Briefly, it means that non lone would it be worse than the B moving-picture show, there only just can't become anything worse than it.
Ed Wood is considered as a specialist of Z-movies, with his famed Plan 9 from Outer Space widely accepted as existence a worst film ever produced in the history of the medium.

For instance these films come produced within-home, & every now and again it is purchased from either more studios and re-released, especially such films represent the early act of a newly-famous actor. (A good case of this is Sizzle Beach U.S.A., one of Kevin Costner's first films, which was purchased by Troma and re-released to capitalize on his popularity in Silverado and the then-upcoming The Untouchables.)
Troma's virtually all infamous film is The Toxic Avenger. Discharged around 1985, it tells the story of the human world health organization is thrown inside a toxic dumpster where he gets unknown powers & is mutated into "Toxie", a toxic retaliator, an extremely horrible & hard animal that cleans wall street of scum. This picture is very significant in a Troma history because fallowing its discharged, Toxie became the icon of Troma.
