Trivia
Lloyd Kaufman
Stanley Lloyd Kaufman never really wanted to make movies, but wanted to work in Broadway musicals. During his years in Yale, though, he got introduced to "B" pictures and the works of Roger Corman.
Lloyd later got the opportunity to executive-produce a short movie made by a fellow student.
The film, called "Rappacini", got him even more interested in movies.
He bought his own camera and took it with him to Chad, Africa, were he spent his summer.
There he shot a 15-minute film of a pig being slaughtered. That was his first movie, and was the birth of what was later to become known as Troma Films.
He showed the footage of the squealing pig being killed to his family, and their shocked reaction to it made him wonder if making movies that shocked audiences would keep them in their seats to see what would happen next.
He wanted to be a director right then and there, so he got a couple of friends at Yale and made his second movie, The Girl Who Returned (1969).
People loved it, and he went straight to work on other films, helping out on projects like Joe (1970), Rocky (1976) and Saturday Night Fever (1977).
Lloyd put in a lot of long, hard hours in the film business, just to be in the credits and to get money for his next project, a full-length feature.
It was a tribute to Charles Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and the classic era of silent-film comedy.

Quotes
Lloyd Kaufman
"I don't make crappy movies. I spend two or three years making a film. I don't take myself seriously, but I take my movies very seriously."
"I'm working on a movie called Poultrygeist. It's about how the masses are being fed the Kool-Aid by the major media and then, like zombies, go out and eat junk food. That's what the Grindhouse thing is all about. The major media gets word from the giant, devil-worshiping international conglomerates that own it, that say, "Now it's time to promote Dreamgirls," and therefore it's Dreamgirls 24/7. We live in an age of zombies, and it's particularly appropriate that I'm working on a zombie movie. S
"The thing I find about the movie industry is that 99 percent of the people are absolute scum. They're horrible people, they really are. Very nasty killer rabbits who hate movies. But the other 1 percent are really the greatest, most wonderful people in the world. They love movies--the art of movies and the business of the movies."
"I like fat people more then I like thin people, things are always a lot more funnier when they happen to fat people".
"The person who goes to the Troma movie knows that he or she may love the Troma movie or, he or she may hate the Troma movie; but the movie goer knows that he or she will never forget the Troma movie."
"In our racist, sexist society, Christmas is the eight hours when we stop killing each other and gratuitous overeating is encouraged so that the starving and other people in the world can die!"
