History Film / TromeoAndJuliet

* HeroesWantRedheads: Juliet is a redhead in this version. Tromeo falls in LoveAtFirstSight with her.

* AbusiveParents: Capulet locks Juliet inside a cage and hits her in this version as punishment for misbehavior (i.e. being sexual outside marriage). The cage is even inside a soundproofed room so nobody would hear her scream outside, which appals Tromeo, but Juliet has gotten used to this.

->'''Juliet''': Parting is such sweet sorrow.
->'''Tromeo''': Totally sucks.

* {{Blackmail}}: Monty was extorted into signing over his company to Capulet by the threat of Ingrid [[spoiler:taking away his son, as he isn't Tromeo's biological father]].

* LipstickLesbian: Ness, Juliet's girlfriend initially, is long-haired and wears feminine, revealing clothing usually. Juliet herself appears to be a lipstick bisexual, having an equally feminine style but later falling in love with Tromeo.

* AbusiveParents: Capulet locks Juliet in a cage and hits her in this version as punishment for misbehavior (i.e. being sexual outside marriage).

* {{Cameo}}: Screenwriter James Gunn appears as the father of the family whose car crashes, and director Lloyd Kaufman is credited as "Shocked Onlooker"

* DisasterDominoes: Tybalt has [[AnArmAndALeg his arm ripped]] while being dragged by a car, and then is [[OffWithHisHead decapitated]] landing on a moving truck's camp. The head lands on a family's car and causes it to crash spectacularly.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The credited characters include "Guy Who Says It Will Take Him Only Two Minutes to Have Sex," "Guy Who Says 'You got to work hard to get ahead in life' and Then Looks at the Camera," and "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Blind Chick, Vision Impaired Girl, Woman that can't see, Person of the female persuasion with very good hearing]]"
* FanService: It's a Troma film, topless girls had to appear.

* HalfHumanHybrids: Juliet's potion doesn't make her look dead, instead turns her into a cow monster.

%%* ADateWithRosiePalms: Tromeo does this with an interactive computer game.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: "And then you put a little incest into the mix..." from Martini towards Georgie at the start of the film.

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: PlayedForLaughs at the end. [[spoiler:Rather than committing suicide together because of a misunderstanding like in the play, Tromeo and Juliet [[ShockingSwerve suddenly find out they're actually siblings]] and drive off into the sunset to [[CrossesTheLineTwice raise their mutant children]].]]

* ParallelPornTitles: Tromeo has a PornStash with [[Theatre/JuliusCaesar Et Tu, Blow Job]], [[Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice The Merchant of Penis]], [[Theatre/AsYouLikeIt As You Lick It]], and [[Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing Much To Do About Humping]] (the last of which is especially hilarious since [[GetTheeToANunnery Much Ado About Nothing already has a sex joke in the title]]).

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Tromeo does this with an interactive computer game.
* ArtisticLicense: The ending is... a little different from the original.

* BiTheWay: Juliet loves Tromeo but also loves having sex with her cook, Ness.

* BiTheWay: Juliet considering her relationships with Ness and then Tromeo.

* CargoEnvy: A famous example from the source material is parodied: In the original play, Romeo sees Juliet in the window with her hands on her cheek and wishes he could be her glove; Here, Tromeo has the exact same lines in the same situation, but Juliet is touching her butt instead of her face, so he's talking about a different sort of cheek. (Shakespeare would doubtless approve of this joke.)

* ParallelPornTitles: Tromeo has a PornStash with [[Theatre/JuliusCaesar Et Tu, Blow Job]], [[Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice The Merchant of Penis]], [[Theatre/AsYouLikeIt As You Lick It]], and [[Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing Much To Do About Humping]].
** The latter of which is rather unnecessary, as [[GetTheeToANunnery Much Ado About Nothing already has a sex joke in the title]].

-->'''WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob:''' Looks like this was done when the writer learned foreshadowing, but not subtlety.

* NameAndName: An homage to the parent company, Troma, with the phrase Tromeo replacing Romeo in the film title. Could also extend to Ques and Capulets.
