9. 7/10. One of the better movies of the 80's and one of the best B movies ever made. Truthfully, I found it better than a lot of the so called A material. Lloyd Kaufman matches Mel Brooks in movie style, directing, and flat out genius. The Toxic Avenger design I liked, original. If anything, he could easily fit into the Marvel or DC comics universes. Heck I could envision him getting another movie today, though they'd probably mess it up. This is one that can be watched multiple time and never get tedious. Watch for yourself.

Frank: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, we are the entertainment for this afternoon. Now on the shotgun we've got my man Leroy. And on the cash register, we've got that magic fingers Rico.
Rico: That's me.
Frank: And last but not least, yours truely, Frank, on the stick.
Trivia: In this film the title character is never referred to as "The Toxic Avenger"; he is only referred to as "Monster Hero." In his first book, "All I Needed To Know About Filmmaking I Learned From The Toxic Avenger," the director Lloyd Kaufman revealed that the reason for this was because the working title of the movie was "The Monster Hero," and that the change to the title "The Toxic Avenger" only occurred at the "last minute." The character was consistently referred to as Toxic Avenger, or Toxie, throughout this movie's three sequels: "The Toxic Avenger II," "The Toxic Avenger III: The Last Temptation of Toxie," and "The Toxic Avenger IV: Citizen Toxie."
