Added 2025-08-18 19:00:08 +0000 UTCMrs. Movies realizes Melvin is the hero we don't deserve but greatly need in The Toxic Avenger (1984). Here's her reaction to her first time watching.

I know it won't go over well with Mrs. Movies but deep down, very secretly, my fingers are about to break for how hard I am crossing them that Class of Nuke 'em High makes the schedule one day. Of course, that only proves how wrong I know the film is for 99% of... well, *most* people. (As with most Troma movies, I'm shocked it was ever made.)

2025-08-21 02:51:20 +0000 UTCI'm a pretty sizable Troma fan myself and this movie wasn't for me, either. I thought they improved on the formula they were aiming for with Toxic Avenger enormously with Class of Nuke 'em High and especially - as Raining Madness suggests below - Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD. Which is a real winner of a sci-fi / fantasy / horror crime fighter mini-epic. I hope it's considered as a potential reaction before the Toxic Avenger remake hits streaming. Other Troma movies I thought were better than Toxic Avenger: Def by Temptation, Cannibal! The Musical, Rabid Grannies, Killer Condom, "Dead Dudes In the House" (goes by several alternate titles), Blades, Blood Hook, Chillers, Bugged!, The Boy from Hell (aka: "Bloodspell"), Nightmare Weekend, Vegas in Space, Evil Clutch, The Stendhal Syndrome... I know there are more.

2025-08-21 02:44:14 +0000 UTCI hope this leads to more Troma films like Class of Nuke 'Em High, PoultryGeist, and my personal favorite SGT Kabukiman NYPD. Her reaction to this does make me rather worried for Terrifier 3, but we shall see how that goes at the end of the year.
