    My favorite thing about this movie is that after the dog gets shot in the taco stand scene, they cut back to it laying on the ground "dead," but you can clearly see it's breathing and also the happiest-looking dog I've ever seen in my life.

Also, I’m glad you changed your mind about convering toxie on the kill count. I love it when you cover really weird 80s schlock movies.

    I saw The Toxic Avenger by accident one October night on G4. That first kill with the kid totally traumatized me. In hindsight it wasn't just because of the brutal gore, but it was really the utter callousness of the drivers intentionally committing manslaughter that really broke me.

      @@smokeymcbongwater I looked it up and Voluntary Manslaughter is quote "s any intentional killing that involves no prior intent to kill and which was committed under such circumstances that would "cause a reasonable person to become emotionally or mentally disturbed". Both this and second-degree murder are committed on the spot under a spur-of-the-moment choice, but the two differ in the magnitude of the circumstances surrounding the crime."
      The distinction in this kill is they wanted to run the kid over and kill him, But they were Drunk.

      @@Tartubeman the district attorney would likely file both murder and manslaughter charges in this case but IMO the jury would likely find them guilty of murder (and a DUI) because they had a whole game they were playing and were seeking out victim(s) -- meaning they had prior intent to kill, intentionally seeking someone who fit their criteria, and did so. Manslaughter in comparison is them riding behind the boy on his bike, getting frustrated with how slow he is going, and impulsively running over him in violent frustration. Depending on what evidence was available for the prosecution to use against them at trial, the defense counsel would probably push the bullies to plead guilty and try to negotiate the district attorney down to a manslaughter charge on the plea deal. that's my take though.

    As a first time viewer, holy shit this is one of the best movies ive ever seen.
    Its so much fun, it's raunchy, offensive, over the top, cheesy, gory, and wholesome all in one package. Its just about everything i love in a movie all together in one package.

    I always really appreciate how much James cares about other people. While I’m not a huge fan of the sorta “offensive humour” in general, it was kinda sweet seeing James point out how 1, the characters saying and doing these things are inherently evil and (mostly) get their comeuppance by the end of it all and 2, documenting the parts of the film that were both great and not so great for those taking part in it as well as advocating for more safety measures while filming. Of course we can say “it was a different time” and all of that, but what we really need to learn from this is to approach these sorts of situations with care, to ensure that we document this sort of humour in a way that doesn’t involve making other people uncomfortable.
