The movie that really put Troma on the map as a great provider of entertaining movies. It has everything you need in a movie: awesome "hero". Loads of T&A. Lots of blood. Inventive kills. Comedy. Love. And some kick-ass villains, ie, Cigarface.
Melvin Junko, a janitor at the local health club, is quite the dweeb. The jocks there decide to play a joke on him, resulting in the classic scene of a tutu-wearing Melvin kissing a sheep. The lights come on, and all the jocks are laughing at our poor Melvin, who runs away... straight out a window, into some toxic waste. This transforms our dear boy into the Toxic Avenger, who's out to clean up the crime in the city, and get revenge on the cocks who did this to him. And along the way, he even meets a blind chick who falls in love with him.
Some of this movie is a bit dated, such as the health club and some of the clothes. Nothing too major though, so all is forgiven. The execution methods, especially in the director's cut, are excellently done.
The Tox Box, or at least this first in the series, deserves a spot in any good movie collection. Nothing wrong with this flick, perfect in every way. 10/10.

nudity. Grade A stuff. 10/10 easily

One of the coolest movies of all time. It's funny,
violent, gory, everything a good Troma film should
be. God bless Lloyd Kaufman

I buy anything Kaufman makes. He is my God. I want
to sign over my bank account to him so he never
runs out of money for making his amazing movies.

A true American classic. 10/10
sidenote: I haven't seen the the 4th one yet,
but 2 and 3 sucked, especially 3. at least 2 was
funny.
