The Toxic Avenger (1984)

Continuity mistake: Just before Melvin has sex with Sarah, Sarah's red dress straps fall down off of her shoulders, yet are back up in the next shot.

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.

Continuity mistake: When Melvin is putting the cream and ice cream on one of the robber's face, the bowls and bottles, and the (ice) cream on the robbers face all keep changing position.

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."
