" Date: 12/30/2021 Viewed: Blu-ray Re-Watch Note: I decided to end the night by watching an 80s classic that I hadn't seen in a long time. The Toxic Avenger is still as amazing as I remember it being. The Toxic Avenger, like Robocop, Predator, The Terminator, Jason Voorhees, and other 80s movie pop culture icons, is a staple of the era. I like how the film satirizes and parodies the 1980s zeitgeist. The film mocks both the revenge film genre and American culture in the 1980s. The film does a g"

My Childhood Favorite Movies (20 movies items)

"This was the first movie I saw unedited and beyond a PG rating. It was also the first movie I saw on VHS. There is NOTHING like a Troma movie and this is the one that made them a big name in the indie scene and with good reason. This was punk rock in film form, this was irreverent yet hilarious, and it was everything a young kid shouldn't of been watching. So bad it's good and still as crazy as it ever was. "

"12.2 (uusintakatselu) Vihdoin ja viimein sain käsiini harvinaisen Night Vision -julkaisun, jossa kaikki Toxiet remasteroituina, eli maratoonia kehiin. Pitihän se totta kai vanhasta kunnon ykkösestä alottaa, vaikka olenkin tämän jo kahdesti nähnyt. Esikoisen lyhyys helpotti kolmatta kierrosta, vaikka leffaharrastus onkin taas vaihteeksi ollut tauolla. NV-julkaisun kuvanlaadusta sai sentään jotain selvääkin, vaikka huomasin surukseni, että joitain yksittäisiä throwaway-kohtauksia ol"

"8.9. Union (35 mm) Toxic Avenger ja Troma-filmit on likasaavi, johon en ole tainnut aikaisemmin sukeltaa. Ensimmäinen osa soljui eteenpäin mukavasti kasarijuuston ja slapstickin voimin välttäen pahemman tyhjäkäynnin. Kömpelö, mutta sympaattinen tuotos, jollaisia pitäisi ehdottomasti katsoa useammin."

"I've been meaning to watch this for years and finally just came across it on Youtube. This was entertaining and funny. Tried to watch the second one right after this but that was just so different and unfunny that I decided to stop."
