this movie is such a great cult classic to me. this is the definition to indy cinema. Its the troma s superhero. And this movie has over the top action and tearing of limbs and bad acting...I love the movie

80s. That's what struck me about the movie. It is so very 80s. It's also funny, though; a definite top-of-the-line b-movie.

Gets a little too uncomfortable at times, but it is what it is. The "edgy just to be edgy" moments and the misogynistic undertones make parts of it fall really flat.

As far as exploitation goes it hits the right marks. I just think that by not taking some of the acts of violence seriously it makes them seem poorly done. The whole kid thing was obviously in the movie to be exploitative, but the way the characters acted towards it just seemed extra, extra, extra trashy.

Hilarious gore-romp. Very gross but also very funny; nothing is sacred here as old ladies are beaten up, seeing eye dogs shot, and little kids squashed by cars. Way over the top but with an odd, endearing little charm all its own -- for those who can appreciate it. Followed by multiple sequels, this may be the only gore flick ever to inspire a TV cartoon series: "Toxic Crusaders!"

This movie pulls out all the stops in its quest to be ridiculously and grotesquely bad. The editing, the acting, the horror, the humor, the sexploitation, this is truly all kinds of awful. In fact, it's quite possibly the most spectacularly awful movie I've seen, which makes it much more interesting and enjoyable than most of the superhero and monster movies that it emulates and crosses between.

As good as any exploitation film (that's meant as praise), the Toxic Avenger works perfectly well as a movie that ascends its modest nature by being self aware and really good fun. In fact as a super hero movie it is one of the best, surpassing with ease the long-winded and self indulgent Nolan Batman flicks.

Very ugly and mean-spirited. Word of caution: a twelve year-old boy is run over by a car, twice, and the camera positively leers at his twisted, mangled body. Only watch this if you are a complete masochist.

This B-level self-conscious parody is way more entertaining than it should be. It makes me laugh that a children's cartoon was made from this.

One of the great cult classics by Troma and indy cinema in general. Never ceases to be as brilliantly entertaining as the first time I saw it.

Is this a Troma film? I jerked off to it in what was a very awkward afternoon. Lots of boobs. Lots of bad violence. An enjoyable experience for a shitty film.
