What It Is: The flagship title from Troma about a geeky kid that becomes a monstrous hero.Why I Watched It: I had never seen it.
What I Thought: It was awful but in a very intentionally enjoyable way. There's definitely a reason The Toxic Avenger earned its cult status.
The movie was originally intended as a horror film about an abused nerd that becomes a monstrous killing machine, but the hero vibe makes it much more of a campy and excessively violent action movie.
Highlights: Hilariously awful dialogue, gratuitous violence, and lots of topless women. What's not to love?!
Who Should See It: Appreciators of campy classics and superhero fans.
How Soon: It would make for a good rental with all your friends.
