1986 comedy film produced byTroma Entertainment . It is directed byJohn Golden , starsJoan Allen , and features original music byLeo Kottke .The plot revolves around two brothers who befriend an escaped mental patient (the titular "fat guy") and accompany him on his misadventures in the big city.
The film is one of the most popular movies in the Troma library, mainly because of its offbeat title. According to the video box,
Barry Nolan of "Hard Copy " states that this is his favorite Troma movie.Trivia
*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".
*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 the show made 1987's "Blood Hook ", which was distributed by Troma.External links
