HumanoidOfFlesh After being thrown in a pool of toxic waste the reporter named Mike Wave mutates into radioactive creature hellbent on getting revenge."Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter" by Craig Pryce is an extremely cheesy horror spoof which won Best Independent Theatrical Feature at the 1990 Houston Film Festival.The film was released in almost exactly the same year as Sam Raimi's more serious "Darkman".There is plenty of cheese in "Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter" plus some crude sexual jokes.The plot is extremely silly and the image of Mike urinating radioactive waste into the woman's bathtub is simply unforgettable.If you are into Troma's movies give this trashy junk a look.6 reporters out of 10.The film was shot in Toronto.
Vivekmaru45 Don't read the negative reviews given by other people. I have seen this film many times. The plot is well suited to the title of the film, as it is all about revenge. There is similarity here with films like Dead Heat and Vindicator. The Plot is this: a reporter sets out to uncover the unsafe conditions at the nearby nuclear power plant. He talks to the director of the power plant and tells him of his findings. The director tells him that there is no problem and leads him personally on an inspection tour of the plant.Deliberately while the reporter is off-guard, the director pushes him into a pool of radioactive toxic waste. The director is very happy at his smart disposal of the annoying reporter.However the reporter is still very much alive, and thirsting for revenge against the director. What happens next has to be seen to be believed..... Excellent make-up effects and good gore and action to quench horror fans. Ghoulish humor galore in this film as it is a horror-comedy genre film but it turns into a serious affair towards the end and our sympathies turn towards the poor reporter.I highly recommend this film for those of you who have not watched it.
SuperDaveMader This is quite possibly the worst movie ever made. I was up late last night watching movies and came across this piece of filth. This movie is like a train wreck, you just can't look away but are also disgusted at the same time. The actors are horrible! The little brother in the movie apparently grew up to write Cabin Fever, he should stick to writing and away from acting. The fact that this was missed by the Razzies is truly sad. I don't mind a cheesy movie, I was a big fan the Toxic Avenger flick, but this is just a horrible knockoff. This movie should be banned. I had to sleep on it before I could sit down the truly remark on this movie. Now that I am cooled off, I can objectivly state that this very well may be the worst movie ever. Even worse than Rollerball.
Bobino-2 Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I saw it announced in the TV Guide so I taped it and I found out just how bad it was. Unless you're making a Movie Cheesefest, don't watch this (if you can FIND the movie)!This movie is so cheap I can't believe the Canadian government gave a subvention to these people to make such a lame picture.The script is poor. Predictable, cheesy, boring, and the jokes are not even funny. It's a about a reporter who finds out that the local nuclear power plant board of directors is poisoning the environment, and he threatens to reveal their little evil conspiracy to the media, but before he does, the evil director throws him in a pool of radioactive waste. But miraculously, he survives and becomes a superhuman being with radioactive powers, killing the power plant's employees one by one. Seen that before.The actors are the worst it can possibly get. I'm glad it was the only movie Kathryn Boese (Richelle) was into, because I honestly never saw a worst actress. Randy Pearlstein also doesn't deliver, proving that he has no experience in acting.If you look closely during the movie, you can see some Dollar Store props, like the foot left behind when Tony Trouble gets eaten up by the giant monkey (yes you heard me right). It just shows you how bad this movie is.So basically, everything about this movie, the script, the actors, the plot, the sets, the props, the cinematography, the music, sucked. It should be shown at movie schools for people never to make something that bad again.The Master T Score: 1/2 out of 5 Stars (for entertainment)
