The Tromaverse refers to the shared continuity of various film projects produced by the independent film production and releasing company known as Troma Entertainment. While not every film takes place in the same reality, there is a consistency of theme and narrative structure running through various projects, allowing for at the very least, the prospect of a shared universe. The two most well known franchises within the Tromaverse include the Class of Nuke 'Em High film series and the Toxic Avenger film series. Other similar movies of note include Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., Tromeo and Juliet and Troma's War. A common setting amongst some of these films is the fictional city of Tromaville, which appears to be analogous to Jersey City, New Jersey. Films within the Tromaverse are of the B-grade exploitation style, emphasizing absurdism, surrealism, outrageous violence, overt sexuality & nudity, as well as exploring themes that many viewers would find inappropriate, insensitive and outright offensive.
