Unlike in Luhrmann's version, Juliet is locked in a plastic cage for having too much lesbian sex with her nurse and then electrocutes her father with a computer monitor. Like the Luhrmann film, Troma's take on the Bard's tale of star-crossed lovers updates the story to modern America. The Gunn-scripted Tromeo And Juliet came out in 1996, the same year as the Baz Luhrmann-Leonardo DiCaprio version of the same play (in which Sean Gunn's character was played by Scream's Jamie Kennedy). Gunn's first screenplay for Troma was the schlocky gross-out studio's unique take on England's greatest literary icon and he brought along for the ride his actor brother Sean (these days best known as Guardians' Ravager second-in-command Kraglin, as well as the on-set performance capture actor for Rocket Raccoon and, briefly, Thanos).
