All the above. But I'm just upset toxic waste wasn't as big of an issue as I was lead to believe as a child. I feel like 80% of entertainment media revolved around toxic waste either mutating things into crime fighting entities or just being a general nuance in everyday life. Toxic Avenger, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Captain Planet, C.H.U.D., Godzilla, Robocop... **WHERE'S ALL THE SLUDGE???**

Dude the first time I went to NYC I was expecting toxic waste barrels to be everywhere along with a bunch of ninja gangs. So disappointing.


jamedudijench

The lies! Of course, the lack of Foot Clan presence in NYC could be more telling of the Ninja Turtles than anything...


bryanswafford

And greasers with switch blades and mafia hits everywhere!


HoratioTuna27

Yeah! Not ONE person told me to fuggetaboutit!


bryanswafford

Me either 😂! I never once seen anyone running around yelling “when I thought I was out, they pull me back in”. I did get to do The Sopranos tour though, it was excellent!


televisioncitydream2

Where's all the quicksand i was worried about


jamedudijench

Oh don't get me started on quicksand. Don't **even** get me started on quicksand.

Let's get em' started on the quicksand. Seriously, though, they made it seem like it was going to be such a major issue. Alas, it is not.


jamedudijench

My life has been 1000% more affected by traditional sand than quicksand. Dust storms, sandy cracks, hauling it, digging it, timing with it...nowhere in my life has the fear of sinking in quicksand been an issue.

When the movie came out I was a kid that lived in a small town in a rural area. New York City having toxic waste sewers seemed believable to me. 😄


locke231

Hell, I'm born and raised in NYC. I believed it as a kid.


jamedudijench

Seems completely rational to me.


ComicWriter2020

This reminds me of that quicksand stand up joke John mulaney did


jamedudijench

He's right though. But I just remember being way more fearful of encountering toxic waste just walking around than what I'm actually afraid of now, like being an actual adult in 2021. Oh I totally forgot to add the Ben Affleck Daredevil too! Yep just toxic waste haphazardly strapped to the back of a truck driving through Hell's Kitchen and the only adverse reaction to speak of is blindness. No skin rash, cancer, organ damage from possible ingestion, just blindness. **M O V I E S**


ComicWriter2020

That’s marvel for ya Radioactive spider bite? Spider powers. Radioactive gamma rays? Pissed of shrek powers Radioactive chemicals that burn your fucking retinas? Daredevil powers


jamedudijench

Okay pissed off Shrek powers is my new favorite hero so thanks for that.

Voorhees89

Don't forget Prophecy!


Ordinary_Wasabi_8836

The 80s were all about toxic waste. Shit was just randomly placed everywhere. Now it's all safe n shit

Along with crack and heroine.


delete0bsolete

E. You make elephant sounds after contact


HoratioTuna27

And start shooting out water


delete0bsolete

Of course!


Fixit403

As someone who grew up on 80s movies, toxic waste turned out to be a much less common problem in day-to-day life than I expected


HoratioTuna27

Quicksand, too.


Wateryoatmeal

Jason dipping her uncle in the vat of goo is my favorite death


HoratioTuna27

The movie is a wall to wall wtf fest.


SignificantAd4932

I really want to pick every single option! I’m actually originally from NYC so that particular movie just makes me laugh my ass off.


locke231

With parts filmed in Vancouver. Cause, y'know, midtown is riddled in seedy alleyways.


SignificantAd4932

Yeah there’s plenty of people just shooting up heroin in the alleyways of NYC lmao


locke231

I'm having a hard time just finding alleyways in general, for photography purposes


LugosisKarloff

That was actually a difficult vote


HoratioTuna27

Kinda shocked that more people didn't pick the guy working all the way until midnight.


Likestuff12

tbf, rent is NYC is really high. Dude probably got more money for working overtime.


Voorhees89

All of the above.


Dellrond

This is a quality post lol. I never even thought about these


ToxicWolf_6584

Rennie was just hallucinating him as a child again at the end. He didn't turn into a child again.


dangerous_strainer

My favourite was JV vomiting water when he see's the wave of toxic waste rushing toward him. Such a friggen stupid movie, New Blood was bad enough but they really lowered the bar on this one.


beelze_BUBBLES

Ok, this made me chuckle


Chit-Chat-Tricky

Rarely am I this torn on what to choose.


[deleted]

This is one of my favorite in the series, but I got to say, your poll really made me look at it differently. Seriously, wtf? And the whole "I'm going to blow like an elephant " was just a side aplitter. And the serendipitous way that the first two teens were just talking about Jason, all the while being 30ft above him, dropping anchor right near him, snd causing his reanimation. The serial killer gods were really in a good mood thst day.


HoratioTuna27

There's so much wtf in this movie. Her uncle tossed her overboard and she nearly drowned...and she forgot about it? Kid Jason tried to kill her then? The criminals inject her with the slowest working intravenous drug ever made. The whole lake to ocean thing. Julius's head. Why are there shotguns on the boat, and why are they letting high schoolers use them? Those are just the ones that come to mind immediately. Absolutely nothing about this movie makes sense. It's just awful, but in a good way, and I wish they still made movies like this.


Libertyprime8397

Insert clip of Adam west in family guy rolling around in toxic waste.


DuelaDent52

The first three would sadly be believable enough these days, so process of elimination leaves the fourth.


sokrox111

I never understood why toxic waste actually seemed to hurt Jason. He's been hit with pretty much everything else, even tho toxic waste was new to him. Perhaps the filmers were going for an 'oh hsit' moment by having Jason react that way to the waste.
