chopped up boobs are not very cool.

Toxic Avenger Films...like all Troma films are for a "Special breed" of horror fan. Their movies are almost always completely over the top in regards to; gore, violence, gross toilet humor, titty shots, soft porn, racism (but they pick on everyone), stupidity, bad lines, bad acting, etc...BUT...they are FUN to watch....just in small doses. I like them myself, one of my favorite Troma movies is Citizen Toxie. It's not a movie (nor are any of the others that I'm aware of) that you would want to watch several times a month, and you may even be abit uncomfortable watching it with your Mom... but, for the Horror fan that likes out and out grossness and B to C-movies, you can't beat them.

Although by no means an amazing film it is very entertaining and therfore should be viewed at least once. The gore is minimal and the nudity (which really doesnt impact wether or not its good or bad) is throughout the film.

they were amusing at first (Troma) but like Full Moon - they became stuck in a rut and tried to use their 'manufactured quirkiness' to excuse the shoddy production values.
I think they collapsed in on themselves ..

that kind of quirkiness is only fun when it's not so self aware ..
when its more of an entheusiastic happy accident - it works ..

when it's contrived and shallow - it seems very stale to me ..

I liked the early Full Moon pictures like Demonic Toys and Puppet Master. They basically stopped bringing them out over here which from what people have told me I'm lucky a lot of the titles haven't seen the light of day.
