Movie Reviews of The Toxic Avenger (21st Anniversary Edition)
Movie Review: Only In Tromaville Can You Get Away With Murder In Public
Summary: 4 Stars
It's pretty tame by today's standards, but the Toxic Avenger is still one of the best movies of the gore/horror genre that you can find today. In it's day, it had some pretty shocking scenes. How far have when come in society that it doesn't even phase me to see a kid getting his head run over by a car? That is only one of the many scenes that are very memorable from this movie. In the world of many superheroes, there is only one Toxic Avenger, a hero that can kill people and be cheered instead of arrested. If you love B-rated movies from the 80s, and this film is proudly B-rated, then this is for you. A classic for sure, but not everyone will find it appealing.
Summary of The Toxic Avenger (21st Anniversary Edition)
Welcome to TROMAVILLE, NEW JERSEY - a small American town, terrorized by criminals. The town's corrupt mayor sits idly by, while muggers, robbers and teenage punks victimize helpless citizens. Among the residents of Tromaville is MELVIN, a nerdy emaciated janitor at the local health club. That is, until he becomes THE TOXIC AVENGER!A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong as Melvin is cast through a third story window into a vat of hazardous toxic waste. However, an unexpected metamorphosis takes place. As the chemicals take hold of his body, Melvin turns into the TOXIC AVENGER, doer of good, and brutal mauler of evil! The rest, as they say, is history! The excitement is non-stop as the hero sets out to single handedly wipe out the forces of evil that torment the people of Tromaville. THE TOXIC AVENGER is non-stop entertainment that will leave the viewers glowing from the fun.

The most widely known of Troma Films' stable of low-budget exploitation, The Toxic Avenger is an exuberantly crude poke at superheroes and monster movies, delivered with a healthy dose of cheap gags, splattery special effects, and T&A. It's also a genuinely funny film, and its no-holds-barred attitude has a grubby charm that eludes most gross-out comedies. The Toxic Avenger opens with an absurdly vicious crew preying upon Melvin, a nebbishy janitor. Their pranks land him in a vat of chemical waste, which transforms him into a lumpy monster that deals out gruesome revenge. Directors (and Troma company heads) Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz aim low in detailing "Toxie's" vengeance spree, and the subsequent carnage should please gorehounds. But they're also savvy enough recognize the film's limitations, and wisely camp things with plenty of slapstick. The result is a frantic and funny mess that should amuse even the most dour cult movie fan. --Paul Gaita
