A masterpiece it's not, but what makes this one special is the sheer stupidity, the comedy, the over-acting, and the gore. All-in-all the most politically incorrect piece of film ever made. Great fun for any cult classic lovers out there...

We have fight sequences, road action, a super hero, drama, romance, and some performances. None of it particularly good but it sure is fun throughout most of the short run time.

>*"For your information, everyone knows monsters prefer blondes."* The pinnacle of fun entertaining self-aware B-movie madness alongside *Riki-Oh*, *Evil Dead II*, *Killer Klowns from Outer Space*, *The VelociPastor*... This one's overactive and energetic, the comedy is mostly ridiculously silly but at other times so dark and cruel it's a little traumatizing (first kill). I do wish more of the jokes landed but a good 80% of them do. Lots of funny one-liners but you can always use more in these movies. The voice of the Avenger gets me every time. The practical effects and makeup are worth a mention. The initial transformation scene, the "cooking with the Toxic Avenger" segment and the ninja guy are my favorite moments. Such a fun watch!

All of the B (as in 'Bad') movie shortcomings with none of the charm, irony or satire of 2006's superior _Poultrygeist_. While _The Toxic Avenger_ lays the groundwork for Troma features to come, I wasn't troma-tized enough.
