The Toxic Avenger

Synopsis: This is the story of Melvin, the Tromaville Health Club mop boy, who inadvertently and naively trusts the hedonistic, contemptuous and vain health club members, to the point of accidentally ending up in a vat of toxic waste. The devastating results then have a transmogrification effect, his alter ego is released, and the Toxic Avenger is born, to deadly and comical results. The local mop boy is now the local Superhero, the saviour of corruption, thuggish bullies and indifference. Troma classic with good make-up effects and stunts, a pleasant surprise indeed.

New York, world capital

of culture and industry.

Here, amid the skyscrapers,

civilization is driven by

progress and technology.

But these industrial progress,

there is a price to pay.

Pollution. The inevitable

setbacks of the current society.

Every year, millions of

tons of toxic waste

and radioactive wastes

are discharged into city

Tromaville as the capital

of toxic waste.

In the sport club

Tromaville, a young man

Melvin named Furda works.

The whole life of Melvin, and even

its very nature was

changed by toxic waste.

Look at this stupid guy!

A janitor f***ing moron

cannot even mop right!

Too stupid!

With his sh*t eating smile.

Why is he so happy?

I hate this mop boy.

I think that creep is coming over here.

Julie, you smell something?

Ugh! What's that stench?

It's weird, I don't smell anything.

Melvin, clean the toliet, they stink.

OK. I'm coming.

Look what you did!

You f***ing a**hole!

You f***ing a**hole!

- Are you retarded?

- Attard!

Sorry.

Sorry.

You want me to get a disease!

You want her to be sick?

I didn't mean it.

I didn't mean it!

If you give me sh*t, I'll shove

that broom down your throat.

It stresses me!

Bozo...

I can not stand it!

He's messing with my karma!

Look what you did, moron!

You've stressed Bozo!

Excuse me, Julie.

I didn't mean to do it.

What right have you speak, moron?

Go on, Bozo.

Continues.

But remember,

there is only one muscle

you have to worry about.

Say, you should

work your guts a little,

it is becoming a little flaccid!

What are you talking about?

There's no fat!

Fat! Fat!

Slug, are you sure nobody will come?

I slipped $15 to Tony.

He said we had the place

until tomorrow morning.

Relax. Want something to drink?

- OK.

- Alright.

Can I come again next time

you and Bozo go driving.

If you want to, bad enough.

I love it when we go real fast.

And they never know what hit them.

They never believe we're

going to run them down.

We keep getting closer and closer.

Faster and faster.

They're just standing there and yeah.

We hit them!

I love the sound of breaking bones!

The car driving over them

and dragging their bodies.

All that beautiful blood!

Slug!

I want you, now.

Oh, Slug!

Oh, Slug!

More! More!

Get out of here, you pervert!

Or I'll kill ya!

The rules, what are they?

Let me see if I can

remember the whole list.

Now, jews, whops, n*ggers and chinks,

they're all worth twenty-five points.

But Porto Ricans they're

worth thirty points.

Now kids under twelve

they're double points.

Don't forget your helmet.

OK, sis.

Be careful out there.

Julie, does it count if

I just graze them?

You got to destroy them!

Bozo, I want them dead

Yeah, we'll going to get them.

Come on. Come on,

where the f*** is everybody?

How much is a kid on a bicycle?

Where?

Twenty-eight points if you

get both the kid and the bike?

Let's take a closer look.

Oh, he a cute little boy, isn't he?

Out pretty late, aren't you, honey?

The coast is clear, Bozo.

You got him!

We're going to get him!

You get full points!

No way! The kid's still moving!

We're not finished yet!

He's still moving, no way

you get full points.

No way, huh?

I'll show you no way.

Give me that!

Full points, my man!

Look at him!

These are the best shots

we've ever taken.

This is fun!

These are great!

Show me the pretty pictures!

That was good!

I want to do it again!

Yeah, go for it again!

I've got to go home.

What?

I got to get up early in the morning.

Got to go to church.

Oh!

Arms up! Now stop.

That's really pitiful.

Look how many times do

I have to tell you people?

Do exactly what I do.

If I kick my left foot, you do it.

Whatever I do, you do.

How about we start again?

Let's go, music, 1, 2. Hey, hey...

Watch how I hit this ball.

Are you watching?

Are you watching, I'm going to kill it!

Aah!

Bozo, it's okay.

Hey, guys, come here.

Have I got a plan to fix

that mop boys wagon.

Great!

Hi, Melvin.

Whoa!

Melvin, it's okay.

I just came to apologize.

I didn't mean to be so nasty.

That's okay, Julie. I didn't really mind.

In fact, I was hoping

you could help me,

with a little problem.

I've been having.

Who, me?

I can't talk about here

with all these people around.

Hery, I got a great idea.

Why don't you meet me

in the girls locker room?

Girls' locker room?

Yes.

Then we can discuss it alone.

Oh, oh!

Okay.

Let's say 7 o'clock.

That's good for me, too.

I have to clean the toliets

there around that time anyway.

Good. It's a date. See you then.

Okay.

490... 491... 492...

493... 494... 495...

Hi, guys. Well, Melvin fell

for it. Hook line and sinker.

We've been driving for

two whole hours.

Pull over and take a break.

You know we're not

supposed to stop with

this radioactive chemical

waste on the back.

It's dangerous.

Remember that dope

we're snorting last week?

Well, check this out.

Holy sh*t! Why didn't you say so.

Let's pull over!

Julie.

- Hi, Melvin.

- Hi, Julie.

Come in, don't be shy.

What did you want help with?

- It's about Bozo.

- Bozo?

Yeah, you see, I'm so sick

of the way he goes around

pushing people around all the time.

He's so immature.

I don't like to go out

with him abtmore.

But I don't know quite

how to tell him.

In fact, Melvin, I think

you're handsome,

and sensitive and kind.

Oh, Melvin, I find you irresistable.

- Me?

- Yes.

Melvin, I want to do it with you.

What?

Do it!

Do what?

Do it, Melvin, do it!

Do it? Okay.

Wait a minute.

I got a great idea, Melvin.

We'll go down by the pool.

Afferwards we can taker a cool dip.

Alright.

There's one other little thing, Melvin.

You're not wearing pink.

- Pink?

- It's my favorite color.

I have my pink on.

So, I brought this for you.

- But this is sissy stuff.

- Melvin, pink makes me so hot.

- It does.

- Yes.

If you put on your pink,

I'll take off my pink.

- I love pink!

- Hurry up, I'll be waiting.

And bring your mop.

- Julie?

- Here I am, Melvin.

It's so dark in here,

where are you? I can't see you

Right here, Melvin. Come here.

My lips are waiting for you, Melvin.

Whoa, put your arms around me.

Oh, Julie!

Quick turn on the light!

You're so soft, Julie.

Baaa.

Ooh!

Ooh, he doesn't

look very good to me.

Aaahh!

He's faking it, Julie!

I think he's in trouble.

Julie, if he can't take a joke, stinks.

Get back! Get back!

Get out of here!

Aaaaahhh!

Melvin on fire!

Melvin, dear, are you alright?

Is anything the matter?

Oh, my feet!

Aaahhh!

Are you okay?

Melvin, dear, are you alright?

Grrrr!

My little Melvin! He must

have finally reached puberty.

Grrrr!

One. Two.

Three. Four.

When we lay this wad on, old Clancy.

The boss is going to

have him by the balls.

I don't think old Clancy

will take the money.

Everyone says he's an honest cop.

If he don't take the dough,

I'm gonna give him a blow.

Ha ha!

A pair of knuckles.

If it ain't, Cigar Face. What are

you and your friends up to?

We brought you a little
