The most widely known of Troma Films' stable of low-budget exploitation,The Toxic Avenger is an exuberantly crude poke at superheroes and monstermovies, delivered with a healthy dose of cheap gags, splattery special effects,and T&A. It's also a genuinely funny film, and its no-holds-barred attitude hasa grubby charm that eludes most gross-out comedies. The Toxic Avengeropens with an absurdly vicious crew preying upon Melvin, a nebbishy janitor.Their pranks land him in a vat of chemical waste, which transforms him into alumpy monster that deals out gruesome revenge. Directors (and Troma companyheads) Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz aim low in detailing "Toxie's" vengeancespree, and the subsequent carnage should please gorehounds. But they're alsosavvy enough recognize the film's limitations, and wisely camp things withplenty of slapstick.

Possibly the best comedy/horror B-Movie out there!
When I got this on VHS, I expected just the fun that was awaiting to happen. As soon as I saw Melvin and his clownish encounters with Bozo's gang, I couldn't do nothing but laugh hysterically. You should really see how much of a nerd Melvin is. As cheesy as the movie is, it's a classic and it contains non-stop cheesy action, comedy, gore, and everything you can wish for. The story is basically about a 98 lbs nerd named Melvin who works at the Health Club and gets tossed and bullied around. Eventually he gets chased out a window and falls into chemical waste and burns, goes home and voila! becomes The Toxic Avenger! now the rest of the way, you'll have to watch for yourself what he does. I recommend it to all the people out there who enjoy cheesy flicks like 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' and 'Revenge of the Nerds'. This is the best Troma film ever! hahaha.

The First And Best Of The Toxic Avenger Series!
A 98-pound weakling falls into a barrel of toxic waste and is transformed into a towering hulk of sludge wearing a tutu. At times very gross, the film has developed a cult following.

I love all the violent scenes in this film. It shows you what would happen if you did something like that to someone, but you were to afraid to do it. The violent scenes are also hilarious!
Little kids would just love this film if their parents would let them watch it, which would be really funny.

There aren't too many jokes told in this one. But whenever there are, they are just as funny as Melvin sticking a mop down some guy's throat.

This is the best TOXIC AVENGER film ever. It's a shame that Part 2 & 3 were so bad. Those next two films were horrible. If you want to know what I thought of them, then go check out the sequels and look in the reviews for my name. I'm not going to act like God and tell you to stay away from them. If you want to see them, then go ahead!

I would've actually given this three and a half stars, but since I can't, I'll just give it a fair rate of three stars.

I hope my review was helpful to you!

Oh my god!!! It's the Toxic Avenger...
It all started with a Mop Boy...
His name was Melvin...
Hated by just about everyone, they tortured him. After being cruelly humiliated, the hapless Melvin plunges head first into a barrel of some kind of toxic waste, to emerge the next day transformed into: The Toxic Avenger!!!

One of the Troma Greats, the Toxic Avenger is a classic movie in which good seeks out evil, and finds true love... It is a shame that there are only five stars, because this movie breaks the limit. Go for it, you won't regret it at all!!!

Troma's best
This is definitely one of Troma's best. Peace out!

Oh yeah. What a relief.
A Horror-Comedy comparable to Dead Alive, Army of Darkness, Return of the Living Dead, and Re-Animator. The Toxic Avenger is a cheezy super hero movie, and that's the point. Toxie's erly days, were humble, he was the school nerd who was picked on and teased alot, then one day he falls into some toxic waste and it deforms him, but it gives him superhuman strength, and thus he becomes The Toxic Avenger! If you don't like this film, consider yourself ignorant and in desperate need of therapy. This movie is just flat out funny. Smart people will get it, but the stuck up squares will not. This movie was made this way intentionally. This is the only Trama film worth your time. It's so funny. I haven't laughed so hard in forever. This is a 5 star comedy. Definately a must see for people with taste. ... Read more

Troma Films' Toxic Avenger series shows its lack of legs with the secondsequel to its 1985 hit. Despite a typically absurd premise, which has Toxiebattling Satan to save his hometown of Tromaville, the film lacks the go-for-broke gags and gore that made the first two films such guilty pleasures. Part ofthe reason for this may be that the movie was culled from footage shot for TheToxic Avenger, Part II; Troma heads Lloyd Kaufman (who also helmed thefeature) and Michael Herz simply stitched together Part III from theloose ends. While haphazard construction is part of the charm of Troma's films,the relatively high quality of the Toxic Avenger series raised the bar, and theslapdash nature of Part III is more of a disappointment than a campysource of humor. True to their nature, Troma disregarded the drubbing this filmreceived and completed a fourth entry, Citizen Toxie. --Paul Gaita ... Read more

Apocalypse Now
Still loaded with slapstick gore, the bad guys keep Toxie busy. He never does quite clean up Tromaville. Toxic Avenger III, The Final Temptation, is just as good its predecessors, with its Japanese voice dubbing and Toxi's torn tu-tu in dirty off-pink.
The plot takes a twist. Yes, I said plot. He's got to save his blind bombshell wife. Can he use the bad guys to do this? Food for thought as intestinal double dutch gives him a moment to think. Too gross? Can't be. You sat through the head crushing scene in the first one, and If you opted for the DVD, you sat through the uncut version of the head crushing scene, and you kept eating the microwave popcorn. You're just jealous because you can't rip someone's intestine's out the way Toxie can. Reach, rein! Pull, raus!!
You've bought the first one and The Toxic Avenger II... three's the charm or at least the third in the series, so have the whole collection. You'll sit there again in awe. "How does he do that ?"

I feel let down.
I bought this movie having high expectations after seeing the first one(best movie ever created by man). I popped it in and was pissing my pants in excitement. Little did I know that what stood before me would be the biggest let down in my 16 year life. The one part that made me smile was in the beginning when Toxie ripped that bad guy's intestines out and wrapped them around his neck. I have very high hopes for Toxic Avenger 4 since they really need to make up for this one.

This was a Disappointment
As much as I like Troma films, this movie was seriously disappointing. As a fan of the first two films in the Toxic Avenger series I was expecting a lot more from this third installment. Instead, this movie is a large step backwards from the previous two. The acting is horrible, the fight scenes are awful, and the plot is lacking.
And it features one of the worst endings ever. The "videogame" showdown makes little to no sense. Regardless of whether or not you're a Troma fan I recommend steering clear of this one.

If It's A Comedy, Shoudn't It Be Funny?
I laughed a lot to the first TOXIC AVENGER, I laughed a little more to the second TOXIC AVENGER. I may have laughed about twice during the third TOXIC AVENGER. That's right! It's that boring. I assume only a ten year old would like this film. I know I didn't. Again it's nothing like the original, but it's exactly like the second.

What I don't get, is why Apocalypse Inc. is back after Toxie eliminated them. Bringing them back was very unoriginal. They shouldn't even have a crime business in this one, because the first one didn't. The first one was the only one that was a bit realistic.

The only funny part is what Toxie does with a criminal's intestines at the beginning. And the only fight scene worth watching, is the ending. But the ending isn't that great either. That's how bad this film is.
During the film, stars of the movie admit they're in the movie. Not saying that, that is stupid, because there are movies like that. But, the first one didn't mention anything like that, so why should the second?

It just looks as if the directors Michael Herz, and Lloyd Kaufman didn't even try on improving this film. It looks like they were just looking for a few bucks to put in their pocket.

The jokes are old in this one, not that there are many of those in them anyway, but I noticed they stole a joke from the first TOXIC AVENGER hoping people wouldn't notice. For example, the mother being gruesome joke. The actors also can't even make the joke sound funny. The original actor who told that joke made it sound hilarious.

I sure hope CITIZEN TOXIE: THE TOXIC AVENGER PART IV is worth watching when it comes out. I'm hoping that it will be more like the first TOXIC AVENGER.

This film is pretty rare, and the video store I got it at, was the only video store that I've seen it at. So if you feel like this movie is something you need to see, then go ahead and rent it, because that may be your only chance to get it. But don't be a bonehead, and go buy it. Wait to see what you think about it.

I hope my long review was helpful to you!

Not as bad as people say
Toxic Avenger 3 is my second favorite in the series of three. (soon to be four) The toxic avenger 1 is the best in the series number 2 is the worst because none of the same cast returned and toxies face looked better in the first one and it was boring with toxies woiceover.The third one has some stupid voiceovers but not a lot also some scenes went on way too long.But something they did improve is the gore.In part 2 the gore was replaced with cartoon violence but in part 3 it wasn't cartoony like when he rips out the guys intestine and skip ropes with it.Some other things I like was that it had the same cast even from the first like cirgirface.It even had somethings the first had like toxie wareing the pilon on his head and that joke about mother in laws.All in all toxie 3 was an improvment over part 2 but not better than the first I just hope the fourth ones as good or better than the first. ...

GET IT TODAY
The Toxic Avenger is one of the most important films in independent cinema, and without it there would have been no Lord Of The Rings as we know it. Peter Jackson (only one of Hollywood's major directors who admits to be influenced by Toxie, filmstudio Troma and director Lloyd Kaufman) would never have made his earlier horror-flicks which made him famous enough to be chosen to direct this much too expensive series. The Toxic Avenger may have influenced many directors, it has never quite been surpassed in its originality and brilliance, which is even more surprising if you take into account that it was made for the price of Christopher Lee's breakfast on the set of LotR.

Lloyd Kaufman is a genius, and his films are trendsetting, innovative and completely original. The Toxic Avenger is the one that put his (and Michael Herz's) filmcompany Troma on the map and 30 years later they still survive as a truly independent studio, in spite ofincreasingly below-the-belt practices of the Major Conglomerates who don't really like to have any competition of someone who actually has ORIGINAL IDEAS. Besides Disney, Troma is the only filmcompany in the world that has a legion of fans who follow the Brand in itself. And such a thing can only happen if that brand has proven to be responsible for a continuous string of very special, innovating and high-quality products.

This release is a deserved tribute to one of Horrorfilm's icons. The Toxic Avenger turns 21 this month, and with three sequels to his name he is still more alive than he has ever been. Besides a wonderful TROMAMORPHIC widescreen presentation of the film (that has never looked better) this set offers hours of very interesting bonus-material which makes itquite difficult to turn off the TV set. There is a brand new Audio Commentary. Kaufman's commentary tracks are always an attraction of their own, and this one is certainly no exception. With his unique sense of humor, sharp analisys and immense know-how of making films he offers a highly entertaining, funny and informative commentary that in some cases can even be seen as an extension of his Make Your Own Damn Movie-instructions.
The fist disc also offers very interesting recent interviews with a great number of the original stars of the film, seven deleted scenes, the intro and outro from the original Laser Disc release and an updated 45 minute film showing highlights of many Troma-appearances on festivals and other occasions around the world in "Where in the world is Toxie".
And even though this first disc is more than worth the price alone, there is a second dvd in this set with some fantastic stuff. There are fan-submissions of a number of very interesting reminiscences, hommages and short films of surprising quality that need to be checked out, unique scenes from the successfull theatrical musical TOXIC AVENGER: THE MUSIKILL , original trailers for all toxic avenger films, trailers for other Troma-releases and much more Tromatic information. Another disc that would be interesting enough and worth the low price of the entire set.

This is the ultimate release of this very important film. A MUST BUY for thos who haven't yet seen the film. A HAVE-TO-GET for anyone who is familiar with the film but still does not have the title in their collection, but also a GOTTA-GET-IT-TODAY for those who already have the film, as this presentation is much better than ever before, and it offers a load of highly entertaining, infomative and not-to-be-missed extra's that is unheard-of, especially on such an affordable release.
It's from Troma. Of Course!

For all of you new Troma fans out there...HOLD IT !!
If you are a new Troma fan, get this video. BUT, make damn sure that you get Toxic Avenger IV (Citizen Toxie). It is better and quite a bit funnier. Don't worry, you won't be missing anything by skipping Toxic Avenger II and III. (II and III suck anyway.) Just make sure you get Citizen Toxie. IT IS FAR AND AWAY TROMA'S BEST WORK TO DATE !!! Trust me, you won't be sorry. You'll have to pick your ass up off the ground because you will laugh your ass off after watching this flick. Don't buy TA I without getting Citizen Toxie.

Troma's masterpiece
Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz bring us this black comedy about a nedr who falls into toxic waste and then he comes back as a hero and saves Tromaville from bad people. Made on a low budget with an unknown cast, Toxic Avenger spawned three sequels,a cartton series,and introduced us to the Troma company and then Troma made other movies. the classic scenes include a man's head being crushed by a weight lifting machine,a man's eyes being tooken out,and the classic Mexican restaurant scene. Not recommended for squeamish viewers. Rated R for violence,gore,language,nudity.

Melvin kick loud
Jene connaissait pas la firme Troma, cé avec ce Toxic Avenger qui me la fait connaitre. Je ne suis pas deçue, au contraire j'ai adoré ce film. Bon Tromaville la ville la plus polué ou reigne de vilaine crapule est l'endroit ou le film ce passe. Melvin le pauvre concierge du gym est le souffre-douleur des autres, Les idiots on voulu lui faire une farce qui sait mal tourné parce qu'il ne savais surement pas ce qui allait ce passé. Melvin tombe dans les déchets toxic et devien le super-héro trash 'The Toxic Avenger'. Il fait sont travaille, il netoit la ville de sa vermine en tuant de nombreuse crapule sauvagement jusqua ce qu'il tue une pauvre inocente. Les gens révolté de sont actes s'en prenne a lui, je n'en dirait pas plus au cas ou vous ne l'auriez pas vue. Dans ce film on a le droit a tout, du sexe, des scenes bien gore et émouvante. On s'attache a l'histoire rapidement. bon il y a quelques pépin coté scénario mais on s'en fou le film tien la route quand meme. Amateur de fim trash ce film est la référence je n'ai pas vue les suites qui sont surement moin intense que l'original comme la plupart des suites au classic de l'horreur mais bon a voir absolument. ...

Although "clever" isn't the first word that leaps to mind whendescribing Troma Films' Toxic Avenger series, the sequel to their 1985hit has enough laugh-out-loud gags (amidst a barrage of slapstick and bodilyfunction jokes) that should tickle the funny bones of veteran and novice Tromaviewers alike. The Toxic Avenger, Part II finds the chemically alteredcrime fighter depressed about the lack of evil in his hometown of Tromaville.That situation is quickly reversed by the appearance of the dastardlyApocalypse, Inc., which sends Toxie to Japan after his long-lost father whilethey plan to transform Tromaville into a toxic waste dump. Longtime Troma fansmight feel let down by the subdued levels of gore and gross-out humor found inPart II (which is possibly due to the participation of televisionproduction company Lorimar Films). But the zest with which director/Tromaco-chieftain Lloyd Kaufman delivers his lowbrow laughs should allay any cult fan'sconcerns. --Paul Gaita ... Read more

My eyes must be dead by now.
Sequel to the cult hit THE TOXIC AVENGER is not that good and funny as the original and mote of the gore that makes this series best has been lef out leting the bed acting and comedy take over. If i was you, i wood look for part 1, but wath the hell, this one is worth a look. A "longer Japanese version" and "a U.S. unrated Director's cut" are said to be available. Let's hope so.

1988. Troma. 96 Mins.

Rated R for Violence, nudity/sexuality and for Comic Mischief.

Go Toxi!
Is it in this one or the first one that he finds a wife? Can it happen to a nicer guy all in one video! Toxi has a wife who is buxom, beautiful and blind, but she doesn't care because she loves him as he fights crime and drinks drano. (Sometimes it gives him a little gas. 'Die sonne sheint...')
If you have the first Toxic avenger, go for the gold and get the sequel. If you're not sorry you bought it the first time, you won't be this time around either.

Stay away!
How do Troma have the nerve to sell this as the Director's Cut? It's missing most of the gore, violence and comedy that can be found in the true uncut version available in Japan. Troma always cram their DVDs with extras, some of them quite good, but that doesn't make up for ripping customers off with a useless version of one of their better films.

Not as good as the first
I saw toxie 1 and thought it was the best then I rented part 2 hopeing it would be as good not a chance.First toxies face looked better in the first and his arms didnt look bubbly just white.Also what happend to all the mindless gore instead they have cartoon violence.The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the voice sounds better then in the first one and when he was on the toilet.

A Decent Sequel
A fairly good Sequel that has our toxie going to Japan to find his father and then return home to battle the evil Apocalpyse Inc. Not as good as the original but still worth rental fee. This one is toned down a lot more than the original so most of the blood and gore is absent from this film but other than that its a very entertaining movie that is worth a view or two ... Read more

Turned On Yet?
"The First Turn-On!" is a teen sex-romp camp/beach comedy that skirts the edges of soft-core porn, making it perfect viewing material when you're absolutely convinced you have the house to yourself.

Here's the situation: Michelle, a counselor at Camp Big Tee Pee (Ha ha!), is leading her campers on a nature walk when Mitch, Annie, Danny, and Henry decide to head off to a cave to smoke a joint. I know, that's a lot of folks to be sharing one little reefer. Doesn't really matter, because Michelle finds them and scolds them for a while until there's a cave in, and they all get trapped. What to do?

Well, this being 1983, they talk about sex. Specifically, they each tell the tale of their first times, which are then reenacted for the lucky viewers. So, we get to see Mitch, the greasy punk who keeps flexing his bicep (despite the fact that he doesn't really HAVE a bicep) make out with a blonde hooker, Henry get it on with a young socialite while surrounded by donuts, Annie do the deed with a farm boy, Danny suck face with a Penthouse Pet, and, finally, Michelle herself with a couple of twins. Meanwhile, we cut back to the camp here and there for some more hijinx, which generally involve the humiliation of a male camper or two.

It's pretty standard early 80s teen-sex-comedy stuff, except for a few things. One is the surprisingly huge cast - new people keep showing up all through the flick, which is pretty rare for a micro-budgeted movie like this. Better, though, is that except for the Pet, none of the women fit the conventional teen-sex ideal of beauty. They all have unique features and bodies. Lloyd was clearly interested in casting anyone who was willing to bare a breast or two, and the results are refreshing for a teen-flick. I'm now a big fan of Heidi Miller, who played Annie, and I can't imagine her unconventional looks being featured in any other moron movie. Playboy fans won't like it, but those of us who appreciate diversity will.

Sex-wise, "The First Turn-On!" goes a little farther than your average teen sex-romp. Which is odd, because otherwise it seems pitched at your basic 10-year-old boy. But the sex scenes, which include an extended orgy that has a touch of homoeroticism, go on longer than you might expect. Not sure that's to the movie's credit or not, but hey, there it is.

So what else does "Turn-On!" have to offer? Well, lots and lots of gags. Some will offend you. Some will make you groan. Some will, despite your best intentions, make you laugh. And there are the 80s fashions to make fun of (look how high they wear their tube socks!). Hey, there are worse ways to kill 90 minutes. But again, make sure the house is empty and the shades shut tight. You really don't want to anyone to catch you enjoying it.

Awful!
This is a bad bad bad movie that flip-flops between icky juvenile toilet humor and icky juvenile soft-core porn. A group of teenagers and their counselor get trapped in a cave and tell stories about how they lost their virginity. And....that's it. And it's told in the most tasteless and disgusting way possible. The only reason this movie is seeing the light of day is because it features a young and mortified Vincent D'Onofrio in his film debut. If you want to Vincent, watch a rerun of Law & Order: Criminal Intent and skip this piece of sludge.

The Citizen Kane of Troma films
This is great American cinema.
A classic, deserves a remake.

Great Troma sex comedy classic
The fourth film in the first four Lloyd Kaufman(aka Samuel Weil) /Michael Herz directed Troma films (preceeded by Squeeze Play, Waitress, and Stuck on You). It has all of the originality, comedy and a sex that is known for in Troma films and is more entertaining and shocking then any modern sex comedy. This was film was made right before Troma made the classic Toxic Avenger. The DVD release of this film features one of the best Lloyd Kaufman commentary tracks, aswell as other extra material which reveals Maddona auditioned for the film, and begged to be in a Troma movie but was turned down and shortly after became famous. The picture quality is good, although it could use color correcting, and has some minor scratches. Definetly a great Troma film, and a great Troma DVD.

Demented and incredibly hilarious
This is an absolute gem, and one of the very best films in the extremely uneven Troma ouevre. A twisted parody of every bad teenage sex movie, it will appeal to fans of subversive, raunchy humor. Imagine a really well-made porn film, with good acting, a brilliant script and decent production values, minus most of the explicit sex, and you'll get an idea of this film's greatness. ...

pleasant surprise
I was shocked to find this movie was released on DVD. I've had a crappy VHS copy that I recorded off USA up all night probably 10 years ago. This movie is about two people who are going to get divorced, but an angel is sent to try to help them reconcile. Seriously, I don't know how this movie is not more well known. I die everytime I watch it. I'd rank it up there with Animal House and Fast Times. It's hard to believe it even came out on Troma when you compare it to the other movies they've made.

The best of Lloyd Kaufman's early comedies!
Greetings from Tromaville!

A couple are in a legal battle over palimony, and a judge/angel Gabrial (Professor Irwin Correy)helps them resolve their problems by taking them through a tour of historical disfunctional couples.

This brilliant satire is very well done and contains the first rapping rabbis! It also contains more laughter and foxy ladies than your average Troma film, plus a little gore for you gorehounds out there!

A must buy! Fans should seek out Lloyd Kaufman's "The First Turn-On", "Squeeze Play!" and Mick Napier's "Fatty Drives The Bus!"

Review: Troma's War
Troma, best known at the time, (and pretty much still,) for "The Toxic Avenger," put this truly demented military-action epic together in the late 1980s. It was originally only available in a massively butchered, (thanks, MPAA,) R-rated version and did very poorly, but now it's finally available uncut on VHS and DVD.. and your action-movie education isn't complete until you've seen this film. The plot involves the racially/socially mixed survivors of a terrible plane crash, (a black priest, a blind girl, a Nam vet, a fat guy, a rock band, etc. to name a few) discovering that the island they have "landed" on is populated by a terrorist army planning a secret invasion of the U.S. Great setup for even a traditional action movie, but "Troma's War" goes off in a direction best described as "G.I. Joe on amphetamines," with bloodier-than-Rambo battles, a pig-nosed villian, martial arts, human-ear necklaces, facially-conjoined twins, tongue-removal-torture and an ASTONISHINGLY offensive henchman named Senor Sida, who's "special power" is something I probably can't discuss on a family webpage. ANY sensibilities you may have, this movie will offend... and it's probably the most constantly violent movie in even the Troma library, so it makes one GREAT party tape. Stick around after the credits.

Troma Does a War Flick
Why I continue to plod my way through Troma's catalog of schlock movies is a question not easily answered. "The Toxic Avenger" holds a special place in my heart because that movie was my first real gore film experience. Since then, I have seen many more films from Lloyd Kaufman's warped studio, and none of them ever really matches that first Toxic Avenger picture. If you are not familiar with Troma, they are a movie production company dedicated to releasing the worst trash films in cinematic history. The people at Troma actually revel in their reputation for bad taste through massive self-promotion in all forms of media. "Troma's War" shares attributes with nearly every other Troma film I have seen: atrocious and hammy acting, cheesy but gruesome effects, lame musical scores, pedestrian pacing, and tasteless humor.

The impetus for "Troma's War" is a plane full of civilians crash landing on a seemingly deserted island. Not many passengers survive, but those who do constitute a broad cross section of American society. You have a Catholic priest (who is a great singer!), a trio of rock and roll wannabes, a slimy businessman, a blind girl, the requisite hunky guy and gal, a Vietnam vet (who really gets into the war: he wears a necklace made out of human ears and has the best death scene in the movie), a British guy with a blowgun and poison darts, a few old folks, and a woman with a baby. The surviving passengers spend the first scenes of the movie just trying to figure out what happened and to map a plan of action. When hunky guy Taylor decides to explore the island, he discovers a roving band of soldiers armed with assault weapons slogging through the forest. All the survivors generally agree that this could be a bad thing, especially when they witness a band of armed thugs gunning down one of the defenseless passengers on the beach. Our heroes rapidly head for the hills, so to speak, in order to avoid the armed gangs looking for them.

As "Troma's War" unfolds, the crash victims discover that these soldiers on the island are actually armed mercenaries and terrorists training for a clandestine offensive against the good old United States of America. After some trite soul searching, the group of survivors decides to arm themselves and fight the terrorists in their own backyard. This decision takes on special meaning when the terrorists capture several members of the group and subject them to painful torture techniques, such as exposure to AIDS and throwing a flight attendant off of a watchtower. When our armed heroes liberate the prisoners and kill all of the terrorists, they move on to the main target: a base full of Cuban soldiers and more terrorists. As the enemy soldiers die in numbers that John Rambo would appreciate, the crash survivors also suffer a few casualties in the course of the war.

That's all there is to "Troma's War": several scenes of survivors bonding followed by lengthy battle sequences where people die en masse. Kaufman states in an extra on the disc that "Troma's War" used more squibs (little packets of blood placed on the body and set off with a small charge to simulate gunshot wounds) than nearly any other movie with the possible exception of Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch." Kaufman may be right, but we don't get to see many of those squibs going off because the battle scenes are so poorly choreographed. It looks as though Kaufman directed his cast and extras to just run around and shoot, and we don't get to see much of the carnage in graphic detail because Kaufman and company didn't effectively use slow motion outside of a few "people on fire" scenes. Moreover, the squibs weren't as big as they could have been. I looked forward to blood packets the size of tennis balls, but alas, this did not happen. Overall, there is still a body count so high that it should satiate even the most rabid war movie fan.

Troma made this film in 1988 as a response to the hyperpatriotic, right wing war films like the Rambo series and "Red Dawn." At one point in the film, lead character Taylor waxes philosophic about how he found documents in the terrorist camp proving that right wing elements in America are working with the terrorists because they want to use the resulting chaos to increase their wealth and power over the common man. It's a class and control issue, laments Taylor, and it's up to them to put a stop to this terrible exploitation. Further evidence in this vein comes from the mouths of one of the terrorists, claiming that a campaign to destabilize America will cause the citizens to turn to mercenaries in order to restore the rule of law. I wish someone would one day write an article about left wing themes in Troma films.

The DVD version of "Troma's War" contains even more extras than a normal Troma release. There are interviews with nearly every person involved in the production, from the actors to the stunt people to the crew. The usual tour of Troma studios and intelligence test are here, as are four trailers for such Z grade numbers like "Sizzle Beach, U.S.A." More importantly, the movie on the disc is the unrated director's cut. "Troma's War" isn't the greatest Troma film ever made ("great" being a highly subjective term regarding Troma), but it isn't the worst one, either. Low budget movie aficionados should probably check this one out if they get a chance, as there is plenty of groan worthy material in the movie. I recommend this as a "rent, not buy" experience.

Troma's War
After a Tromatic plane crash on an island somewhere off the face of Cuba, a few spirited Tromaville Citizens are about to find out the harsh reality of guerilla warfare. It is only a short period of time before the battle for life and death begins in one of Troma's ultimate masterpieces. If you like Troma, an interesting plot, or just a plain bloodbath, then Troma's war has it all. Though not the best Troma film, it is still worth getting. Unfortunately, it doesn't measure up to the wonderfully black standards of Terror Firmer, but then again, what could? It is still an amazing film, and a good storyline.

Revolutionary propaganda never smelled so good!
This film turns the tables on the Bush/Reagan-approved "military chic" of the eighties, taking the Ubermerikkkan propaganda that was GI JOE and Rambos II and III and turning it around into a call to arms for the common man against the elites that opress us. As "out-there" as the bad guys (and good guys) seem in this film, you must keep in mind that they are all charicatures to show us how wall street will stab you in the back to protect his neck and pocketbook, how the church has had its tongue ripped out by the powers that be (though it sings on through the blood), and how the true American spirit (not to mention our children's free will) can only be saved when we seperate Military and Monetary powers. Even through the (once-again) EXTREMELY GI JOE-esque visuals, storytelling and soundtrack, this film uses powerful symbolism in the manner of Dali's "Le Sangre D'un Poete" and Orwell's "Animal Farm" to push us over the edge and into seeing what our (barely) free minds are up against. All great art is shocking at the time of release, dated as expired within three weeks, and (seeing how everything in this film is coming true) we will all be studying Troma's War in art school in fifty years tops! If you don't believe that, then you probably think our president was elected legally. Welcome to the Infiltration, I hope you brought a condom!

Steer clear of the R-rated version, as it has had not only its tongue, but also it's heart severed by the MPAA. Not a film for normal Tromites just looking for cheap thrills - THIS IS A THINK PIECE!*

Pretty boring for Troma
I still don't understand people liking this pretty dull movie. It made me angry the first, second, and last time I saw it. I kept trying to give it another chance. Even though it has Aids jokes, tons of dead bodies, and even a woman's thingies blowing up it just wasn't good. Mr.Kaufman didn't know if he was making a gory Troma film or a semi-serious action movie. The main characters are lame, they are way too serious, they kill all the fun. The guy who cuts off ears, the punk band, and the British agent rule! But the "serious" characters seem to bash the movie to death and suck all the life out of it in a lame TV sitcom kind of way. This is Troma at its worst, conforming.

Fortunately this film went more unnoticed than most Troma flicks, and despite Kaufman saying its a masterpiece I still think its [not good]. They soon realized that this wasn't the direction to go and went back hardcore. Seeing their newest film Terror Firmer brings me relief they have long forgot about a seriously dull mistake they made a long time ago. This isn't even worth renting, there's and R rated and unrated version, they both [stink]. ... Read more

Splatter? Moure like a comedy.
This troma montion picture is realy patetic!
If you realy like stupid comedy movies wich is nearly two hours, you will love it. But if you dont have seen "sgt kabukiman N.Y.P.D" and have thought about it as an very bloody and gorey movie (Wich i first thougth) you will be sorry. But if you are a big troma fan, se it anyway cause it is not so bad.

Another victory for Troma
Isn't it ironic that the home video market almost killed Troma and now it is responsible for Troma's huge resurgence? Lloyd Kaufman is not taking it for granted. He is loading up these dvds with extras, not just trailers and triva, but this one comes with the rare animated Kabukiman cartoon! It also has great commentary by the star Rick Gianisi, and if that's not enough may I remind you that the movie is a cult classic because it is a hilarious homage to camp classics like the Adam West Batman series. It can't hurt that one of the female police officers wears a thin white tank top and painted on spandex jogging shorts either!!

I guess this movie's a weenie after all...
Being a reasonably voracious viewer of cult flicks and trash-cinema 'classics', I set my sights on the legendary (?!) Troma™ mo-pic Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD™. After checking it out, I'm sorry to say I was rather disappointed. Now I know Troma™ flicks tend to be silly are not to be taken seriously, but the kimono-clad sarge's misadventures were a bit too dumb even for my low cinematic standards! Sure, it had a few moments of brilliance (such as the "executive shoe-shine" scene and Kabukiman™'s first use of his bizarre powers against a gang of muggers in Central Park), but it was counter-balanced by really corny dialogue (the "you don't have your super-hero learner's permit yet" line was a real groaner), a few dumb sight gags (our hero turning one of the mugger-gang members into a pile of weenies, for example), and the most anticlimactic super-hero/super-villain battle I've ever seen (the one in the Spider-Man™ flick is a close second). There's even a scene transition that was shamelessly ripped off from Spaceballs™ ("nice dissolve...") that's just a little less unfunny here than it as the first time 'round. Most of the side features, including a short promo for the never-developed Kabukiman™ 'toon show and the sarge caught in a sexual harassment suit instigated by the movie's simian star were pretty retarded, too.

But this presentation did have one saving grace: Lloyd Kaufman's feature-length commentary track. He threw out several entertaining anecdotes about the production of the flick, explanations of how certain sequences were shot, and real-life events that inspired some of the scenes. He even gets political during the last several minutes of the feature, letting the listener in on his conspiracy theory regarding the news media and the corporate elite. It was something I found a real hoot to listen to! But other than the smattering of cool scenes and Lloyd's 'Roids, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD™ couldn't even cut it as a part-time mall cop in the precinct that is my video cabinet...

'Late

One of Troma's worst
Sgt Kabukiman is the movie that should have started a whole franchise and become a raging success... if only Lloyd kaufman didn't do it. As it happens, he was the guy that came up with the idea and made this very poor film.

I'm a big fan of Lloyd and Troma movies, and I had read Lloyd's book before seeing this film, so I got to read all about it before I saw it. In the book, he said Sgt kabukiman is the time when he couldn't decide which direction to go in. Whether to make it gory like The Toxic Avenger or make it a fun film suitable for the kids.

He did the worst thing possible, he went half and half. The film is so lackluster in violence that any gore fan will quickly become bored, but at the same time, because there are some dodgy scenes, young children cannot view this movie.

Apart from that fatal flaw, the film is just bad in every other aspect too. The best thing is the actor who plays Kabikiman, this guy deserves all the credit as he does a good performance, but everything else just makes the movie suffer. The sets are cheap, the costumes are cheap, the other actors are terrible, the story is incoherent & the continuity is even worse. Nothing seemes to make much sense.

Another major let-down is the ending. Not only is it extremely predicable and uninspired, but the special effects are of far too low a quality even for a troma movie.

All in all, give this one a miss, have a look at some of Troma's more recent films.

Sgt. K. (is great)!
Every time I see this movie it gets funnier and cooler! The star Rick Gianasi has it all-cuteness,sexyness and a nack for physical humor which makes the movie the greatest! True that the quality of the video isnt great but it improves with the DVD version. I would like it if the sound was 5:1 but I had so much fun with this movie that I didnt miss it too much. Kudos to Lloyd Kaufman about the DVD extras. I would love to meet the people at Troma Team- They seem to be so imaginative and fun. (...) ... Read more

Apocalypse Now
Still loaded with slapstick gore, the bad guys keep Toxie busy. He never does quite clean up Tromaville. Toxic Avenger III, The Final Temptation, is just as good its predecessors, with its Japanese voice dubbing and Toxi's torn tu-tu in dirty off-pink.
The plot takes a twist. Yes, I said plot. He's got to save his blind bombshell wife. Can he use the bad guys to do this? Food for thought as intestinal double dutch gives him a moment to think. Too gross? Can't be. You sat through the head crushing scene in the first one, and If you opted for the DVD, you sat through the uncut version of the head crushing scene, and you kept eating the microwave popcorn. You're just jealous because you can't rip someone's intestine's out the way Toxie can. Reach, rein! Pull, raus!!
You've bought the first one and The Toxic Avenger II... three's the charm or at least the third in the series, so have the whole collection. You'll sit there again in awe. "How does he do that ?"

I feel let down.
I bought this movie having high expectations after seeing the first one(best movie ever created by man). I popped it in and was pissing my pants in excitement. Little did I know that what stood before me would be the biggest let down in my 16 year life. The one part that made me smile was in the beginning when Toxie ripped that bad guy's intestines out and wrapped them around his neck. I have very high hopes for Toxic Avenger 4 since they really need to make up for this one.

This was a Disappointment
As much as I like Troma films, this movie was seriously disappointing. As a fan of the first two films in the Toxic Avenger series I was expecting a lot more from this third installment. Instead, this movie is a large step backwards from the previous two. The acting is horrible, the fight scenes are awful, and the plot is lacking.
And it features one of the worst endings ever. The "videogame" showdown makes little to no sense. Regardless of whether or not you're a Troma fan I recommend steering clear of this one.

If It's A Comedy, Shoudn't It Be Funny?
I laughed a lot to the first TOXIC AVENGER, I laughed a little more to the second TOXIC AVENGER. I may have laughed about twice during the third TOXIC AVENGER. That's right! It's that boring. I assume only a ten year old would like this film. I know I didn't. Again it's nothing like the original, but it's exactly like the second.

What I don't get, is why Apocalypse Inc. is back after Toxie eliminated them. Bringing them back was very unoriginal. They shouldn't even have a crime business in this one, because the first one didn't. The first one was the only one that was a bit realistic.

The only funny part is what Toxie does with a criminal's intestines at the beginning. And the only fight scene worth watching, is the ending. But the ending isn't that great either. That's how bad this film is.
During the film, stars of the movie admit they're in the movie. Not saying that, that is stupid, because there are movies like that. But, the first one didn't mention anything like that, so why should the second?

It just looks as if the directors Michael Herz, and Lloyd Kaufman didn't even try on improving this film. It looks like they were just looking for a few bucks to put in their pocket.

The jokes are old in this one, not that there are many of those in them anyway, but I noticed they stole a joke from the first TOXIC AVENGER hoping people wouldn't notice. For example, the mother being gruesome joke. The actors also can't even make the joke sound funny. The original actor who told that joke made it sound hilarious.

I sure hope CITIZEN TOXIE: THE TOXIC AVENGER PART IV is worth watching when it comes out. I'm hoping that it will be more like the first TOXIC AVENGER.

This film is pretty rare, and the video store I got it at, was the only video store that I've seen it at. So if you feel like this movie is something you need to see, then go ahead and rent it, because that may be your only chance to get it. But don't be a bonehead, and go buy it. Wait to see what you think about it.

I hope my long review was helpful to you!

Not as bad as people say
Toxic Avenger 3 is my second favorite in the series of three. (soon to be four) The toxic avenger 1 is the best in the series number 2 is the worst because none of the same cast returned and toxies face looked better in the first one and it was boring with toxies woiceover.The third one has some stupid voiceovers but not a lot also some scenes went on way too long.But something they did improve is the gore.In part 2 the gore was replaced with cartoon violence but in part 3 it wasn't cartoony like when he rips out the guys intestine and skip ropes with it.Some other things I like was that it had the same cast even from the first like cirgirface.It even had somethings the first had like toxie wareing the pilon on his head and that joke about mother in laws.All in all toxie 3 was an improvment over part 2 but not better than the first I just hope the fourth ones as good or better than the first. ...

My eyes must be dead by now.
Sequel to the cult hit THE TOXIC AVENGER is not that good and funny as the original and mote of the gore that makes this series best has been lef out leting the bed acting and comedy take over. If i was you, i wood look for part 1, but wath the hell, this one is worth a look. A "longer Japanese version" and "a U.S. unrated Director's cut" are said to be available. Let's hope so.

1988. Troma. 96 Mins.

Rated R for Violence, nudity/sexuality and for Comic Mischief.

Go Toxi!
Is it in this one or the first one that he finds a wife? Can it happen to a nicer guy all in one video! Toxi has a wife who is buxom, beautiful and blind, but she doesn't care because she loves him as he fights crime and drinks drano. (Sometimes it gives him a little gas. 'Die sonne sheint...')
If you have the first Toxic avenger, go for the gold and get the sequel. If you're not sorry you bought it the first time, you won't be this time around either.

Stay away!
How do Troma have the nerve to sell this as the Director's Cut? It's missing most of the gore, violence and comedy that can be found in the true uncut version available in Japan. Troma always cram their DVDs with extras, some of them quite good, but that doesn't make up for ripping customers off with a useless version of one of their better films.

Not as good as the first
I saw toxie 1 and thought it was the best then I rented part 2 hopeing it would be as good not a chance.First toxies face looked better in the first and his arms didnt look bubbly just white.Also what happend to all the mindless gore instead they have cartoon violence.The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the voice sounds better then in the first one and when he was on the toilet.

A Decent Sequel
A fairly good Sequel that has our toxie going to Japan to find his father and then return home to battle the evil Apocalpyse Inc. Not as good as the original but still worth rental fee. This one is toned down a lot more than the original so most of the blood and gore is absent from this film but other than that its a very entertaining movie that is worth a view or two ... Read more
