Review - The Toxic Avenger

"The Toxic Avenger" is probably the ultimate example of a B movie. It's a science-fiction/action movie, which has become a long-running series.
Melvin Junko is the prototypical nerd - a skinny janitor at a health club in Tromaville, New Jersey (the Toxic Waste Capital Of The World). Insulted and bullied, one day after a particularly cruel prank, he jumps out a window into a barrel of toxic waste. Melvin is transformed into The Toxic Avenger...a monstrous, hulking creature who sets out to clean up the town of all bad guys.
Oscar material, this ain't, folks. This is about as low-budget and low-brow as you are going to get. The best way I can adequately sum it up is...it's so bad, it's almost good. Almost. The majority of the movie is gore, topless women, and more gore.
If you watch this movie...about the main reason you're doing it is so you can say you did.
Starring - Andree Maranda, Mitch Cohen, Mark Torgl, Pat Ryan, and Jennifer Prichard. Directed by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz.
Time - 1 hour, 27 minutes. Rated - Unrated (Violence, language, nudity, adult situations)
