Corrected entry: A woman's jar of popcorn is stuck. Toxie takes it, it's a jar of unpopped kernels. When he hands it back, it's suddenly popped corn.
The Toxic Avenger (1984)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Lloyd Kaufman, Michael Herz
Starring: Andree Maranda, Cindy Manion, Jennifer Babtist, Jennifer Prichard, Mitch Cohen
Continuity mistake: When Melvin falls into the toxic waste, he is wearing tights and a tutu, but when his stunt double runs up the street in flames, he's obviously wearing trousers and a shirt.
Officer O'Clancy: No way, you're wasting your time.
Cigar Face: That's where you're wrong. YOU'RE wasting our time. And now we're gonna waste you.
Trivia: In this film the title character is never referred to as "The Toxic Avenger"; he is only referred to as "Monster Hero." In his first book, "All I Needed To Know About Filmmaking I Learned From The Toxic Avenger," the director Lloyd Kaufman revealed that the reason for this was because the working title of the movie was "The Monster Hero," and that the change to the title "The Toxic Avenger" only occurred at the "last minute." The character was consistently referred to as Toxic Avenger, or Toxie, throughout this movie's three sequels: "The Toxic Avenger II," "The Toxic Avenger III: The Last Temptation of Toxie," and "The Toxic Avenger IV: Citizen Toxie."

Correction: This is not a mistake, the implication here is that the radiation from the Toxie is what caused the kernels to pop.
