Review of The Toxic Avenger (1984) by Andrew A — 03 May 2009

Whenever people talked about the Toxic Avenger they usually say its the worst movie ever made. Well, no offense to those people, but that's ridiculous. The reason people think this is so bad is the cheesy acting, ridiculous plot, corny dialog, and shocking violence. Interestingly enough, the reason why I think this is so good is the cheesy acting, ridiculous plot, and corny dialog. Not so much the shocking violence.

Its so obvious that the Kaufman purposely made this to be as cheesy and campy as it is. I mean, come on people. Nobody walks out of Rocky Horror Picture Show saying â??worst movie ever!â?? Its the same thing! The town folks loving Toxie, the most evil mayor ever, the sex scene, and ever line given by Toxie; its all hilarious. And it was written to be that way; not to be a serious movie. How much more obvious does it have to be?
