Troma: the production and distribution company that doesn't hesitate to produce sequel after sequel and they keep getting better (Explain this: Citizen Toxie 8.8 70 votes on 12-nov-2001 ...). It's nihilism. It's eighties' nihilism. No, it's eighties' nihilism made in the nineties. With a spark of escapism. CNHP2SM insults our intelligence BIG TIME and we like it! The mission statement of Troma was already in Mother's Day (1980): 'There are three rules in the filmindustry: distribution, distribution and distribution.' That's what it's all about in Tromaville apparently.
Ever wanted to see a prequel of a post-apocalyptic movie? Well, this is it! (Otherwise, you might wanna try 'Miracle Mile'). Roger Smith is even more degenerated than Duke Nukem and wants to prevent the subhumanoids, who are integrated in campus life from melting down violently. One of the many strange things about this movie is that it pretends to be fantasy but keeps you with your feet firmly on the ground as the 'nothing special effects' in the end-credits confirm. Throughout we see people vomiting nuclearly in each others mouth (oh sorry, that was a spoiler), stop-motion animation, sexual harassments 'Just checking for malethion around uranus, ma'am' and supposedly giant squirrels with humongous nuts.
But this is more than just kicking in every possible open door. There is the distinctive Troma-humor and sexism that appeals to any self-respecting teenage escapist, but draws heavily on the cacophony of part one (even less coherent) and the enthusiasm of the nihilistic troma-cult society of which each member does not seem to fit in anywhere (not even that particular group). When FOX was producing Alien (1,2,3,4), Planet of the apes (1,2,3,4) and Star Wars (4,5,6,1), Troma found it necessary to make the excruciating Toxic Avenger (1,2,3,4) and Class of nuke 'em high (1,2,3,4). Still better than 'Fat guy goes nutzoid' (1986), 'Violent Sh*t' (1987), 'Driller Killer' (1979), 'Frankenhooker' (1990) together. And more fun than Lethal Weapon (1,2,3,4).
Recommended motion pictures: the Robot vs Octopus Monster saga from Beastie Boys' Intergalactic music video. I sincerely wanted to write a dissertation about this stuff, but there is no room for that here. CNHP2SM is reminiscent of certain 'Young Ones' (1982) episodes, Invasion of the bodysnatchers, The Fly, etc, but especially part 1 of course. Lousy music, warm beer, and saggy boobs: boner appetite. Why you layabout, now clear off. Grow up! 3/10
