A crew is a body or a class of people who work at a common activity, generally in a structured or hierarchical organization. A location in which a crew works is called a crewyard or a workyard. The word has nautical resonances: the tasks involved in operating a ship, particularly a sailing ship, providing numerous specialities within a ship's crew, often organised with a chain of command. Traditional nautical usage strongly distinguishes officers from crew, though the two groups combined form the ship's company. Members of a crew are often referred to by the title "Crewman".
"Crew" also refers to the sport of rowing, where teams row competitively in racing shells.
"Crew" is used colloquially to refer to a small, tight-knit group of friends or associates engaged in criminal activity. Also used in reference to the traditional "unit" of criminals under the supervision of a caporegime in the American Mafia. However, the term is not specific to (Mafia-affiliated) organized crime.
Crew can refer simply to a group of friends, unrelated to crime or violence.
Plot
Ali, a restless romantic and Eda, a graffiti artist, embark on a quixotic adventure through Turkey's industrial port-cities, hoping to escape the suffocating routine of their daily lives by finding the ship that Ali has only seen in his dreams.
Plot
This is the story of a low budget film crew, led by their blind film director, Larry Benjamin (Lloyd Kaufman/co-founder of Troma Inc.), trying to make some art. In addition to the typical trials and travails of a Troma set, the crew finds themselves set upon by a sexually conflicted, bomb bearing serial killer. Production assistant Jennifer (enchanting Alyce LaTourelle) struggles to succeed on set and to decide between the two men in her life - straitlaced Casey (Will Keenan) and over the edge Jerry (Trent Haaga). This threesome heats up as the killer draws even nearer. As the insanity increases and the bodies amass, the crew bands together (both physically and sexually) against the threat in their midst.

I'm tired and I want to go home!::Larry Benjamin: Of course you want to go home. While you were in that last scene, I could have sworn you were Marilyn Monroe in River of No Return. You were so beautiful in that!::Christine: Really, Larry? Marilyn Monroe?::Larry Benjamin: Yeah.::Christine: Well... I guess I could do a couple of more times.

Ward: Ew, Jerry you distgusting freak, get away from me with all that stuff.::Jerry: Aw, come on Ward. Don't tell me this little nosebleed is bothering you a little.::Ward: Not at much as your ugly face. Why do you get into this stuff anyway?::Jerry: Why do you always look at the crack of a man's ass and think "lunch time"?::Ward: No wonder I loose my appetite when I look at you... sicko. Look at these people. They're miserable.::Jerry: Hey, hey, listen tushy pusher, I love my job. I don't even get paid to be here. In fact, I would pay to be here. So if these people don't like it here, they can just get the fuck out.
Casey: The perversions must end!... Family values must be saved!::Christine: No! This is a Troma movie!
Audrey Benjamin: [speaking for the first time] You killed my daddy, you maniacal, media-manipulated, homicidal, hermaphrodite freak of nature!
Toddster: Who is *that*?::Meathead Drunk Fratboy #2: Are you referring to that mysterious yet beautiful lady with her back to us?
Asshole P.A.: [dying words] Don't give up the fight for truly independent cinema!
Jacob Gelman: Do you want some chocolate? I didn't think so. I eat this stuff all the time. White chocolate, dark chocolate. Of course I eat dark chocolate with meat and white chocolate with fish.
[approaching a woman on the dance floor]::Toddster: Hey, baby. Do fries go with that shake?
Casey: I was thinking about going home and putting a Spielberg movie in - 'Always' or '1941,' something really great like that.
Casey: Sam Fuller, the American no-talent embraced by those French derelicts.
