James Gunn is without a doubt one of the most famous current film directors in Hollywood, especially in the blockbuster realm. In the last few years, his superb and ingenious work with Guardians of the Galaxy confirmed his talent as a filmmaker as well as his flair for the superhero genre. Many of his fans are inevitably looking forward to July, when they will finally be able to see Gunn's latest movie, Superman.
9 The Tromaville Café Created By James Gunn & Lloyd Kaufman Broadcasted by the BBC from 1997 to 2000, The Tromaville Café was a TV program that also featured Lloyd Kaufman as well as other actors like Debbie Rochon and Joe Fleishacker portraying the most iconic fictional and not figures of the Troma Entertainment films and TV shows, from The Toxic Avenger to the Sgt. Kabukiman.
The brilliance of the movie lies also in the originality of the idea. The bizarre, unexplored plot and funny one-liners deserve praise, showing Gunn's incredible ability to not only effortlessly delve into the superhero genre but also do it with the creativity and satirical eye that the public would later enjoy in Guardians of the Galaxy. Despite some mixed to unfavorable reviews, the film's genius is undeniable.
This adaptation of the animated series presents some of the classic humor and jokes later found in Gunn’s movies. Although the film did not receive positive reviews when it came out, the lack of critical acclaim did not prevent it from becoming a cult over the years, and even having its own sequel. Regardless of the critics, Scooby-Doo was an exciting and fun addition to its extensive franchise that did not lack the ingenuity we'd later find in future projects by Gunn.
Unfortunately, the film did not receive positive reviews and, although it did well at the box office, it was still less profitable than its predecessor, which prevented Gunn from writing and directing a third installment as he had planned. In 2020, the director revealed on Twitter the original and exciting plot for the third movie, with intriguing plot twists and a lesson on prejudices .
