Product ReviewsThe Toxic Avenger (21st Anniversary Edition) (DVD, 1984)

Save Me Toxie!

Cult classic from our friends at Troma! Troma is synonymous with low-budget, badly acted, worse scripts and overall what-the-heck-were-they-thinking movies. Still, Eyes loves thems (; and Toxic Avenger is their masterpiece.

The timeless tale of a weakling who becomes a hero. You know the type, getting sand kicked in their faces at the beach, never getting the girl. No, Toxie did not send away for one of kits on the back of old MAD magazines! He just fell into a tub of toxic waste and so The Toxic Avenger was born! So what if he wears a tutu, he is all mutant manliness - you serf!

Sorry, I get carried away. Toxie gets the girl, beats the town jerks Slug and Bozo and saves the day! Toxic Avenger is low budget, like a few dollar type of budget. Do not expect Laurence Olivier to be playing Toxie. This is a crude movie with lots of highschool boy humor and T&A. But it is FUNNY and they meant it to be funny which is the hardest part of comedy.

The rest of the series is not as good but I still got the box set. If that is too much Toxie goodness for your wallet, then get this 2-disc edition.

A classic from the Troma Vaults

The Toxic Avenger is awesome, you'll enjoy it as long as you go into it expecting very little. This film is a piece of Movie History. If you hate B-level movies, don't buy this, but if you love B-level stuff buy it now.

The acting is bad, the story is dumb, but this movie is great because it's so bad. It's funny, it's action packed, and it teaches us that beauty really is skin deep.

Final Verdict:

5/5
