Ken S.'s rating
I remember seeing this and many movies of this ilk during the early heyday of the Playboy Channel.
Of course many of the graphic scenes were cut, but me and a lot of my college friends could have cared less as we knew what was happening. Eric Edwards, an excellent actor and far better than today's lot played against type (yes, that's possible in adult films) as a hoodlum along with sidekick Randy West. They kidnap the girls where ultimately they end up falling for them.
Lee Carroll is hilarious as the comic relief.
I guess Mr. Edwards made an earlier comment on this movie, which was pretty cool. The said actress he was with from a later movie was the late Angelique Pettyjohn, who guested on the original Star Trek episode "Gamesters of Triskilion." She did several other legit roles in episodes like Get Smart and appeared in an Elvis Presley movie and the cult classic "Repo Man." Would love to hear from Eric Edwards on how that came to be.
Anyway, one of the better adult movies.

Definitely one of the best films ever made. The other films apart, this was the masterpiece for David Lean, Peter O'Toole and Omar Shariff. Even the small parts by greats like the immortal Claude Raines were perfectly done.
Like other comments, this movie is best viewed (or perhaps mandatory's the word) in a big screen theatre. To outsiders the movie can be deemed as long, sprawling and slow-moving, but it's truly wonderous in its scope with A++ acting from an A+ acting ensemble and the locations were second to none, but that's what one would expect from a David Lean production.
Women might not like it as there were no speaking parts for them, but tell me where would even one line fit for a woman?
A must see and one of the essentials in movie history.

Definitely one of the best of its genres.
The Toxic Avenger is up there with other great "B" movies like Death Race 2000, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
It's a shame though that you really didn't hear a whole lot about some of the actors like Andree Maranda afterwards. It's the only movie she ever made putting her in a class with Alicia Rhett (India from Gone With the Wind).
USA Network used to show the movie and its sequels quite frequently in the 90s, but I haven't seen it on tape or DVD in more than five years. But when it comes out, I'm buying it.
Troma's best bar none in my opinion.
