Does that mean you can buy the DVD or watch any of them on TV anytime soon or does it mean that Troma are doing the distribution but just havent yet?

I might have to delve deeper into this Troma thing. I think is is a distribution house for obscure indie movies, they also sell some of their stuff. Maybe they only did the US distribution for those two movies?

Its possible, to understand why these movies never got propper distribution, if any, may shed some light on our project now.

Troma do distributing and filmaking. They generally pick up low budget movies from other studios and market them under the Troma banner. They are also the people who made such 'classicks' as The Toxic Avenger, Surf Nazis Must Die, Fat Guy goes Nutzoid, Chainsaw Hookers at the Sleazarama Bowl, Terror Firma and the sublime Tromeo and Juliet which features Lemmy from Motorhead. I'm a bit of a fan.

So am i correct in assuming that PP's movies have NEVER seen the light of day? Never even on DVD? And that Bug Wars was just a fringe festival also ran? Oh my faith ever grows larger by the minuite. This is utter bullsh*t of the highest order. Thye mother of all feck up's. We've all been had boys and girls, breakout the heavy ordinance and board up the windows the shat is about to FLY.....

but Troma arnt doing the distribution for WOTW, so if even they didnt pick this up does that mean that its either very very bad or PP chose not to go with troma?

At least people have heard of Troma. They have "semi-respectability"

Funnily enough, having Troma distribute the film would give it a whole new market as Troma have their own following as Cylinder said. Having said that, WotW isn't the usual type of thing they release, they generally go for the schlock horror/T&A type of deal. But it's an amusing thought. For a hilarious overview of the Troma way of working see if you can catch their great movie 'All the Love You Cannes' which shows the teams adventures plugging their wares at the Cannes Film Festival. Also 'The Making of Terror Firma' is one of the most entertaining feature length 'Making of..' movies I have seen yet.

Unless Hines has taken WOTW down the schlock horror route (im thinking electro bondage scene here) then troma would have been perfect.
