yea tough call. i went Full Moon though, they flooded the VHS decade
(late '80s, early '90s) that Troma seemed to have missed out on. namely because they put out alot of crappy films.. and fell hard.
in those days you could pick up a handfull of new FM videos a month while Troma, you'd have to drive to every store in the state to find a copy of War or Sgt Kabukiman (which were far from new).. which of course i did. typical new release shelf: Puppet Master 2 or Toxic Avenger 3? if you've seen them both it's a no brainer. FM had Charlie Spradling too. i had a crush on her
. so FM actually had it's own era which filled in the hole, the death of 80's slashers left in my heart
..
Full Moon went to complete and utter shit though by 1999 and stayed there, while Troma got back to the top, and became better than ever.
it's like apples and oranges though.. Cyndi Lauper and Madonna. Troma's over-the-top silly fun, Full Moon made silly things serious and i suppose scarey to children.. but exploded and faded away
oh... and seriously wtf?! nobody EVER mentions Class of Nuke Em High! i rank that up there with Toxie 1 and 2.. Sgt Kabukiman. hell, even part 2 was better than alot of other Troma stuff, i love it's theme song
. don't confuse what Troma distributes with what they actually do either!
