Review: The Toxic Avenger is a great spoof on horror films and superhero films.When a practical joke is played on a nerdy health club janitor,he jumps out a window and lands in a barrel of toxic waste.Thus transforming him into a creature of superhuman size and strength.He goes out and fights crime,ripping the bad guys apart and seeking revenge against those who made him into what he's become.If you like gore theres plenty of great scenes.The kid getting his head ran over is great.If you like this type of stuff check it out.

Summary: Andy Warhol Step Back
Review: Finally, a film that can give Warhol's Frankenstein some competition. The Toxic Avenger is camp humor and gore that makes the violence of Warhol seem laid back. Toxie gives you something to laugh at.
The buff beautiful people who draw out Melvin's id, much to their chagrin later in the film, are reminiscent of the potheads of Reefer Madness, in their crazed drinking binges . The Toxic Avenger in its gore intensity is a film similar to the ones shown to kids in drivers' education classes, with titles like 'Blood Runs Red on the Highway', depicting State Policemen picking up severed heads from the spots they've rolled to, usually behind the wheel of the same tractor-trailer that totaled the car, then tossing it indiscreetly into the body bag. As the plot of The Toxic Avenger unfolds, the buff beautiful people becoming bored and intoxicated run over an innocent youth riding his bicycle, crushing his head beneath their car tire. Filmed as close as the perspective of the victim, this scene won't phase you a bit. An exaggerated film with a point, the storyline in the meanwhile has Melvin becoming the burning man after falling into nuclear waste, and running home to become the Toxic Avenger.
Listening at the bathroom door, as Toxie moans in morphing pain, his mother beams. "Finally puberty!" Before the film is done, he avenges the community wronged by the criminals, himself wronged by the bullies, and he finds a girlfriend who loves his id just as id is. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Summary: Hilarious and bloody
Review: I always wanted to see a movie where pedestrians are mowed down by cars, little old ladies are beat up, and guys get their arms ripped off and hands crushed. If this is what you look for in a movie, check out Toxic Avenger. Inredible stuff, I don't care about the poor acting (some of the worst I've ever seen), low budget feel, poor costumes, etc. This is a great flick. Any time you have a super hero born from chemical waste who beats up bad guys, scores with a blind chick, and makes his house out of garbage in the middle of a dump you know it's a legendary movie. Most memorable scene: guy at the gym gets his face smashed in by a stack of weights. Check it out ASAP.

Summary: Toxic Avenger, The... (1985) d: Kaufman, Lloyd
Review: After the Troma Team comedy / sex films such as Squeeze Play (1981) Waitress (1981), Stuck On You (1983), and The First Turn On (1983) started to become a little too similar to the ones being marketed by Hollywood, and after reading a quote that "Horror films are Dead!" In a major trade paper, the Troma Team studios decided that if everyone was doing comedy, and no horror. They knew which direction they should start heading. That was probably the best decision they ever made. The Toxic Avenger managed to get a big theatrical release in most of the major US cities., and went on to show the big executives that the little independent can make it. The Toxic Avenger spawned many sequels, an animated television series, Toxic Crusaders [Interesting clips from the Toxic Crusaders animated TV series based on the movie, are included on this DVD], and a full line of merchandise. With Troma's Rule #3 clearly in place Make A Good Movie, Melvin a mop boy working at a gym, is transformed into a warrior after being dumped in a vat of chemical waste. He battles corruption and crime in a small American town. The people of Tromaville will never be the same again, now that they have a super-hero to call their own. They will rise up against the "Power Elite" with The Toxic Avenger leading the way. "...Fifteen years after its theatrical release, The Toxic Avenger has become one of the most popular and recognizable superhuman heroes in film history." This Unrated director's cut features the full 'Head Crushing' scene censored from most of the previous Canadian and US versions. Also includes a very informative and funny commentary track by Lloyd Kaufman

Summary: I LovE ToxiE!!!
Review: I saw this movie for the first timje about a year ago. I have watched it too many times, but not ever enough. I never ever get sick of this movie. The "head-crushing" scene is what won me over. The other good part of this movie is when Toxie takes charge at a Taco-Bell like establishment. This movie is full of sick s**t. Be sure to watch this Troma Classic with friends. I also strongly recommend "Terror Firmer".

Summary: One Heck of a Horror comedy!
Review: I personally think this is one of the finest Examples of Low Budget Independent Horror films and this is Troma's Best.
It's about a Nerd that falls into a Vat of Nuclear waste transforming into a Hideious Monster that suddenly becomes a hero by cleaning the dirt ( or Criminals) for the sake of his town. sure the acting is laughable, but the Gore is impressive.
i would recommend this to fans of horror. It's kind of like " The Incredible Hulk" meets " Re-Animator".

Summary: Cool B movie, but gross at times.
Review: One of the first of bed-taste horror Comedies From New York's Troma Pictures was also a gross out cult hit and may be the film that started the cut-them-up-T&A-gore-teen-films of the 80s, yet the gory parts are made for laughs. Followed by the some wath dumb THE TOXIC AVENGER 2 (1989) and Cartoon series. 1984. Troma. 90 MINS (Cut to 82 Minutes, cut again to 79 minutes). Rated R for Extreme Horror Violence, Strong Language and Sexuality and for comie Mischief.

Summary: Lotsa cheese, humor, gore, fun, innovation...worthwhile!
Review: I know just about everyone has seen this, but I just have to say that this film trods on such unique and innovative ground that you just have to enjoy it. The acting is over the top as is necessary for Troma. It fits perfectly for the world that Lloyd Kaufman has created. It almost seems unreal that someone like Melvin really exists in this world. Just point a Dork-O-Meter at this kid and it will melt, but when he transforms into Toxie he becomes a damn ugly Don Juan/Charles Bronson/Superman. I love old people and have a ton of respect for them, but when that old lady gets beat down by those two thugs, I couldn't stop laughing. Anyway this film has all the ingredients that make Troma a force to be reckoned with thrown right in. Toxic Avenger is one of my favorites alongside Tromeo and Juliet. I recommend you buy it on DVD. Very Fun!

Summary: Lloyd Kaufman is the Pier Paolo Passolini of B-movies!
Review: One of the best b-movies of all time is told with gratuitous gore, bouncing breasts, and bad acting. This low budget, low taste epic from the wonderful folks at Troma reserves a place in the b-movie hall of fame. Very entertaining and addictive for cult and Troma movie fans and an all to real for todays standards environmental message. This hillarious cult favorute is a must see!
