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.
10/14/03
Cruddy, primal, extremely violent, and fairly entertaining, it captures some of the snot-flicking spirit of the old EC comics.

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

A film that you need to see.
02/13/01
Simply one of the most embarassingly entertaining movies I've ever seen!
09/10/02
It's your basic nerd revenge fantasy, only decked out in gore and over-the-top, bad-taste gags.
07/20/05
[It] may be trash, but it has a maniacally farcical sense of humor, and Tromaville's evildoers are dispatched in ingenious ways.
08/30/04
Top CriticIt has crude production values, weak humor, and an inexplicable following.
01/01/00
The Toxic Avenger is an incredibly bizarre flick, combining silly jokes with outrageous gore, but it works.
08/01/03
It all falls apart after an hour, chunks of the preceding entertainment reappearing as random montages.
02/09/06
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
An outlandish mix of gory violence and realistic special effects.
