Don't read the negative reviews given by other people. I have seen this film many times. The plot is well suited to the title of the film, as it is all about revenge. There is similarity here with films like Dead Heat and Vindicator.
The Plot is this: a reporter sets out to uncover the unsafe conditions at the nearby nuclear power plant. He talks to the director of the power plant and tells him of his findings. The director tells him that there is no problem and leads him personally on an inspection tour of the plant.
Deliberately while the reporter is off-guard, the director pushes him into a pool of radioactive toxic waste. The director is very happy at his smart disposal of the annoying reporter.
However the reporter is still very much alive, and thirsting for revenge against the director. What happens next has to be seen to be believed.....
Excellent make-up effects and good gore and action to quench horror fans. Ghoulish humor galore in this film as it is a horror-comedy genre film but it turns into a serious affair towards the end and our sympathies turn towards the poor reporter.
I highly recommend this film for those of you who have not watched it.

What a rare find this is! A newspaper reporter goes to a nuclear power plant only to get dumped into a pool of contaminated radioactive waste by sleazy executive ^~$holes. He becomes an ugly flesh-faced innocent...reporter...who looks like Freddy Krueger and trying to convince his girlfriend Richelle that's he's him! He has a unique way to kill...with his face! (???) That's right, another independent film by a nut who copied off certain movies to make a lame-brained spoof of horror movies we have all grown to love. And there's much more to describe the horrifically bad taste. One can't fully understand the awful acting and dumb dialogue as well as the plain colored sets along with the shades and hues of blue. As trying to be hilarious, it's willing to be boring. The character Richelle does a decent job at acting in despair and grief up to the bitter end, and the print looks nice, but what's the meaning of R. OF THE R. R.? Virtually none! It's meaningless in all entirety! Rare movies like this are worth a look, including a bizarre skateboard-psycho network movie I saw called SHREDDER ORPHEUS, but if you're planning on forking tons of dough over that hard-to-find movie, seek financial help. Don't complain about getting cheated over it if you had already spent your hard-earned $80 worth!
This is quite possibly the worst movie ever made. I was up late last night watching movies and came across this piece of filth. This movie is like a train wreck, you just can't look away but are also disgusted at the same time. The actors are horrible! The little brother in the movie apparently grew up to write Cabin Fever, he should stick to writing and away from acting. The fact that this was missed by the Razzies is truly sad. I don't mind a cheesy movie, I was a big fan the Toxic Avenger flick, but this is just a horrible knockoff. This movie should be banned. I had to sleep on it before I could sit down the truly remark on this movie. Now that I am cooled off, I can objectivly state that this very well may be the worst movie ever. Even worse than Rollerball.
After being thrown in a pool of toxic waste the reporter named Mike Wave mutates into radioactive creature hellbent on getting revenge."Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter" by Craig Pryce is an extremely cheesy horror spoof which won Best Independent Theatrical Feature at the 1990 Houston Film Festival.The film was released in almost exactly the same year as Sam Raimi's more serious "Darkman".There is plenty of cheese in "Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter" plus some crude sexual jokes.The plot is extremely silly and the image of Mike urinating radioactive waste into the woman's bathtub is simply unforgettable.If you are into Troma's movies give this trashy junk a look.6 reporters out of 10.The film was shot in Toronto.
This film could be enjoyed by viewers who are 10 and older. Revenge Of The Radioactive Reporter contains enough gore and humor to be OK for the pre-teen and teen late night get-togethers. It is a party film, so don't expect any real acting nor any great scripts nor any great film. I was surprised though, that since I like horror films, that I liked this silly movie. Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter kept my interests enough without having to be glued to my seat. In fact, if you leave and come back, you miss nothing. The movie does contain some decent effects as well as some gore. The Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter does deliver entertainment for those in a silly mood -- there is where this horror film meets its expectations. Popcorn and pizza all around. Fun, smiles, and scares are in this film. I give two thumbs up.
