While Troma Entertainment continues to offer thought-provoking new films, fervent fans of the creative company no doubt always keep an eye out for Blu-ray releases of cherished Troma movies from back in the day. Troma's upcoming high-definition slate should more than please its loyal legion of viewers, as it's been revealed that this spring they will release Blu-rays of three cult films from the late ’80s/early ’90s.
According to Blu-ray.com, the Class Of Nuke 'Em High II: Subhumanoid Meltdown (1991) and The Toxic Avenger: Part II (1989) Blu-rays will come out on April 14th, while Rabid Grannies is set to hit shelves on March 10th.
Below, we have the films' synopses as well as the special features that will be included on the The Toxic Avenger: Part II and Rabid Grannies Blu-rays (via Blu-ray.com). The extras for Class Of Nuke 'Em High II: Subhumanoid Meltdown have not yet been announced and the cover art for all three releases have yet to be unveiled, but we'll keep Daily Dead readers updated as more details surface.
Class Of Nuke 'Em High II: Subhumanoid Meltdown (directed by Eric Louzil and Donald G. Jackson):
"First there was the super successful, now classic, theatrical smash hit and breakthrough blockbuster CLASS OF NUKE EM HIGH! Now, there comes the riotous sci-fi, hyper-action, big budget, ambitious sequellian comedy, Troma's CLASS OF NUKE EM HIGH PART II: SUBHUMANOID MELTDOWN! Those lovable cretins from CLASS OF NUKE EM HIGH! have graduated Summa Cum Weirdly and the once peaceful town of Tromaville is about to explode with a wave of sci-fi and special effects induced SUBHUMANOID MELTDOWN! Welcome to the Tromaville Institute of Technology, where a melt-down prone nuclear power-plant creates a hideously deformed but very positive thinking humongous mutant squirrels and obnoxious talking belly buttons with bad attitudes. In this incredibly bold adventure in gene-splicing, anarchy and terror rule the campus of Tromaville Tech as the students join forces with the subhumanoids to overthrow the insidious and hedonistic corporate slime responsible for a wave of malicious mutant meltdowns and massacres. Will peace and environmental hygiene ever be restored to the once-peaceful town of Tromaville? Find out as you enroll for the education of a lifetime in CLASS OF NUKE EM HIGH PART II: SUBHUMANOID MELTDOWN!"
The Toxic Avenger: Part II (directed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman):
"Toxie's mean, green, and back on the screen! Melvin Junko was a nerdy 98lb weakling until he fell into a vat of toxic waste, turning him into the first ever superhuman superhero from New Jersey. This time the hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength takes on Tokyo. The Toxic Avenger Part II is a spectacular sequel with even more ingenious special effects, even more bizarre action, and even more unbelievably famous fight scenes. He's come a long way from Tromaville, baby!"
Special Features:
Rabid Grannies (directed by Emmanuel Kervyn):
"Grannies are the greatest. They bake pies, tell stories and take you to the zoo. They don't ask for an arm and a leg in return. THEY WANT YOUR WHOLE BODY! It's off to grandmother's house we go for Rabid Grannies, the blood-splattered tale of two little old ladies who open a surprise package from Hell. Out slithers a mysterious fog that turns the grannies into ghouls who can't wait to sink their dentures into human flesh. Luckily for them, they have a houseful of juicy guests. Unluckily for their guests, these bone-crunching battle-axes just can't get filled up. RABID GRANNIES, these biddies bite!"
