The Toxic Avenger

In this cult classic from 1984, directed by Lloyd Kaufman, a meek and bullied janitor at a health club undergoes a dramatic transformation after a hazardous encounter with toxic waste. This metamorphosis turns him into a hideously deformed yet superhumanly strong hero who takes on the criminal underworld of Tromaville. The film is known for its over-the-top violence, dark humor, and satirical take on superhero tropes. While it didn’t receive any major awards, it has garnered a dedicated fan base and spawned several sequels and adaptations. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
