"TROMA's Toxic Avenger."
The Toxic Avenger
2 DVDS/APPROX. 87 MINS/1985/USA UNRATED
In 1984 Troma released a Horror/Comdey movie called The Toxic Avenger, this film is what put Troma on the map and start a awesome fucking
trilogy for the next coming years.

The Toxic Avenger is about a nerd called Melvin Furd he is a 98-pound weakling who's constantly gets picked on day in and day out. Then one day
the pranks go too far and he ends up falling into a barrel of toxic waste which transforms him into a "hideously deformed creature with
superhuman size and strength" then he decides to  proceed to kill all the scum and low life's of the town of Tromaville by killing them in ultimate
gory ways you couldn't imagine.

This cult classic soon became Troma's best selling DVD, VHS title and you can say the mascott of Troma and you can see why. The whole thing is
paced pretty well and successful at what it set out to be with lots of memorable moments, it has a fair share of some really cool gore/make-up
effects. I highly recommended buying this but make sure you get the The 21st Anniversary - Urated Director's Cut DVD which contains plenty of
gore cut out of previous versions. Its far most the best release of The Toxic Avenger DVD ever.

In a crazy spoof of heroic monster movies that spawned two sequels, The Toxic Avenger is about the
transformation of a mild-mannered, scrawny janitor into a thundering, muscular hero out for justice,
morality, and in one case, a bit of sex. Melvin (Mark Torgl) has a job as a custodian at a work-out club
where his humiliating treatment by the musclebound reaches an ugly climax in which Melvin is forced to
jump out of a window. He lands in a toxic waste truck, and by some miracle of modern pollution he is
transformed into a pumped-up monster, heretofore known as the Toxic Avenger (Mitchell Cohen). From
that moment on, TA saves damsels and others in distress by some pretty gory mauling and maiming but
finds his moment of fulfillment too.
