Duval, who cut his teeth working as a gaffer on studio fare such as Crank: High Voltage, MacGruber and the upcoming Seth Rogen vehicle Neighbors, talked to Deep Fried Movies about the unique experience of making a film with a crew mixing seasoned professionals with inexperienced Troma fanatics. Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 has received more attention than any Troma effort in many a moon and part of the credit goes to cinematographer Justin Duval, who adds a polished sheen lacking in many of the studio’s recent low-budget efforts. Yes, much like Kill Bill and the final entry in every young adult franchise, a single film simply couldn’t contain all of the social satire, buckets of gore and flatulence jokes Return to Nuke ‘Em High has to offer. The latter recently received the remake treatment, directed by none other than Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman himself and presented in two volumes, the first of which just hit home video.
