Unrated Director's Cut!
21 years ago, a legend was born that forever changed the face of American Cinema...
After falling into a misplaced barrel of nuclear waster, nerdy 90-lb. janitor Melvin is transformed into THE TOXIC AVENGER, the world-famous hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength!

THE TOXIC AVENGER is part of the American lexicon, Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, Trey Parker and many other credit THE TOXIC AVENGER as an influence in their youth. On this 2 DVD set, see exclusive never-before-seen interviews with directors Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz and stars Robert Prichard, Dan Snow, and Mitch Cohen, the original Toxic Avenger. This set also includes interviews with Toxie fans from around the world, the original theatrical cover art and an exclusive look at "The Toxic Avenger Musikill"!
