It is directed by John Golden, stars Peter Linari, and features original music by Leo Kottke. The film is one of the most popular movies in the Troma library, mainly because of its offbeat title.
Title Changes
- John and Roger Golden originally used the word "Zeisters" as a substitute expletive shared by the three brothers. This made up word was used as the title of the film. However, once the film was re-edited and the use of the word removed, the title no longer seemed to fit.
- Troma was originally set to title the film Fat Boy Goes Nutzoid, but, at the request of the lawyers of the hip-hop group The Fat Boys, it was changed to Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid.
Popular culture
- According to the video box, Barry Nolan of Hard Copy states that this is his favorite Troma movie.
- The film was referenced in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode, Attack of the Giant Leeches: when a rather portly character in the film brandishes a rifle, one of the robots muses “Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid!: a Troma presentation.” Not-so-coincidentally, two of the writers/stars of MST3K made 1987’s Blood Hook, which was distributed by Troma.
