Elijah Woods qui lock in pour avoir la carrière la plus déjanté de tous les temps (sinon c'était débile et fun)
The Toxic Avenger
Yeah, no thanks.
The Toxic Avenger
Really surprised to say this but I like the original quite a bit more. This wasn’t really a remake as much as it was just taking the name of Toxie and doing a different thing entirely. It’s still a fun time and the cast is good but something’s lacking. Also… how in the world was this deemed “unreleasable”? The gore is NOT that bad and you can clearly tell it’s CGI most of the time. I know this sounds like a negative review but I really did enjoy it, just a bit disappointed. 6.5/10
The Toxic Avenger
The first person you see die in this movie is done in such a mean way, incredible stuff. Really great effects, the ice cream kill may have been terrifier level of uncomfortable. 7/10
The Toxic Avenger
Cult of Personality 2025 (https://letterboxd.com/allbeef/list/cult-of-personality-2025/) #38 of 52 | Directed by Lloyd Kaufman (https://letterboxd.com/director/lloyd-kaufman/) Hooptober 12 (https://boxd.it/O4q2m) #5 of 33 • 5 of 9 different decades (https://letterboxd.com/films/genre/horror/by/release/size/small/) (1980s) Better than I remember it being, but not by much. The campiness was over-the-top and fun in the beginning, but it just got annoying by the end.
The Toxic Avenger
I had a lot of fun with this. Packed with absurd kills, and lots of laughs (some great gags in the news ticker), and a lead performance by Peter Dinklage that genuinely feels like he’s really trying to bring some gravitas to the proceedings. 2025 Ranked (https://boxd.it/D1fDm)
The Toxic Avenger
The Toxic Avenger is a dirty, crazy, nonsensical, and pretty surrealistic creation from the team at Troma film; a company infamous for their obsession with shooting some of the most depraved and wonderfully outrageous movies ever seen. The team usually run with a ridiculous idea of sort in any film they put out, and The Toxic Avenger is probably their most recognizable one, but that's not to say it is a great one. The story follows Melvin, a cleaner at the Tromaville health club and the world’s worst at it, as he runs into the everyday ridicule brought upon the club’s jarring members, some better known as inhumane balls of crap. A prank-gone-wrong goes really wrong when Melvin gets bathed in toxic chemical wastes, ultimately leading to an absurd transformation into none other than the toxic avenger: a tall, green and hideous monstrosity of a figure. Like the Avenger, the dialogue is toxic trash, pooped out like a rabbit taking a shit in a forest, yet it's totally hilarious, and the delivery is perfect, but otherwise annoying as hell. An overuse of ‘fucks’ feel weightless and obnoxious, much like the array of crazy characters. There's Bozo who gets a kick out of running down pedestrians with his car, the hard gangster known as Cigarface, a guy called Slug, and of course Melvin’s mom. All four are their own parody. The Avenger’s extensive fight scenes are engrossing, and then some. By the third emerging of hand to hand combat it uncontrollably begins to wear thin. You can feel the run time stopping and starting and it really feels all over the place by the last act. But The Toxic Avenger has the greatest love story ever told in cinema. Okay, maybe not. It’s an excruciatingly amazing spoof you won't forget and laughs will get you going for sure. Where I wish The Toxic Avenger was more solid in displaying its binding parodies and an exactly thought out plot, it's beyond doubt a strange, absurd, and pretty entertaining treat. And for that it's worth checking the fuck out.
The Toxic Avenger
First of all, in Jersey, we trust. Sadly, this disappointed. It had nearly none of the charm of the original but I wonder how much of an audience there is for the Troma vibe these days. The real sin of this movie is the lack of care for “superhero” myth-making which made the title character hard to hold onto. But I did love the practical effects for Toxie!
