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.
Coventry What did the leper say to the prostitute? You can keep the tip! This is just one example of a stupid but unresistingly funny little joke that features in "Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter"; a pleasant little amateur horror discovery made by genre fanatics for genre fanatics. Actually, this is perhaps one enthusiast zero-budgeted amateur movie that deserves a little more attention and support, because the ideas and horror knowledge of the people who made this are remarkable and profound. Also the dialogs and cheesy magnified clichéd are bulls eye and quite frankly I don't understand why my fellow reviewers are so negative minded about this film. A young and ambitious journalist, who just proposed to his girlfriend in the most imaginative way I've ever seen, wants to gain fame and reputation by bringing to the surface the malpractices of a local nuclear power plant. Because of their illegal dumping of toxic waste in the water, dozens of people in the area developed terminal cancer. The diabolical board of directors unanimously vote to eliminate the reporter, but he survives the nose dive into a tank of bright green goo and returns as the … Radioactive Reporter, duh! And it will be quite easy for him to get his revenge, because the same people who tried to kill him are now after his fiancée because she might know too much. The radioactive dude quickly adapts to his condition and learns to love killing his foes by the mere touch of his deformed hand or acid saliva. "Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter is quite ingenious and well-written. There's a fairly original detail, for example, that our hero regularly has to the tank of radioactive waste for a dip in order to survive. His methods of murder are fresh and inventive as well. He kills a vainglorious woman by urinating in her bathtub and turning it into a acid hot Jacuzzi. Especially with his journalist's hat on, our anti-hero even looks quite a bit like Freddy Krueger. There's also a downright hilarious scene where he tries to write a letter to his fiancée, but he doesn't get past writing: "Dear Richelle … How can I explain …" and then he has to start over because a piece of gooey and smoking skin fell on the paper. Fun stuff!
~PL~ Revenge of the radioacive reporter is a lame movie with no budget, awful acting, no plot and an EXTREMELY BAD SCENARIO. The jokes are poor...The special effects are horrible, and more. Is it competition with Ed Wood's movies? Well, looks like this. I think that when you make a movie, you are trying to make the best film possible....what the hell the director was thinking???? It was simply laughable! But I taped it, and I watch it more than 4 times a month. When you are tired and when you think you are the worst person in everything, watch this one, you will soon get happy. And, one last thing, I am very proud of being canadian, but this time the americans can laugh at us very loudly!!!I give it 2%.
