I think that The Toxic Avenger would also make a good guest star in the next Mortal Kombat game.
TheStriderSyd wow you’re right. How did they not do that already!?
Oh my god! You just blew my mind! Hurry we need a petition!
TheStriderSyd
make it happen
Toxie in MK X1 or we riot lol
Might turn out better than the toxic crusaders video games already out there
Oddly enough, I met Lloyd Kaufman on a plane ride from Belgium to the US. I recognized him walking back to the bathroom so naturally I followed him. I actually brought up the nerve to talk to him and he was extremely cool! He even gave me one of his business cards!
chernabogjunior ha I met him in the bathroom at last years Philly tattoo convention , such a cool guy
Why do you always find him in bathrooms?
Grongy toilet humor.
That's fucking awesome
Hopefully, he gave you his business card in middle of a shit.
"He is faking it!"
*proceeds to dissolve*
Not to mention that he also helped Matt and Trey from South Park. Through Troma they made Cannibal: The Musical which is essential viewing for anyone who likes their sense of humor.
"I never cornholed me a blind chick before!"
The bad guys in this movie are so over the top it makes me laugh every time.
What’s with the 80’s and turning R rated movies into kids stuff
Is that a problem?
@@Broyale26 OF COURSE MISTER
@@Broyale26 It's just weird.
@@shaitet But that is what make it awesome
I know right? It was so awesome. That's ok, look up the cartoon Inhumanoids. That show had its disturbing moments.
Toxie will always have a special place in my heart for showing that grindhouse exploitation cinema can be far more role-defining and inspirational than so many pretentious "Oscar-worthy" prestige films.
This movie was absolutely amazing. When I watched it, it reminded me of Evil Dead. Alot of gore, cheesy in a good way and also kinda funny. Love the creative deaths in this movie too.
Same, that's how I describe it, it's like if you mixed evil dead 2 with spider man.
The Toxic Avenger is a great and timeless. Like Keaton as Beetlejuice, just go with it.
I love that there is a part were he literally rips a guys arm off and beats him with it.
I remember renting this movie , back in 1986 uncut version, for myself and then my grandparents and parents decided to watch this movie. I warned them in advance but they did not seem to have any problem watching the movie they in fact enjoyed it and watched the entire movie. I miss the 80s for this reason. Go Toxie.
The BEST WORST movie of all time!
Nah. I think "Silent Night,Deadly Night 2" gets that award....... "GARBAGE DAY!" 😁
its not amongst the worst at all, its a comedy, the timing is perfect, acting is really sharp and constantly ove the top. its a really well directed well written comedy and it made troma a very renown rich company.
Some years back for Earth Day weekend, the El Rey network played all the Toxic Avengers movies back-to-back-to-back...etc. In the early hours of the morning they even played the cartoon series for an hour or two. That was one hell of a nostalgic flashback to my childhood.
2:54 and he even pop'd the seeds. that's a gentleman
gyunexx
true
"Would you take a look at that fucking guy?! The mop boy! Can't even mop right!" "AAAAHHH!! I'M STREEESED!!" "I've got problems, I'm a stressed person!" Bozo's lines were my favorite.😆
"Word to your mummy".
"George McFly and Steve Urkle combined".
LOL
"Hey look Frank. Teeny-Boppers! You like video games, Teeny-Boppers? Your mommy give you quarters for video games? WELL, COUGH 'EM UP!!!"
"Look what we've got here. A little mother and a littler baby. You like Mexican food little baby? Well how would you like to have this hot tamale shoved down your throat?"
"Everybody drop your tacos or I'll blow your brains out!"
"I think that bitch is blind!"
@@grongy6122 "Always wanted to cornhole me a blind bitch"
Holy shit I saw this when I was about 9 years old, my dad had DVR'd it (I'm 19 now), and I read the description about it and went "That sounds cool" then proceeded to watch as it queued to the scene right before the biker gets killed. I swear to god when I saw that kid's head explode like a goddamn watermelon after getting ran over I turned that shit off and ran out of the room. Great review James.
I remember watching Toxic Crusaders as a kid, then seeing Toxic Avenger 1, and 2 when I was like 15. Didn't realise it was the same character till I was in my 20's :)
"You know I always did wanna cornhole me a blind bitch" favorite movie quote of all time
She did have a VERY nice bottom. Just sayin'.
The restaurant scene deserves an award
"Everybody drop your tacos or I'll blow your brains out!"
"I was only kidding man"
“would you like this hot tamale shoved in your face!”
There was also a Toxic Avenger musical.
Lloyd Kaufman was cool enough to do an AVGN episode...that alone made me wanna check out Troma films 😎
That scene with the car and the kid scard me for a few year BTW I was only 10 years old when I seen this movie
+creep reep Johnson
I bet you looked both ways before crossing the street, though!
+creep reep Johnson Dude, that scene scared the shit out of me when I was 10 years old, too. Did we just become friends?
Woah, I just barely mentioned in another comment basically the same thing you said except I was 7. It was pretty scarring after watching it. Even the music that was playing in the scene was engraved in my memory, but honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. These type of movies are just too awesome!
Yeah, Car always beats helmet.
Same... I was about 10; maybe a little younger like 8. Not sure I remember it scarring me. I kinda understood movie gore back then. I mean, I watched Alex Murphy's hand get blown off for crying out loud. lol
Absolutely love this movie!!
I hate you now
Prince Lorian come hate our live stream tonight - 8:30pm eastern time.
You're Gonna Hate Me Now I hate you
One of the best Troma movies
An entire Toxic Avenger recap of 1-4 would be epic
I shown all of Toxie's films to my friend and he loved the crap out of it.
Damn this brings back memories. Only in the 80's.
Splatter Farm and Gore-met Zombie Chef From Hell would fit in well here; low budget 80's horror movies with abysmal plots and effects who really push the boundaries. I'm loving these reviews, can't it be October for a few more months?
Stumbled on this movie airing on TV when I was 7 years old, right at the point when they hit (and subsequently backed over) the kid on the bike. Ingrained in my mind forever.
Odd thing - I saw this as a kid, I believe when I was about 10, which would have been about 3 years after it came out. I'm sure I must have seen it on cable and I'm absolutely positive they showed the head-squishing scene because that's really the only part I remember! So at some point this must have been okay to show on cable and then the censors got to it later. By the way, I wasn't traumatized at all - I was already desensitized to the silly gore by the uncensored Bugs Bunny cartoons I grew up on, before they started editing out all the gunshots, punches, etc.
Great review James. You have rad taste in movies dude. From Halloween to Basket Case to Cemetery Man, Monster Madness has always covered great stuff. Thanks for always keeping the Halloween spirit alive bud.
It's still one fucked up film. Absolute classic.
Ha ha ha yes! I remember somehow watching this movie when I was like 8. I swear I had nightmares of him running down the street after he falls into that toxic waste. That music is forever stuck in my head.
Just picked up that 'Make Your Own Damn Movie' book for £4 pre-owned, I'm pretty stoked to read it.
EDIT: Thanks for recommending it! I almost forgot my manners.....on the internet
As a kid I had to action figure it came with a mop and some other shit
Lol same here. I remember it being bought for me from Toys R Us back in the day. Good times...
+Morty 215 ,30 Z9TPK RZ3
It also came with an orange shield that was a modified manhole cover. Lol
Such a classic! Always loved this film
*"Only twelve years old, and only twelve dollars!"*
"He's Not David Bowie!"
From Troma.... Of Course! ;)
Eh See love Troma!!!
In Los Angeles back in the early 90's, they played this constantly on KTLA. And I would always catch the cartoon show as well. The animated show was colorful as hell.
*I think there was sequels too. The toxic avenger returns or something like that.*
There is the toxic avenger part 1 and 2 then citizen toxie.
@1337Sauce yeah, part 1. Then fights the devil in part 2.
I saw this on cable fairly recently too.... definitely got me into that series of movies!
Who's Ready for Halloween?
You just want likes
Like if u agree
I was going to say "have you seen street trash?" You mentioned it - one of my all time favorites
A good example of a movie thats so bad that its good, love these films.
I've waited years for you to review The Toxic Avenger !! LOVED this movie as a kid!
Idk if it fits in with Halloween but another Troma film you should review is Tromeo and Juliet. Aside from Toxic Avenger it's the only other Troma film I've seen
@@UglyTruth_UglyTruth yeah it was hilarious lmao
Co-written by James Gunn!
You spoil us so much in October James!! Omg
Such a great film, with a hell of a soundtrack.
I saw this movie at the age of 8 years old. It’s odd trying to tell kids my age about the film considering we were all born in 1999. It’s quite a ride explaining it and the other 3 films.
Without Toxie, there would have been no Guardians of the Galaxy.
I miss actual footage from the movies in your reviews. They were perfectly edited to match your narration. Without them this videos feel a bit flat even if your comments are still spot on and fun to listen to.
One of my 2 favorite movies of all time. The other is 8 1/2, feels like a real strange combo
Its a good combo though!
Always been a big fan of this movie, even to this day.
With that intro, James was doing a throwback to the 80s, before it became cool.
My dad works at a copier/printer company and Mitch Coen who played toxy was his supervisor for many years
I like watching these cause it gets me in the mood for Halloween and gives me some movies to give a try
Remake is inbound the only good news is it's coming out of troma again
This is the movie I show to people when I want to entertain and shock, It is just superb! with some of the baddest bad guys ever!
Today’s my 17th birthday and if i could a get a happy birthday from the one and only James Rolfe that’d be fucking awesome!
That’s like if the good guy dolls from Chucky had there own cartoon spinoff of Care Bears or the Cabbage Patch Kids.
I can’t believe they’re making a remake of The Toxic Avenger.
Made in Jersey City, Nj. 🗽
It was actually filmed in Boonton NJ
I would love for James to review Street Trash. It's amazing.
When I was 7. I had a Toxic Crusader sweat suit. Toxie and the logo glowed in the dark. I miss that gear.
Oh wow, I didn't realize they made poultrygeist! I loved that movie lol
Seeing this and the 3 sequels given the 4K treatment is awesome
Showing unedited on Amazon Prime right now (June 2020). Not sure I should be giving this film any publicity but there you have it.
LOVE THIS MOVIE !! IS MY FAVORITE HORROR / COMEDIC FILM FROM THE 80'S
Bit of a suggestion if you haven't thought of it already, if you're looking for horror movies that you haven't tackled in this monster madness or the next one. I suggest you look into the movie Frailty. It's right up your alley, as it's not only a good horror movie but you not believe it was done on low budget.
I remember watching Toxic Avenger (and similar movies) on Up All Night. I'd really like to rewatch them someday.
Ordinary epoxies are a mixing mess. With Mighty Putty, you just cut like dough, simply
knead to activate, apply and let dry.
There's a new beatem up coming out soon for toxic crusader
@Cinemassacre should do a Monster Madness review of Billy the Kid Versus Dracula and Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter. Both horror westerns.
Ah Kaufman an troma the most ballsy of the cinema trade warms my cold heart
Classic movie I liked it, try to review Ricky Oh, its funny xd
He did that 10 years ago
I still hear the Toxic Crusader theme song and think about playing with the toys as a kid.
80's-A-Thon? Hell YHEA!!
Love this movie, I shamelessly watched the movies as a kid xD I had all the sequels which were more goofy. Well part 2 and 3 anyway. I ended up getting a shit ton of r-rated movies when I was like 11-12, my uncle was a movie buff and recorded movies all the time. Ended up with around 400-500 tapes, he slowly bought movies instead so when we got his recorded VHS tapes my parents had no idea lol.
I was born in 84. Lot of interesting things happened that year.
Wasn't The Toxic Avenger the inspiration for Muckman from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? They seem pretty similar and in the 2012 show his debut episode's name is a reference to this movie.
Forget justice league and avengers it’s all about the toxic avenger
I remember watching this on G4 in 2006 with my cousins at my grandmas house
I remember watching some of the sequels on tv, UPN back in ‘88-‘89.
I once met Toxie at a convenient store up in Illinois. True story!
Popcorn seeds??? WTF
I had the toys. I love how so many kids things in the 80s and 90s were based on r rated movies in the
Hey James, I would love to know your thoughts on the new Nic Cage movie, Mandy. I hope you have the chance to see it and review it soon!!
James can you do the evil dead franchise
why has this comment got 37 likes?
James has already done the Evil Dead movies... are you people new to cinemassacre?
@@Chaingun probably, i would wager a guess that they dont know about the website having the old stuff on it.
Phoenixfire57 _82 there's even a clip from evil dead in the intro. OBVIOUSLY he's done it already.
I would like to see a Monster Madness episode on Hotel Transylvania.
this movie has also inspired a french hardcore band called tromatized youth
Toxie 2 and 3 featuring the great Phoebe Legere.
The car/bike scene always made me feel uneasy. Classic movie, but you won't feel good about yourself when you watch it.
What about Sargent Kabukiman
Saw this (unedited) when I was a little kid in the 80's!!! Haha
The 80s B movies are the best horror films I love Toxic 2
I honestly wish we had more directors like Lloyd. He is without a doubt one of the coolest guys around. It's like if John carpenter was a B-movie director.
In fact, I need more movies like these. Over the top 80's movies in the current age. Kung Fury was something that got it right.
Never knew anything about this show and saw the cartoon once and was disappointed, but I got an action figure at a second-hand store of Toxi and it was my favourite action figure.
There's a young Marisa Tomei in the director's cut version of this.
