Summary: This Movie Was Pretty Darn Good
Review: This Movie Had Great Effects and I Love The Part Where The Kid Jumps Out The Window,Lands In A Can Of Chemical Waste,Get's On Fire And........Turns Into The Toxic Avenger.Lots Of Great Parts.If I Were To Rate That Movie Id Rate It R for A Few Seens Of Gore.By The Way When You Look On The Back Of The Box There Will Be Something On The Bottom That Says:"Explosively Funny.Not For The Exclusively Serious" Not True.It Isn't Funny At All.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun at is finest
Review: Ever sat through films that ran over the edges with campiness, gore,self mockery, and everything that makes cheesiness great? If you haven't then this is truly the way to be introduced. This is probably the film i remember the most from the eighties. Sure the great 80's had classics like the indiana jones trilogy, phantasm 2, and so on, but somehow this flick went over all that and delivered everything that made movies great. Packed with comedy, this story of a supergeek that is constantly mocked and taunted is more than you bargained for. Stuff starts going over your head when a prank against this particular nerd is literally "tricked off a building", naturally he falls into a vat of toxic waste and so begins the odyssey of Toxie. After this you are treated with relentless gore, a compassionate hero, his blind girlfriend, cheesy acting, and everything that is politically incorrect in our minds. Toxie goes out to enact revenge on his agressors, on the way leading us to endless entertainment. Troma proves that they are the best in schlock with the title that made them titans of good film sludge. Mind you this is not a film for average viewers, more for fans of the horror/sci-fi genre. Also understand that this is a film not to be taken seriously but more to just have fun with. Regardless of its limited appeal most will fall in love with the toxic hero, hell even kids will. Although this dvd edition is more graphic than the cut i remember seeing, i will certainly let my child see the glory of troma when he comes of age. BE WARNED the Toxic Avenger is an acquired taste, but nonetheless a timeless classic that can turn people into loving all that is good in bad films The sound on the dvd is not fantastic but its as good as its gonna get for it, definately better than the video. It also includes fun extras that you are bound to love. Buy it if you like to try new things and like to have fun. Don't buy it if you can't have a little fun or support gore, but you will be missing out!

Summary: Gruesome but great!
Review: I just want to say that this is one of the best movies of all time! It's about a janitor who falls into a pile of toxic waste and turns into a creature that has a muscular build that would make just about anyone jealous, and he has little cells in his body called Tromatons that are like evil radars. Whenever somebody does something evil when he's nearby, he kills them. Some parts are gross, such as the part where they showed a dog getting shot, but it still has some funny parts, like when the Toxic Avenger pulls a guy's arm out of his socket, but the guy doesn't notice until he sees his arm's bloody stump. Pretty gross, but still a good movie. I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of horror movies.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: HULK-LIKE SUPERHERO IS A TREAT!
Review: I just bought this recently and I thought it was good, crowd-pleasing fare, a trashy, tongue-in-cheek superhero spoof that is best enjoyed if you don't take it seriously. The way in which the Toxic Avenger kills the baddies is often gruesome, but inventive and I particularly liked his relationship with the blind girl. One classic piece of action is when our hero teaches a hit-and-run sadist a valuable lesson, culminating in the creep's car exploding into a spectacular ball of flame! Despite a sentimental finale, this is a cult gem that pokes some fun at the '80s.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Know What I Am Talking About!
Review: Do not be fooled by the ratings! While this movie is a horror movie icon, it is by no means a blockbuster! It is very cheasy, has bad acting, is dubbed in most parts, and is just plaing sick in others. Dont watch this unless you are in the mood for a movie that is very different.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pleasing troma movie one of their better films
Review: Lloyd and michael are at it again redeeming themeselves from previous movies such as "sugar cookies" and "Big gus whats the fuss". I am more a fan of troma's history rather than it's movies, and this movie is definately an essencial in the troma library. If you like troma you will like this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is sick, twisted, and demented. I loved it!
Review: One day I was cruising around at the video store when this movie caught my eye. I had heard of the kids cartoon, but the box said unrated directors cut-suggesting that it wasnt a kid freindly flick. I rented it out of curiosity and found it to be one of the funniest movies I had ever seen. Its a riot!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER MADE
Review: Toxic Avenger is I think is one of the best movies ever made. It's an all american classic. The gore is cheesy, the humor is downright sick, and of course it's a Troma Team movie. The two spawned sequels were fair. Not as good as the orignal, but still need some recognition. I just can't wait to see Toxic Avenger 4: Citizen Toxie. Also check out my toxic avenger website. It's been pleasing fans for 3 years all over the world.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
