Leave it to Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz to take typical superhero tropes and twist in to something wonderfully gruesome and absurd. Full Review

Cruddy, primal, extremely violent, and fairly entertaining, it captures some of the snot-flicking spirit of the old EC comics. Full Review

The humor is not merely sophomoric and silly, it's aggressively so, and the bargain basement gore effects are over-the-top and excessive. Full Review

...This madcap spoof on THE HULK has plenty of ingredients that could make it a winner....An outlandish mix of gory violence and realistic special effects...

It all falls apart after an hour, chunks of the preceding entertainment reappearing as random montages. Full Review

Rating: B -- Still manages to trigger disgust and a handful of laughs, representing not only a key Troma financial victory, but it's quite possibly their finest original work. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- It's your basic nerd revenge fantasy, only decked out in gore and over-the-top, bad-taste gags. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

15 years after its theatrical release, The Toxic Avenger has become one of the most popular and recognizable superhuman heroes in film history. He is America's favorite hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength. An unprecedented success, The Toxic Avenger spawned two sequels, an animated television series, "Toxic Crusaders," and a full line of Tromatic merchandise. Join Toxie as he crushes heads, rips off arms, and takes women to that very special toxic climax.

Product Description:

A 98-pound weakling falls into a barrel of toxic waste and is transformed into a towering hulk of sludge wearing a tutu. At times very gross, the film has developed a cult following.
