Tromeo & Juliet (1996)

The Ques and the Capulets have been engaged in a years-long rivalry, which has fostered such a vicious feud that they’ve each forbidden their children from having any contact with those of the other. When lovable and smut-obsessed slacker Tromeo Que and his friends decide to sneak into a lavish party being hosted by the chaste and proper Juliet Capulet, the two fall in love at first sight. Realizing that they must keep their passion for each other secret, especially as Juliet’s father has pledged her as a bride to a meat-obsessed business associate, their forbidden love threatens not only to destroy their families but also begins causing mayhem and bloodshed all around them. The first of director Lloyd Kaufman's (The Toxic Avenger) official adaptations of William Shakespeare, TROMEO & JULIET is a wild, punk reimagining of The Bard's eternal doomed romance, only with non-stop gore, nudity, and giant mutant genitals! Set amongst the denizens and outcasts of squalid New Jersey, standing in for a modern vision of Verona, and featuring a screenplay co-written by soon-to-be major director in his own right, James Gunn (Slither, Guardians of the Galaxy) TROMEO features scream queen Debbie Rochon (Cyber Vengeance), Sean Gunn (Super, Superman) in his on-screen debut, music superstar Lemmy (Motörhead), and Will Keenan as Tromeo. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to bring this funny, gross, altogether unpredictable, and incredibly moving love story for the ages to UHD and Blu-ray, exclusively restored in 4K from its original camera negative and presented in its director's cut, along with hours of new and archival extras.
