The Best Kind of Trash

The king of trash movies. It's so effortlessly entertaining that things that should be offensive are easily laughed off. It's the only movie I can think of that can make a young child getting run over by a car side splittingly hilarious.

a tinge of Ed Wood

My 10/10 rating assumes that you like this movie before you've seen it. "The Toxic Avenger" is the ultimate movie for anyone into 1980s schlock. No doubt it was intended mainly for teenage boys (I lost track of how many naked women there were here). But overall, it's great to see a movie never self-conscious or anything like that (I mean, come on, look at that ridiculous outfit that the title character wears); the movie's really gross and proud of it. Troma must still be proud of this flick.

Oh, and of course Marisa Tomei has a small appearance in the movie. Who ever would have guessed that one of the people starring in this would later win an Oscar?

One of the All-Time Cult Classics

Tromaville has a monstrous new hero. The Toxic Avenger is born when mop boy Melvin Junko (Mark Torgl) falls into a vat of toxic waste. Now evildoers will have a lot to lose.

"The Toxic Avenger" is the very definition of the so-bad-it's-good movie, and really, so is much of what Troma produced in the 1980s. Over-the-top acting and characters, but always done tongue-in-cheek, you cannot help but laugh at the film, even when it is utterly disturbing.

Lloyd Kaufman and his crew were never afraid to pull the punches. Unfortunately for them, bad cinema has caught with them and their latest releases are not as edgy as their earlier endeavors. Running over a kid's head? Pointing a shotgun at a baby? Very edgy in 1984, but in 2015 it no longer is (no doubt due to independent filmmakers now trying to one-up Troma!).
