An outlandish mix of gory violence and realistic special effects.

Though it is silly, sleazy, and graphically violent, The Toxic Avenger does hold a bit of warped charm for fans of this sort of thing.
03/28/07
It's passable entertainment for a while, but even with the short 87 minute running time it starts to feel a bit long in the tooth

Cruddy, primal, extremely violent, and fairly entertaining, it captures some of the snot-flicking spirit of the old EC comics.

Top CriticThe Toxic Avenger is an incredibly bizarre flick, combining silly jokes with outrageous gore, but it works.

It all falls apart after an hour, chunks of the preceding entertainment reappearing as random montages.

It's your basic nerd revenge fantasy, only decked out in gore and over-the-top, bad-taste gags.

Simply one of the most embarassingly entertaining movies I've ever seen!

The Toxic Avenger tells the humorous story of a geeky weakling who is turned into a superhero when he is slimed by some toxic waste.

It has crude production values, weak humor, and an inexplicable following.

[It] may be trash, but it has a maniacally farcical sense of humor, and Tromaville's evildoers are dispatched in ingenious ways.
