Review of The Toxic Avenger (1984) by Manuel T — 13 May 2008

Melvin the maintenance guy who works at Tromaville's Health Club and who happens to be a scaredy cat, a slim weakling and a nerd gets picked on, pushed around and scorned by beautiful women and by other health club members. When he is conned by a beautiful woman thinking he would get a kiss from her. She tells him to close his eyes and that he would get a real good surprise. While his eyes are closed the beautiful woman signals one of her female friends to give her the piglet that's under her arms. When she picks up the piglet she tells her female friend quietly to turn off the lights. While it is dark she tells Melvin in a seductive way to pucker up. When he does this the lights come on and.

Everyone in the Health Club stands around and watches. The beautiful woman tells Melvin to open his eyes and when he does he freaks out that he kissed a piglet on the snout. Everyone who is there is laughing and pointing at him. Melvin in his state of shock starts running around screaming and tramatized running up flights of stairs and finally running down a long hallway. Without thinking he jumps out the window into a toxic waste barrel. (Rent or buy the movie to see what happens next. Great to watch if your a fan of superheros or if your into low budget sci-fi/horror/ splattergore b-grade movies.).
