ROTTEN TOMATOES – The Toxic Avenger  (1985)

“What do you get when you drop a 98-pound weakling into a bubbling vat of toxic goo? Well, if you live in Tromaville, or inside Lloyd Kaufman’s happily twisted mind, the answer is a melted-faced and muscle-bound superhero who’d become known and loved as “Toxie.” Formerly a bullied geek named Melvin, Toxie wears a shredded tutu and wields a mop to clean up the violent thugs and criminal overlords who make Tromaville such a cess-pool. A bona fide cult classic, thanks to the winning mix of black humour and campy gore, this spawned three sequels, a kiddie cartoon and even a musical. Surely it’s only a matter of time before someone makes Kaufman an offer he can?t refuse, and A-listers start jostling for the remake role of Toxie.”
