This is one of the most sick and twisted comedy horror flicks ever, especially famous for the outlandish violence. Ha.

MCT:May 20, 2008I first saw this movie in the 80's on television and loved the franchise ever since. I just saw it again on DVD and I have to say, there was a lot more going on in the movie they couldn't show on television. Oh yeah, and it's still great.

MCT:May 14, 2008Melvin the maintenance guy who works at Tromaville's Health Club and who happens to be a scaredy cat, a slim weakling and a nerd gets picked on, pushed around and scorned by beautiful women and by other health club members. When he is conned by a beautiful woman thinking he would get a kiss from her. She tells him to close his eyes and that he would get a real good surprise. While his eyes are closed the beautiful woman signals one of her female friends to give her the piglet that's under her arms. When she picks up the piglet she tells her female friend quietly to turn off the lights. While it is dark she tells Melvin in a seductive way to pucker up. When he does this the lights come on and
everyone in the Health Club stands around and watches. The beautiful woman tells Melvin to open his eyes and when he does he freaks out that he kissed a piglet on the snout. Everyone who is there is laughing and pointing at him. Melvin in his state of shock starts running around screaming and tramatized running up flights of stairs and finally running down a long hallway. Without thinking he jumps out the window into a toxic waste barrel. (Rent or buy the movie to see what happens next. Great to watch if your a fan of superheros or if your into low budget sci-fi/horror/ splattergore b-grade movies.) -

In the town of Tromaville New Jersey, janitor nerd Melvin Fern (Mark Torgel) has been picked on and bullied by the jocks at the Tromaville gym until a prank goes horribly wrong when he falls into a barrel of toxic chemicals. The material somehow transforms him into a muscular and powerful mutant creature called "The Toxic Avenger" (Mitchell Cohen) and has a powerful instinct to kill only evil people and save Innocent people. He soon becomes the town's monster hero and falls in love with a lovely blind woman named Sarah (Andree Maranda) but the local crooks especially the wicked Mayor Belgoody (Pat Ryan Jr.) who all wants him dead.
A brilliantly hilarious, entertaining and gory as hell horror comedy that became Troma's landmark film and made the studio the popular cult independent studio that it is today. Yes the acting is laughable and the film gets a little cheesy, but this is pure escapism at it's best! The film was originally given an "X" rating for it's extreme violence and gore such numerous head crushing and brutality. But the movie went on to become one of the greatest cult movies of all time, this is definitely a movie for those with a strong stomach and warped sense of humor. -

A gem of a movie from TROMA(One of the first) that has a great plotline with a twist. The gore is top notch and definetly of low budget material. The cast is strong for what it is. Young Melvin is defininetly the strong point of the pre-monster Cohen.
-
MCT:April 22, 2008Solid cheese, but worth it if you love bad movies. Made in Jersey for all my fellow garden state people.

A Troma Films schlock-filled, low budget cult classic that revels in its badness. Ultra-violent, somewhat depraved, very campy and funny as hell. Long live Toxie!
-
MCT:January 17, 2008
Troma's masterpiece! this is the movie that made me into a fan of the popular low budget cult movie company known as "Troma". This screamingly funny and gory as hell horror comedy is a spoof on superheros and it is one of the most beloved cult movies around.
I've been a fan of it since i was 11 watching it on USA up-all night and when i got into High School i bought the uncut video version and i loved it. Each time i watch this movie, i get a smile on my face and love it even more as it never fails to entertain me. -

I shouldn't recommend this to anyone. If you don't like most of the movies on my list stay away from this. It's stupid and disgusting. 5 stars!! LOL

One of my favorites about a nerd who falls into toxic sludge and transforms into a superhero. Masturbation to a dead kids crushed skull and weight room head smash are the highlights.
-
MCT:November 21, 2007Strangely reminiscent of Sloth of the Goonies, but don't let that deter you! The Toxic Avenger is a true cult classic with both humor and lots of action, not to mention some really gross and creative fight scenes.
-
MCT:November 3, 2007
A gem. Mecca for insane B-Movies. Fantastic and quirky. A great movie to kill a night with friends or even alone.

I couldn't miss this movie in my halloween Tromarathon. Maybe the greatest troma movie, with "the toxic avenger" a new hero is born.
-

One of the best b-movies of all time. Lloyd Kaufman is a personal friend of mine, and his movie is awesome. Blood, breasts, and beasts - what more can you want in a movie?
-
MCT:August 25, 2007
Great cult classic about a whimpy health club janitor, who get's transformed into a superhuman monster who fits crime and seeks revenge against the people who tormented him. Lots of gore, some of the gross parts are quite funny, like the kid getting his head ran over!
-
MCT:July 20, 2007Splatter flick of the first degree. This was regular viewing for my mates and I back in the late 80's (along with Attack of the killer Tomatos). Ridiculously horrifying stuff.

Can you believe we used to live across the street from the Troma office when we lived in Hell's Kitchen? This was one of the first movie posters I had on my wall as a teen. Thanks, mom and dad, for letting me see this when I was so young.

If you ever need a break from lifes seriousness and want to have a laugh this is the film for you. Providing you don't mind terrible acting and extreme violence.

I saw this movie when I was 16,some scenes were really fucked up, and I loved it!The effects might look cheesy now but when this came out,there was nothing like it.kinda like the first time you see a porno when you were used to rated R and when you see actual penetration,you're like"whoa!" Here's the plot- nerdy Melvin is picked on by the citizens of tromaville.Then one day after being pushed too far he falls in a drum of toxic waste.He gets ugly but he gets strong.He can also sense evil.He kicks a lot of bad guys asses.One scene that made me sick was when he uses cigar face's balls as a punching bag!He gets a hot blind girlfriend.Shows the town he's a hero and that's all I remember.

There will always be a special place in my heart for this movie. Reminds me of middle school. Stupid, funny, and wonderful...
-
MCT:May 29, 2007I don't get how that movie got Cult status, it's boring, and the gore is so poorly made, I just don't see the point.
-
MCT:May 25, 2007Is it wrong that I kind of enjoyed this? I guess it's the alcohol speaking. Like that 'Wild Zero', this is best enjoyed in the aftermath of several beers.
-
MCT:May 23, 2007
There will always be a soft spot in my heart for Lloyd Kaufmann and Troma films. This is the pick of the mutant litter...
