The Toxic Avenger 1984

"For your information, everyone knows monsters prefer blondes."

The pinnacle of fun entertaining self-aware B-movie madness alongside Riki-Oh, Evil Dead II, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, The VelociPastor... This one's overactive and energetic, the comedy is mostly ridiculously silly but at other times so dark and cruel it's a little traumatizing (first kill). I do wish more of the jokes landed but a good 80% of them do. Lots of funny one-liners but you can always use more in these movies. The voice of the Avenger gets me every time. The practical effects and makeup are worth a mention. The initial transformation scene, the "cooking with the Toxic Avenger" segment and the ninja guy are my favorite moments. Such a fun watch!
