The Toxic Avenger(1984)

6.3/10

dir. Lloyd Kaufman, Michael Herz

S-Tier

The Troma 4K boxset is the first proper 4K of the 1984 original alongside Parts II, III, and Citizen Toxie. Strong S-Tier transfer that lets the latex and karo syrup pop the way Lloyd Kaufman intended. Umbrella's Australian Tox Box: Full Contamination is incoming in 2026 with regional packaging and likely Dolby Vision. The Troma set is the better default for US shoppers; Umbrella runs deluxe.
