Continuity mistake: When Melvin falls into the toxic waste, he is wearing tights and a tutu, but when his stunt double runs up the street in flames, he's obviously wearing trousers and a shirt.

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.

Trivia: A young Vincent D'Onofrio was cast to play the part of Bozo in the first Toxic Avenger film; however, before filming began, D'Onofrio brashly asked for a pay raise and was immediately fired. D'Onofrio was replaced by actor Gary Schneider.
