, who also wrote the film's screenplay. Tromeo and Juliet is a 1996 independent transgressive comedy film adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet from Troma Entertainment.
