 The TRUE sequel - the best film! April 22, 2003

Lloyd Kaufman is a genius making masterpieces on a budget that would barely be enough to pay for one day's catering on an average Hollywood producton and he does it for thirty years now. In a world where low budget independent filmmaking means manymultimillion dollar productions by subdivisions of Warner and Disney, Lloyd Kaufman survived for three decades (and counting) with his truly independent filmcompany Troma and in doing so directed, produced and/or wrote dozens of brilliant films. (For which he received a lifetime achievement award at this year's edition of the prestigious Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival.)
CITIZEN TOXIE: THE TOXIC AVENGER IV is his latest and even better than even those brilliant masterpieces as TROMEO AND JULIET and TERROR FIRMER. I am not going to give away anything of the story, too much is happening in any case to even begin to tell you about in a few lines, but it is SO wonderful you just have to see it for yourself. Dave Mattey is ondoubtly the best Toxie of all four films, Heidi Sjursen his best (in this case) Sarah, and even though the budget of the film is not much more than that of the first one, made almost twenty years ago the production value of this one is unbelievable! This exact same film made by one of the Official Indepentents (Miramax, how independent can one be?) would have cost at least ten times this amount. And then - they would never have the guts and the intelligence to come up with this totally awesome film in which more aspects of our messed-up world are tackled that they could cram in their entire catalogue.
Apart from a film you can't afford to miss, this 2-disc-DVD-set (and look at the rediculously low price!) provides you with SO much more. There are no less than three full-length audio-commentaries. One by director Lloyd Kaufman, and his commentaries are always at least as entertaining and insightful as the feature itself. This particular one even includes a soundsample of Troma co-founder Michael Herz!! The second one is a wonderfully compiled track with contributions by the most important stars of the film, including Troma Action Hero Joe Fleishaker, star of many of Kaufman's past movies.
Another track is by the editors of the film and provides even more info on how such a brilliant film could be made under conditions that are difficult to say the least. At any rate - much more is there, such as loads of deleted scenes (with or without commentary), talks with the cast and crew, footage of CITIZEN TOXIE-premieres around the world, tons of hidden easter-eggs and much, much more. Apart from all this there even is a complete second feature: the 135 minute behind-the-scenes documentary APOCALYSPE SOON, which also comes complete with it's own deleted scenes! This is NOT the usual "he is wonderful, he is great, he is the best" docu - as the audiocommentaries do it provides a no holds barred look inside the hard-working-low-paying world of independent cinema. These people are HONEST, and where do you get that on your DVD-extra's??
There is no doubt this is the very best DVD-presentation of a movie ever - over six hours of Tromatic entertainment, and I'm not even counting the multiple viewings of the film itself with the various audio-tracks! Count those and you need a week to take in all information this instant interactive encyclopeadia provides.
If you haven't seen the other installements of THE TOXIC AVENGER, not to worry as everything you need to know is worked into the movie, without it being boring for those who are familiar.
Don't rent this one, don't watch your friend's copy but support independent cinema and buy our own copy. You never received so much value for your bucks!! (Except maybe when you bought Lloyd Kaufman's latest book MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN MOVIE).

A long time fan of Troma, I was very excited about the next installment in the Toxic Avenger series. Let me just tell you that I have seen a lot of weird, messed up, and down right insane movies, but this one has got to take the cake. They spared absolutely no expense in trying to offend every person, political group, organization, and anything and everything basically under the sun. It made me proud. I was even shocked at the extent they went, and that is REALLY hard to do. Just when I thought they had covered all aspects of humanity they would add another tid-bit of juicy offensiveness. I was very impressed with the effort that they had obviously put into this film, in excluding nothing from it's insulting and vulgar attacks. It's hilarious, full of cheese, and has plenty of violence. The plot is simple: Toxie gets mixed up with his evil twin Noxie and they end up in each other's different planes of existence-let the fun begin! Fans of troma and Toxie will cherish this movie, after I rented it I had to own it. It also has plenty of extras on the DVD, including a troma trivia game. This movie is bound to shock even the most desensitized viewer, as it did me, and delight all you morbid peoples' funny bones! Definitely a classic, and definitely worth it's weight in gold.
Greatest Film in the world April 15, 2006
Dave Jago (Suffolk, England)
This is the greatest film ever, I enjoyed reading Robert Hedges review of it, how could watching a car run over a grannies head causing the granny to squirt diarrhea all over the road not make you laugh, yes it is mindless gore but thats the whole point, its not going to encourage any reall life violence because its so over the top, also the film has its heart in the right place, the toxic avenger only kills people in a manner of comical ways when someone does something wrong. Political correctness had started to suffocatte us before comedies such as the simpsons and south park started to target absolutely everybody without exeption, this film does the same.

not better than the original but nearly just as good. June 9, 2007

the first toxic avenger is one of my favorite films and on my list of favorite films. the 2nd and 3rd werent to great but after seeing the trailer for citizen toxie on my copy of the original i couldnt wait to see it. in this film toxie gets thrown into an alternate universe and an evil toxie named the noxious offender goes to toxies universe. toxie has to get back in his own universe and defeat noxie while battling other feinds along the way. this film is great. its full of over the top gore, gross out gags, politically incorect humor and gratuitous nudity everyone can enjoy. saying that, this film is not for everyone. people who are offended easilly or cant take a joke will not like this film because it makes fun of abortion, school shootings, the mentally handicap, racism and much more. the only thing that i didnt totally enjoy was that toxies make up wasnt that great. he looks cool, but his make up is kinda lame. toxie still looks cool and this movie is awesome. its nearly as good as the original and one of the few films i can watch over and over again. awesome!
