Troma films are [[B movie|B-movie]]s known for their [[surrealistic]] or [[Surrealist automatism|automatistic]] nature, along with their use of shocking imagery; some would categorize them as "shock [[exploitation film]]s". They typically contain overt sexuality, nudity, and intentionally sadistic, gory, and blatant [[graphic violence]], so much so that ''Troma film'' has become a term synonymous with these characteristics.{{fact|date=May 2023}}

Troma reuses the same props, actors, and scenes repeatedly, sometimes to save money. At a certain point, however, this became yet another hallmark of Troma. Examples include a severed leg, a [[penis]] monster, and the flipping and exploding car filmed for the movie ''[[Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D.]]'', which is used in place of any other car that needs to crash and explode.{{fact|date=May 2023}}
