The Toxic Offender...I mean...Avenger

by phungus phungus is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 29 '05
Pros: Very creative death scenes, grossly funny
Cons: Not much plot, too silly at times
I’ve wanted to see The Toxic Avenger since I first heard of it many years ago. It is a low-budget horror comedy full of skin and gore, and one of the films that made Troma into what it is today – a producer of low-budget horror comedies full of ...

Toxie turns 21...does this mean he's of legal age to get s**t-faced?

by deadmilkboy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 26 '05
Pros: The hideously deformed monster hero's 21, and Troma's new "Golden Edition" is drunk with goodies.
Cons: Not everything from the previous DVD release returns for this package.
After having already reviewed a great big Toxic Avenger boxed set in the past, I thought I would never have to bring myself to write another review of Toxie's big screen introduction. I have been so busy catching up ...

Gross, Absurd, and a Whole Lot of Fun

by Carrathon , May 03 '06
Pros: Good music, campy fun.
Cons: A bit too extreme in some parts, kind of stupid.
My friend Michael was dead wrong about the theme music from the cult classic The Toxic Avenger. Accurately transcribing the tune that Michael erroneously hummed is nigh impossible without writing the actual musical notes, but trust me when I tell you ...

A hideously mutated review of superhuman size and strength

by flash-hammer Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 19 '04
Pros: Fun,cheesy,silly
Cons: the UK DVD is butchered, might be a bit offensive for some
I have no idea why it has taken me so long to see The Toxic Avenger movies. When I was a kid I used to enjoy the Toxic Crusaders cartoon, and still have several of the Playmates toys action figures somewhere. But, the day finally came when ...

WRITE OFF: A story about a "monster hero" who wears a tutu.

by shadow8 , Aug 07 '00
Pros: An appealing "monster hero," some cool special effects, and lots of schlock fun for fans of the genre.
Cons: Some jokes misfire; also, this film is not suitable for the squeamish, or those who are deprived of a sense of humor.
NOTE: Our fabulous host, Megasoul , the proclaimed Joe Bob Briggs of Epinions has decided to take us on a tour through the town of Tromaville, NJ.

As your tour guide for this part of the ride, I will be exploring the many nuances...

WRITE-OFF - Toxic snore

by energy81 , Aug 07 '00
Pros: can leave to go to the bathroom and not miss anything
Cons: the most boring gore I have ever encountered
Yes, it’s another write-off! I have to thank Megasoul for putting it together, as I’ve been stuck for something to write about. Thanks for giving me something I can sink my teeth into! Please check out these extremely talented epinionators...

Super Geek or Super Hero? (Toxic Avenger Write Off)

by knix Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 07 '00
Pros: lots of action, gore and violence, it's a cult classic
Cons: acting is atrocious, story is goofy
I hadn't seen The Toxic Avenger for a good many years...and after viewing it again this afternoon I now remember why. However, I didn't really remember much about it when MegaSoul invited me to join this write off and I agreed to take part. Travis, I...

IT'S an IT......and we kill ITS! (The Toxic Write Off)

by SqueebinatorX , Aug 07 '00
Pros: Gory deaths, a true love story :), gratuitous boob shots
Cons: no logic to the movie
This toxin spewing review is just one of 16 dealing with this environmentally charged movie. The other participants of this waste dump of a write off(just kidding it's fun) are wokeltstein, brundledan, mangiotto, zentropajk, mike_bracken, psychovant,...

Dissapointed? A little...

by Kwee , Feb 08 '03
Pros: Cheesy, campy, somewhat fun, and plenty weird. "The one that started it all" for Troma.
Cons: Really choppy in places, annoying dubbing, bad acting, some lackluster special effects.
I apologize if this review isn't as wondermously spectacular as all of my others (nudge, wink), but my stomach is full of really rancid broccoli and cheese which Gaviscon and Tums seem to be no match for.

Which reminds me...the idea of rancid...

Radioactive Waist (The Toxic Avenger Write-off)

by Memento-Mori , Aug 07 '00
Pros: Really funny in a "someone gave them money to do this?" kinda way
Cons: This is Troma's best?
In an effort to clean up Epinions.com, Megasoul has been given a grant from the government’s “Superfund” to shovel some reviews of the quintessential Troma film, The Toxic Avenger. Aside from our project leader Megasoul, we have...

Toxic Avenger - Whenever I See Evil I Have To MASH People!

by shaithis Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 21 '01
Pros: Gore. Violence. Nudity. A hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength. Need more?
Cons: Low budget (perhaps not a con at all!). Andree Maranda reveals nothing. Dated.
Indie film company Troma's main claim to fame, The Toxic Avenger was a refreshing breath of fresh air in the eighties when horror had become mainstream and terribly formulated (masked man, runs after topless woman at a campground/sorority/town). Horror...

The Birth Of A Legend

by LoneWOlf316 , Mar 07 '01
Pros: Low Budget Masterpiece
Cons: It's maybe a bit too cheezy
It seems that this may be the only review on this movie that isn't a write-off. But, anyway...

As most of you know, I have been a long time fan of cheezy movies (I loved "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" for cryin' out loud). So, it should...

Intoxicating.

by evanfury , Apr 02 '00
Pros: Bad acting, hilarious, raunchy, even clever.
Cons: Bad acting, predictable, not for all tastes.
"The Toxic Avenger" is one of those movies than mainstream America would love to hate. Tasteless humor, picking on minorities and the disabled, sex, violence, gore, you name it. It's not aesthetically pleasing or well-directed, acted, edited...
