Rating: Summary: This Movie ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! Review: Terror Firmer would have to be one of the most amazing films that I have ever seen. A lot of 'film within a film' and comedy movies about 'independant' film making have come out, Bowfinger for example, but Terror Firmer blows them all away. For starters in TF it REALLY looks like a film set at all times. There are dozens of hilarious characters running about crazy like, who can forget the Todster? TF also is just so full of energy and laughs that words cannot do it any justice.The story is basicly about a blind director struggling to make his B-movie while a killer is murdering cast members with a romance developing between boom operator Casey and stage hand Jennifer. I won't spoil the ending but I will say it is sick and twisted beyond the expectations of even the most hardcore Troma fans. This film is very fast and amazingly funny. The acting is really great as well. Will 'Tromeo' Keenan, Alyce LaTourelle and Trent Haaga are all great as crew member and Terror Firmer also features Debbie Rochon, my all time favourite actress, who is amazing as always playing a [promiscuous] actress. Debbie's character apparantly is a combination of all the difficult 'actresses' that Lloyd has had to work with over the years. Lloyd steals the show in ever scene he is in. His timing and delivery, what can I say, this movie would not be anywhere as great if the director was played by anyone else. Lloyd is the man and this film will blow your mind!
Rating: Summary: This is the "R" rated version Review: This DVD is the "R" rated version of Troma's greatest movie ever. The real version is the unrated one; only buy this one after you have bought the unrated version. This one, though, is quite good. The director, Lloyd Kaufman, occasionally interrupts the story in order to tell viewers what he had to take out in order to get this rating; he is joined at times by star Yaniv Sharon. The "cuts" made are obvious, too. He does not try to hide the fact that some of the scenes had to be trimmed in order to qualify for the MPAA/CARA "R" rating, unlike some other movies. This only increases the comedic value of this movie. However, it is not as good as the unrated version, this latter being the single greatest motion picture ever released. Neither does this DVD have all of the bonus materials that the other version has on the first disc. However, the second disc remains the same for both versions. So I would recommend that you only order this particular version of the movie after you have seen the Unrated Directors Cut. Once you have seen the other, the "real" version of this movie, you will enjoy this version more.
Rating: Summary: A fun movie to watch! Review: This film contains so much dark humor and delivers it pretty well. It's a very cheap film, but its ridiculousness is so over the top, many will enjoy it.
The "Toddster" was the best bit in the film. The murderous female strips "Todd" of his clothing then bashes his skull in with a bon.
There's plenty of sex in it as well that will appeal to many. Some of it is pretty gross, but it is funny.
Rating: Summary: Troma doing what it does best!!! Review: This is essentially a movie about making a Troma flick. And all the troma stars come out to play. Theres Kabukiman, Toxie, Matt Stone & Trey Parker, Ron Jeremy, and a whole host of other Troma stars gracing the screen. This movie is EXTREMELY violent and crude. In fact, it is quite possibly the biggest gore-fest I've seen (except for Riki-Oh and Dead Alive). True Troma fans should not pass up this little Jem. Plus, the DVD has all sorts of extras like interviwews and deleted scenes. The humor is obnoxious, the effects are poor, and the acting is awful...what more could you ask for!
Rating: Summary: Very funny/sick film with awesome extras!! Review: This is my first Troma purchase and may I say, what a film company! Judging from this film and other trailers found on this dvd I must say that Troma (as sick as some may say it is) is truly an artistic film company. Terror Firmer takes place on the making of a film. The film is on the making of a film. While this film is getting made there is someone killing off each member of the crew one by one in pretty sick and brutal ways. I don't know what else to say except that THIS MOVIE ROCKS! No other movie out there has ever had me cringing and laughing at the same time. Aside from all the humor in this film (which could have been just a little better) there is some great gore effects, some of the best I've actually seen in a long time (surprisingly because this isn't a big budget picture). There is also lots of great softcore sex and nudity and basically everything people love to see but are too afraid to admit they do. The extras are unlimited. There are trailers from other sick upcoming troma films, music videos (featuring even more xxx material) and a one and a half hour "Making of" Documentary on the making of Terror Firmer. And may I say this is definitely the BEST making of documentary I've scene of any making of featurrette on any film ever! Why? Because it's real. While other making of's are showing you interviews of people talking about how great their co-actors and directors are, this one doesnt have any of that fake stuff. It shows you deep behind the scenes with actors getting angry, the director screaming at everyone, and bloopers throughout. If you love sex, gore, violence, sick jokes or anything of this nature DO NOT PASS UP THIS FILM! Buy it now because I guarantee you won't be dissappointed with it!
Rating: Summary: My thoughts on Terror Firmer (and Troma in general) Review: This is perhaps the most entertaining Zero star film I have ever seen. While I somehow managed to sit through the whole thing (i did, I admit have a hatchet which I frequently cut myself with, swear to God) I can't say I hold any value of it whatsoever. By and Large, I was appalled. Now don't you dar call me soft. I own DEAD ALIVE, which has been called the goriest movie of all time (albeit not even close to the grossest) In fact, that honor belongs to Terror Firmer, which pretty much sums up my whole thoughts on Troma. But let me discuss the film first. It's movie within a movie plot gives way to numerous characters and shenanigans. We have, among other things, ample mutilation, hemaphrodites, suicides, brain removals, the smallest penis ever on film for all of Times square to see (with a magnifying glass, maybe), and gratuitous vomiting. Now, a note on the vomiting. I hate to see puke in movies, so maybe its the sickening barf-fest in the limo (or the guy who makes out with a girl still covered in his own vomit) that drug this film into zero star territory for me. And yes, I have seen BAD TASTE, and I actually enjoyed the bowl-o-chuck ritual in that film. There is a difference. This film presents it in the most disgusting and explicitve manner ever. Did I mention a man eats his own member? Now don't take me for a stuck-up cinema snob. I like Troma. I like Lloyd Kaufman. While I hate these films (I've the toxic Avenger 1-4, this, and troma dance vol. 1., which is possibly the biggest waste of plastic ever) I admire the rough-and-tumble, bootstrap, and shameless spirit of Troma studios. I enjoyed the feature length documentary that follows the filming process of Terror Firmer. These are delightful people who believe in what they are doing, and without pretension. I am thankful that a studio like that can thrive, even I hate their movies. Note: I have not included in this discussion Cannibal: The Musical, an absolutely delightful (and all around, tasteful) comedy released by Troma studios, which was NOT involved with the production.
Rating: Summary: My eyes! Oh God my eyes! Review: This is, without a doubt, the worst movie I have ever seen. Bad acting, sick jokes that aren't funny in the least, and enough sex to almost be porn. Sickening, and disgusting, and I honestly don't see how anyone could enjoy it in the least. I have seen some of the most grotesque movies ever, without flinching, but half the time I couldn't watch this utter ****.
Rating: Summary: ioncetookatexantoawedding Review: this movie is bad even for troma. its not gross or shocking or funny. it's very long, i think about 9 hours. i wasn't offended or entertained, just bored and i got diarhea. troma fans are overwight. i bought this movie and i can't get rid of it. i can't sell it to stoners, give it away to homeless people, or trade it for a banana at lunch. it didn't even come with the free poster promised on the case. also it breaks your dvd players
Rating: Summary: The sickest most twisted movie you're likely to ever see. Review: What can you say... pickled penises, a lunatic hermaphrodite, the return of the Toxic Avenger, and more puke scenes than a Jr.High beer bash. Not for everybody but it is very funny. I have a hard time sitting still for more than 20-30 minutes thru this thing. Something very disturbing about it but it gets the laughs nonetheless. Worth checking out-bring a strong stomach.
Rating: Summary: Terror Firmer- Another fine work of art by the troma team! Review: Wow. I thought writing a review for this film would be easy. Words cannot express how great this movie is. If you have never seen a troma movie before, this movie may be a little TOO shocking for you. With scenes of gratuitous violence, pointless nudity, and lots of profanity, Terror Firmer aims to please its hardcore Troma fans. The plot of the film is loosly based on Lloyd Kaufman's book, "All I Need To Know About Film Making I Learned from The Toxic Avenger." A low budget movie crew is on the set of a Toxic Avenger movie and being murdered systematically by a crazed serial killer. Scences of leg amputations (by two trucks), axe maiming and defetusing, are just a few highlights of the gory wonder that is Terror Firmer! Another brilliant and shockingly funny film from Troma. BUY THIS NOW! IT IS WELL WORTH ITS PRICE!
