The Toxic Avenger
1984 · Movie · 79 min. · United States
The town of Tromaville, New York is the toxic waste dump capital of the world. Geekish Melvin Furd is the janitor at the trendy Tromaville Health Club. The very sight of Melvin enrages the psychotic Bozo. Bozo and his girlfriend play a cruel prank on Melvin where she says she is turned on by him and gets him to come to her dressed in a pink tutu, whereupon everybody is waiting to taunt him. Humiliated, Melvin jumps out a window, only to land in a vat of toxic waste. He emerges mutated into a huge, brawny and hideous green-skinned mutant. As the Toxic Avenger, he now exacts revenge on his tormentors with violent, gory regard and stands up to crime in the town.
