Mega64 Movie Club: The Toxic Avenger
Added 2021-11-14 21:05:11 +0000 UTCWhen we were kids, some of us watched a cartoon called Toxic Crusaders- based on a movie none of us had seen! So why was the original film concealed from us all those years ago? Well, we find out on today's Movie Club episode. This gruesome indie punk flick definitely makes an impression- but what was our take on this badly dubbed toxic nightmare?
Next episode will be GALAXY QUEST!

A couple fun facts, Lloyd Kaufman has said that the scene with the dog being killed got more hate mail and theatre walk-out's than any other scene in the movie. You're also not wrong about The Aquabats loving this movie, they have a song called "I Love The Monster" that was released as a free download after they released Myths & Legends Vol. 2; it's still available today. If you want to know more about Lloyd Kaufman and Troma's early years, including the making of this movie then you should read All I Need To Know About Filmmaking I Learned From The Toxic Avenger, written by Kaufman and James Gunn.

2021-12-01 18:01:28 +0000 UTCI had the same issue as Rocco. It was widescreen with the letterboxing but it was also pillarboxed to 4:3 (so there were black bars on all 4 sides). I think the full picture was there, it was just cramped into the middle of the screen. I zoomed in with my TV and that made it work.
