    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Lloyd Kaufman planned for the film to be rated R for theatrical cult status: "It was our answer to Rambo, Reaganomics, to the new interest in war. We based the violence in the movie on 'Die Hard' and 'RoboCop.' Michael didn't think there would be one cut from MPAA. But the end result was the movie was totally disemboweled, totally disemboweled, to the point where bullet hits were removed, men on fire were removed, Siamese twins were removed. In order to get an R rating, the movie was rendered unwatchable." Following the film's poor critical and financial performance, Troma experienced financial hardship and jettisoned the company from the Hollywood mainstream.
    • Goofs
      In the finale one of the female characters gets shot in the back, for a moment a bloody wound can be seen. A second later when the camera films her from behind, the wound has disappeared.
    • Quotes

      Nancy: You try chopping Siamese twins apart with a machete and not change.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits, the frame unfreezes as the survivors walk away, then all the cast, including the dead bodies strewn all over the place, turn to the camera, smile and wave.
    • Alternate versions
      The complete version runs at about 104 minutes, a full 15 minutes longer than the edited R-rated version.
    • Connections
      Edited into A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell (1990)
    • Soundtracks

    Great.
    Great Troma movie. The last guy who commented on it has obviously never watched a Troma film before. The thin plot, nudity and guts all come together to form a solid story. The cheesy humor is another staple in the making of a great "movie of the future" I mean, an evil general with AIDS? GENIUS! If you don't enjoy Tromas War, you probably don't love Bloodsucking Freaks either, which makes you a moron. If you've never watched a Troma movie before, don't comment on them as if your film tastes are so advanced. Although, you really don't need to know the whole story behind the company to enjoy this film. Lloyd Kaufman and Micheal Herz have done it yet again. Thank you.
