Welcome to Tromaville, New Jersey – a small American town, terrorized by criminals. The town’s corrupt mayor sits idly by, while muggers, robbers and teenage punks victimize helpless citizens. Among the residents of Tromaville is Melvin, a nerdy emaciated janitor at the local health club. That is, until he becomes The Toxic Avenger! A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong as Melvin is cast through a third story window into a vat of hazardous toxic waste. However, an unexpected metamorphosis takes place. As the chemicals take hold of his body, Melvin turns into the Toxic Avenger, doer of good, and brutal mauler of evil! The rest, as they say, is history! The excitement is non-stop as the hero sets out to single handedly wipe out the forces of evil that torment the people of Tromaville. The Toxic Avenger is non-stop entertainment that will leave the viewers glowing from the fun. See the film that spawned the comic book, website, cartoon, action figures and three sequels to date! Experience the action that made Troma Entertainment a cinematic legend! Still a classic three decades later! See The Toxic Avenger! (Troma Entertainment)

B-movie studio Troma has produced a lot of crap and the Toxic Avenger franchise is their flagship. A stupid script, overacting actors, creepy 80s disco music, a splatter scene here and there, and most importantly, a super-hero, an impetuous enforcer of the law, punishing criminals and helping citizens in need. Originally a scrawny and shy geek, he inadvertently bathed in toxic waste and transformed into a muscleman with "unclean skin" and a ballet dress around his waist. A proper B-movie that doesn’t take itself seriously at all and whose utter stupidity is the funniest thing about it. Perfect for a painless brain flush.

A twisted and rather entertaining paraphrase of superhero movies. It's "sick", but mostly it's fun and very wacky. Don’t expect good performances and technical aspects, or an imaginative script, but loads of great ideas and fun.

This movie is incredible fun for thick-skinned fans for whom Troma is their Bible. After falling into a barrel of toxic waste, the bullied cleaner and outsider Melvin Junko acquires superhuman abilities and, with a mop in his hand, decides to literally clean up Tromaville of all its bizarre criminals. The rest is history. If you don't like this movie, you can immediately save time and write off the whole Troma catalogue. I can't help it, I enjoy this as a "guilty pleasure" - and I am completely sober and clear-minded.

I am only rating how much fun I had, and I’m not gonna lie, I laughed a lot. The unbridled 80s feeling full of nudity, faux gore and intrusive disco songs is present to an extent that even Pamela Anderson's chest doesn't have, and when the toxic mop-wielding superhero finally enters the stage (after a very harrowing first quarter of an hour) (Marvel really slept hard here), a very entertaining rush begins. It is, of course, stupid in every sense, the actors are terrible and the logic is absent, but at the same time it is endearingly over the top and at times dangerously funny and self-parodic. If you're a fan of these unserious corners of cinema, I'm sure you've always dreamed of seeing a monster made of garbage frolicking with his sexy girlfriend at sunset – here you’ll get that with interest.

The aesthetics of the 1980s B-movies were really strange - a moronic story, annoying disco, but also a sympathetic hero, plenty of busty blondes, a whirlwind of bloody violence, retarded humor, and a fairly sympathetic gradation, enough to flush your brain to the brink of lobotomy. The Toxic Avenger fulfills all of these aspects to a T. There’s not a drop of seriousness, lots of immortal catchphrases, and I give it four stars! PS: Toxie on the movie poster is the best.
