The Toxic Avenger
Not sure I need to go too deep into the plot I'm sure most if not all people have seen The Toxic Avenger already but I just watched the Blu Ray over the weekend which looks great and packed with a ton of features giving great value for the price. Any way on to the film.
When a practical joke goes wrong Melvin the mop boy ends up head first in a barrel of toxic waste and is transformed from socially awkward wimp into the musle bound Toxic Avenger. With his new found physical strength Toxie hits the streets of Tromaville to clean up all the scum and it's corrupt mayor and towns officials and return the town to the good honest folk of Tromaville.
The Toxic Avenger is an awesome film its got everything you want fun over the top gore larger than life characters humour hot 80s ladies great practical effects the transformation scene looked fantastic and gross stretching skin bursting boils gut wrenching screams the lot.
I know Troma films are not everyone's cup of tea but you gotta hand it to them for they know how to make fun films. It's films like this and Street Trash that I can watch over and over again and never get bored. When ever I'm down it's films like this that just pick me up and bring a big smile to my face. For that reason like Street Trash The Toxic Avenger is a perfect scoring film for me. I'm sure very few if anyone will agree.
The Toxic Avenger is not just a good time its a F
ING AWESOME time.
