The Toxic Avenger

Melvin Ferd is a shy, awkward janitor at the Tromaville Health Club who becomes the target of a cruel prank that sends him crashing into a vat of toxic waste. Horribly transformed but gifted with superhuman strength, Melvin emerges as the Toxic Avenger—a grotesque new hero determined to clean up Tromaville’s violent streets. Directed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman, this outrageous blend of splatter horror, black comedy, and superhero satire became Troma Entertainment’s signature cult classic.
