Review of The Toxic Avenger (1984) by Brett H — 13 Apr 2013
What makes a person fall in love with The Toxic Avenger when they see it? Running over ten year old kids on bicycles, beating up sweet old ladies, shooting animals, sticking little people in washing machines and having sex with blind women.
That about covers it. The film itself is trashy and awful, but it knows how disgusting and awful it is to the point where immense entertainment value can be derived from it. It was one of Troma Entertainment's big, if not biggest, hits, and seemed to find its way into pop culture in the 1980's.
Heck, it even spawned three sequels and an animated TV show. It also has probably one of the best lines in movie history: "It is our destiny to follow the orders!!!!" If you haven't seen this gem, I highly recommend that you do, especially if you love trashy movies.
It's just one of those movies that you will never forget.
