We just don't have the budget to make it look good, and as a 68 year old, drunk, worked over filmmaker, I just can't stand that video game looking shit...You look at something like The Lego Movie, which is just wall to wall CGI and it's just a fucking 90 minute commercial. I don't care how good it is. Fuck ‘em! We get waves and waves of this kind of shit already on TV 24/7. This is something that's getting marketed to kids and families! It's just a commercial no matter what you say about it. View quote

"When in doubt, vomit green foam" is the motto of the B-movie empire, Troma Studios, the brainchild of Kaufman and Michael Herz, whose exploitation hits, Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High and Tromeo & Juliet, today clutter the midnight movie section of most video rental shops. Here, Kaufman traces his lifelong dedication to big-screen gore, disfigurement, mutation and raunchy sex from his days in the Yale film society as a disaffected undergrad in the mid-1960s (where he made a feature-length film that consisted mainly of a braless woman jogging) to his present career as a leading impresario of bad taste.
