![The Toxic Avenger [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jR+vhNv-L.jpg)
Welcome to Tromaville, New Jersey -- a small American town, terrorized by criminals. The town's corrupt mayor sits idly by while muggers, robbers and teenage punks victimize helpless citizens. Among the residents of Tromaville is Melvin, a nerdy, emaciated janitor at the local health club. That is, until he becomes The Toxic Avenger! A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong as Melvin is cast through a third story window and into a vat of hazardous toxic waste. However, an unexpected metamorphosis takes place. As the chemicals take hold of his body, Melvin turns into the Toxic Avenger, doer of good and brutal mauler of evil! The rest, as they say, is history. The excitement is non-stop as the hero sets out to single-handedly wipe out the forces of evil that torment the people of Tromaville. THE TOXIC AVENGER is non-stop entertainment that will leave the viewers glowing from the fun.Extras:· All Region Codes· Audio Commentary with co-director Lloyd Kaufman· 15th Anniversary Introduction by Lloyd Kaufman· 30th Anniversary Introduction by Lloyd Kaufman· The Radiation March· Intro from Toxic Crusaders cartoon· Toxie - 15 Years Later· Tromaville Café - The Death of Toxie· Troma Studio Building Tour · Mopboy Secrets with commentary by Mark Torgl· Why is Lloyd Kaufman living in a refrigerator box?· Public Service Announcement· Aroma Du Troma· Toxic Slide Show· Theatrical Trailer · Bonus trailers: Bloodsucking Freaks, The Toxic Avenger 2, The Toxic Avenger 3, Citizen Toxie· Reversible Sleeve

88Films Toxic Avenger Blu Ray Review - Toxie Gets Some Region 2 Love At Last
My Toxic Avenger Blu Ray arrived today, and Im just finished watching it. I can confirm it is still the absolute perfect Friday night film!It is uncut (first time it has been in the UK since VHS) and is is widescreen.The transfer is miraculous, honestly I can't believe how much of an upgrade this is from the Region1 DVD.Theres next to no grain, day time scenes are at times razor sharp, and the colours are vivid. God damn I love Blu Ray (when done right)There are no other languages other than English, and there are no subtitles.Also included is the 92 minute Japanese cut (full-frame, awful picture quality) and an audio commentary by Lloyd Kaufman which I have yet to listen to, but its almost certain to be fun.The bonus features appear plentiful, but theres nothing informative. Just a few short features (such as Toxie at home, Lloyd living on the streets, a tour of Troma HQ)What I did really like though was 'Mopboy Secrets with commentary by Mark Torgl' a few minute compilation of Melvyns scenes with Mark giving some quite good insight.The Blu Ray comes in a really unique green Amaray case, and has reversible cover art, its nice, but I'll be sticking with the classic poster I think.I have noticed though, since pre-orders where put up on amazon, the inclusion of the DVD in this set has been dropped. Kind of a pity as I do miss those Double Play sets.Overall -Toxic Avenger fan? Please feel safe in buying this, it is AMAZING to see classics like this get treated so well and its a huge improvement on every previous release I have ever owned.Not a Toxic Avenger fan? You just haven't experienced it yet!

UNCUT VERSION
Don't buy the censored version-waste of money.This 'region 1' release is actually region free and playable WORLDWIDE!So if you're living in space or summat-don't bother.If you've never seen this movie before you're in for a treat!When 'Skippy' waves goodbye to his sis' you'll shed a tear for sure!This movie also features THE HOTTEST blind chick EVER!She dances for about 3 seconds in one scene and I could watch her doing this,on a loop,for an hour and not get bored!Get this..she's not even blind in real life(well she might be now-I don't know)her mannerisms are fantastic.Lloyd Kaufman does give her a good run for her money in Terror Firmer though!Anyway..heads get crushed,dogs get shot,breasts are exposed and you'll even get to see a man who was also in Minority Report threaten a baby with a shotgun!It's really cheap at the moment-so dont miss out and get Toxic Avenger [DVD] [1985] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] TODAY!

Great film but make sure you get the US version
This film is a classic with some really great comedy and gory scenes in it. Only be sure to get the US Director's cut release because that is uncut while the UK release is edited for violence. The US Director's cut is also region free which means that it will play on your DVD player or games console with no problems. On top of that it also includes lots of cool extras from Troma so if you're a fan of Troma then this will be an essential purchase.All in all a really awesome movie that is certainly not for kids unlike the old TV series.

INTRO TO TROMA
a couple of years ago i was getting pleasantly high in bed watching hellraiser 3 on the horror channel (now zone horror). After having one too many tokes on the old dubee my body decided to comatoze itself and drift off to ganja land. After a couple of hours of kip i was woken up by my telly only to find my fuure favoroute film THE TOXIC AVENGER. I instantly fell in love with this masterpiece and thus began my obsession with all things Troma.

80s Shlock Fun and Parody
I'd rather not waste your time and would rather tell you to just see it. If like 80s camp fun, horror visual effects and comedy, you'll love this.

Ridiculous, low-budget, gory fun
Camper than Flash Gordon, gorier than A Nightmare On Elm Street, and makes up for its many shortcomings with humour and energy.Not one for those with delicate sensibilities, but it put a smile on my face.

A likeable pulp
Not Troma's best by any measures but it's nice to see studio's roots and get some laughs in the process.
