Obviously, Troma's first law of their unique brand of cinema is "insert tongue into cheek. Hold for remainder of movie." Not a single film cel is meant to be taken seriously in the least. Certainly, The Toxic Avenger pushes the boundaries of taste. If you're not offended by something in this flick, I have some bad news for you -- you're dead.

So far, there have been 3 sequels to this movie, in addition to a bevy of similarly Tromatic films like The Class of Nuke 'Em High and Sgt. Kubukiman, NYPD. If any of them are as gross, tasteless, and thoroughly enjoyable as The Toxic Avenger, expect to see a ton of Troma reviews to be coming down the pike.
