Pros: funny over the top storyline coupled with some inventive gore make this low budget schlockfest a cult classic Cons: the ending of the film seems a bit abrupt
The Toxic Avenger: Troma Films Rating: USA: Unrated/ USA: R (cut)/ UK: 18
Author’s note: This review is part of a write-off covering Troma films’ 1985 cult classic, The Toxic Avenger. Megasoul was cool enough...
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 ...
Pros: Cheesy and weird, funny Cons: When it's not cheesy or weird, it's a little boring
Welcome to the Toxic Write-Off, organized by megasoul! If you’d like to see other epinions on this crazy cult film, check out these great writers: wokelstein, mike_bracken, megasoul, mangiotto, zentropajk, pyschovant, brando814, brundledan,...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
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.
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...
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...
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...
