If only for the BFI warning that comes with this movie - "this film contains scenes that some viewers may find offensive" - this has got to be recommended. This "very definitio of schlock" also screens on 12 June. More details here.
Chicago Reader review:
A 98-pound weakling falls into a tub of toxic waste and emerges as a superhero; the first order of business is revenge on all the creeps who picked on him earlier. Cruddy, primal, extremely violent, and fairly entertaining, this 1984 feature from the New York-based exploitation outfit Troma, Inc. (Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz) captures some of the snot-flicking spirit of the old EC comics. How much you'll enjoy its deliberate crudity probably depends on how far you can let yourself regress to surly adolescence.
