Troma and other 80's Cult Movies

Doesn't it seem that every time you run a search for 80's movies you get the same old boring results? Pretty in Pink, The Karate Kid, or something terrible starring Corey and/or Corey.  Don't get me wrong, some of the popular films were very good but I've always felt the rare and obcure has more personality and more creativity.
The beauty of the cult movie is that it is not perfect by the Joe Public movie goer's guidelines. The films color totally out of the lines and go over the top. The characters are off the wall and the story lines are far fetched but they all came together to make a great film.
Here are a few of my favorite B-Movie / Cult Films of the 80's.


1. The Toxic Avenger. Tromaville has a monstrous new hero. The Toxic Avenger is born when mop boy Melvin Junko falls into a vat of toxic waste. Now evildoers beware!



2. Surf Nazis Must Die - When the grandson of a gun wielding woman is murdered by neo-nazi surf punks in the post-apocalyptic future, this grandma hunts them down for some bloodthirsty revenge.

 

 

 

3. Class of Nuke 'Em High - Tromaville High, like most high schools, is right next to a nuclear power plant. Nothing bad could come of this, could it?



4. Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. - Harry Griswald is a NYPD cop who is possessed with the spirit of a great Kabuki master. This has made him 'the chosen one' to do battle with 'the evil one'. He is also out to do good deeds and fight crime in the name of the law. The only problem is that a number of corrupt people in the community and their henchmen want him dead so that they can gain power when 'the evil one' come to take over the world. Sgt. Kabukiman must use his special superpowers to outsmart and out-fight the bad guys.


5. Killer Klowns From Outer Space - Very complicated plot. Aliens that look like clowns come down from outer space and kill people in a small town...ummm I guess the title sums it up.


6. Slumber Party Massacre II - A rock n roll Slasher flick. How cool is that? Courtney, the younger sister of the "new girl across the street" in the first film is all grown up now and suffers from nightmares from the events from the first film. She and her female rock group go to a condo for the weekend to play music and have fun with their boyfriends. Courtney's dreams are of her sister, who is in a mental institution, warning her about the killer, and the dreams begin to spill into real life, threatening Courtney and her friends.



7. Repo Man - The original punk rock classic cult film staring Emelio Esteveze.
