The Toxic Avenger

Tromaville, NJ. Night. A mop and bucket. Bullies play a prank, sending a hapless gym janitor through a window and into a vat of glowing toxic waste. He emerges as a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength, ready to fight evil. A Troma joint for the midnight-moviegoer.
