Excellent film in which a gym cleaner is bullied and ends up in a vat of chemicals. Absolutely completely ridiculous, but clearly made with a lot of fun, laughter and originality. In addition to the dirty make-up effects, there is also more than enough to laugh about. The exaggerated acting also fits seamlessly. Bad taste at its best and entertaining from start to finish.

It couldn't get any worse: a geek serving as a cleaner at the local health club is bullied by the local bullies and ends up in a vat of toxic waste, leaving him horribly disfigured and turning into an unstoppable killing machine bent on killing. revenge. It is clear that the film does not want to be taken seriously; for that, the comic quality is so great that you can't miss it. The Toxic Avenger also has a soft spot for a blind teenie he saved from a rape, and sometimes rages wildly with his enemies with dire consequences.
The bodybuilders aren't saints either: they take pleasure in knocking over kids and knocking out old ladies to steal the car. . Oh well, a really bad movie actually, filmed by a bunch of amateurs, but it gets so funny that it's hard to resist. Disgustingly hilarious.
