Has anyone here seen these movies? Or own the box set? Here's a kill from the movie, the most famous one ever. It's slightly edited but the DVD version is the UnRated Directors cut!
If not here's the run down.The Toxic Avenger is an American cult classic horror film first released in late 1985 by Troma Entertainment, known for producing low budget B-movies with campy concepts. Virtually ignored upon its first release, The Toxic Avenger caught on with moviegoers after a long and successful midnight movie engagement at the famed Bleecker Street Cinemas in New York City in late 1985. The film was followed by two unsuccessful sequels: The Toxic Avenger Part II and The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie (which were filmed as one movie. Director Lloyd Kaufman, however, realized that he had shot far too much footage for one movie, and reedited it into two.). A third independent film sequel/remake was also released, entitled Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV. Parts II and III were seen as disappointing by many fans, some of whom accused Troma of selling out, due to the films having far less violence and offensive humour when compared to the original film.

Cool abraxas I'm glad you like it!
XN If you got the "Tox Box" you still have to buy the unrated Citizen Toxie! That's Part 4 because the Tox Box has that cartoon instead. I bought Part 4 and replaced the Cartoon with it in the box set.
Corey Feldman is in that one!

perfect! no problem!
It's supposed to be a direct sequel to Part 1 I guess. There's no obvious sign of that, but most say it's the best sequel after Part 1.

I first saw the Toxic Avenger films on USA Up All Night. The first one is pretty cool, the others are just ok.

The first one is classic. Originals usually are. ;D
Parts 2 and 3 were OK.
Part 4 was better than 2 and 3 and had a lot of gore like the original. Toxie is cool.

According to Lloyd Kaufman, due to the remake of his brother Charles' film Mother's Day major motion picture companies are interested in doing remakes of other Troma films. Among the titles currently in negotiation is the Toxic Avenger. On the 6th of April 2010 a remake of The Toxic Avenger was announced. The remake was said to be aiming for a family friendly PG-13 release similar to the Toxic Crusaders. Toxic Avenger 5 COMING SOON!
