Review of The Toxic Avenger (1984) by Elias K — 12 Jul 2010

This movie is all that is right and good and wrong and bad about the 80s. A cleaning boy turning into a toxic monster, a chain-smoking health-concious gym gang that likes to run over little kids, a Nazi police officer, an old lady leading a white slavery ring, I could go on and on, but if you crave first-class-trash that makes you laugh and puke at the same time, go for it, because it's so full of fun and energy, lacking any sense for humiliating self-awareness making it a joy to watch and giggle.
