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.

Reviews
Tromeo and Juliet is a
"Tromeo and Juliet is a fun trashy flick. Vinegar Syndrome gives this cult classic a quality restoration. If you're into any Troma flicks I highly recommend this one."
— Kyle L. (5/5)
Great set, not a huge fan of the film.
"A lesser Lloyd Kaufman film for me as the Kaufman troma humor usually only works for me when it's truly over the top disgusting, crude and crass and tromeo and juliet is relatively mild. Still glad to have it, it's a great package full of extras and I will give the film a few more shots."
— Teun H. (3/5)
Thanks Uncle Lloyd!
"Amazing transfer for an amazing movie. Great seeing the Gunn brothers working together before going onto bigger things. Funny, offensive, and gross. A perfect Troma production!"
— Gabriel G. (5/5)
I'm so glad Vinegar Syndrome
"I'm so glad Vinegar Syndrome is doing what Uncle Lloyd refuses to do. Bringing these Troma classics to us in the restored versions they deserve. Great picture quality and bonus content. And as always, great packaging. Keep it up!"
— Matthew T. (5/5)
Wherefore Art Thou
"I could sit here and tell you this is a great movie. It's Troma so it's not. It is a lot of fun though if you know what you are getting yourself into. I saw this growing up and hated it, but now that I have seen other Troma movies I can appreciate it. It's a classic story with tons of exploitation nods in it. Highly recommend it if you know what to expect."
— Nathan L. (4/5)
Schlocky Shakespeare is the best Shakespeare!
"Never in my life did I ever think anything Troma could get a 4k release with this many features. This is truly one of the best releases I’ve had and I will always be a big advocate for these type of releases. At this point in my life I can confidently say give me these type of 4k sets over criterion any day."
— Taylor S. (5/5)
Troma delight!
"Have been a Troma fan for the longest time, in particular anything directed by uncle Lloydy. This is prime era Troma and a great fun film. Terror Firmer happens to be my favourite Troma film and I picked up the VS release of that a while back which encouraged me to grab T&J. Both of these movie have blown me away with the picture upgrade, I never expected them to look this good. The packaging is fantastic and these releases have pride of place on my shelf. Hoping you get hold of Poultrygeist next!"
— Stuart W. (5/5)
Actually what did I just watch
"Tromeo and Juliet is genuinely one of the most unhinged movies I’ve come across in a while, but somehow that’s exactly why it works. It takes the basic Romeo & Juliet setup and completely drowns it in Troma-style chaos, gross-out humor, and pure late-90s punk energy. Honestly, seeing Lemmy involved already told me everything I needed to know going in. The whole movie feels like a fever dream made by people who were fully committed to making the weirdest thing possible, and I have a lot of respect for that."
— Kenia C. (4/5)
Outrageous and wild
"Such a fun weird adaptation of this story. It looks better here than I ever imagined it could."
— Damon H. (5/5)
Another incredible Troma release (please
"Another incredible Troma release (please VS do poltrygeist) this movie has so many extras and like any troma movie its fun wacky gross and theres a massive monster penis so if that interests you pick this one up!"
— Will S. (5/5)
