The Toxic Avenger is a simple reminder that the best super hero is from my home state of New Jersey.
Of course I love this toxic troma lol. This should never be remade, its already perfect. But now that I see Elijah Wood is attached, hell yes!
One of the very best of the very worst movies out there. Or that I've seen at least.
I mean that in the best way possible, too. Just utterly disgusting awesomeness.
It's Rude! Crude! and Lewd!
And I Love it!
Over-The-Top!
Gratuitous violence, perky mammary glands, camp and cheesy goodness!
Spooktober II: To Hell With the 80s
Well, now I understand what people mean when they say James Gunn is from the TROMA school....
...and WOW.... WOW....
I've heard rumors they may be doing a remake of this movie, and I honestly don't think it's possible unless they stripped this out of every f**ked up thing that happens. And in that case, let's be honest, it wouldn't be the same movie, or the movie period. The humor and exploitative tone seamlessly meld together in a way that creates this fascinating contrast, a synergy so bizarre that you can take your eyes off the screen.
WOW.
As I explained, the villains in this movie are so absurd to such a ridiculous…
One of the greatest movies ever made! A true superhero and the only one for me is the Toxic Avenger!
I love this movie so much! I remember watching it on USA Up All Night when I was a kid and feeling this incredible mixture of awe, excitement, and disgust all rolled together and I’m pretty sure that was the catalyst in creating the person I am today. Even on early 90’s cable it was wildly inappropriate and since it was always after my parents went to bed, I just ate it all up.
Absolutely not for everybody, 110% for me!
I ❤️ THE MONSTER HERO
This is a beautiful trashterpiece. It may be cheap and schlocky, but I'll be damned if it isn't entertaining as hell. Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz poured their heart and soul into this and it shows. It's practically bursting at the seams with creative energy.
For some reason, despite loving this the first time I watched it, I never got around to watching it again, until now. Nor did I ever get around to watching the sequels. After watching this now, in HD, it not only holds up spectacularly, but I loved it more than ever. Hopefully, the sequels are just as good, because I'm all in this time. This is the best bad movie ever made.
Never in the history of cinema has the term 'it's so bad, it's good' been more appropriate to describe a film.
Take the biggest putz ever and put him in a tutu and throw him into a barrel of toxic waste, and out comes the suave but hideous-looking hero known as The Toxic Avenger!
'Welcome to Tromaville, Toxic Chemical Capital of the World'
While Troma Entertainment is known for their low budget campy B-movies, this unique blend of horror and a early superhero movie is a great time and became a big hit in the midnight movie circuit of the mid-80s. Right from the opening scene this is clearly an 80s product as we get a look around a gym at a bunch of nutty characters working out in their spandex, male bikini bottoms, and of course short shorts. And nutty…
