Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV (2001)

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I had to watch this twice and I'm still not really sure about.The second time, I saw a newer version that starts off by explaining that parts two and three sucked and this is the true sequel.While that helps a little bit, it raises as many questions as it answers.The movie starts off great.Lots of great comedy and action and lots of cameos, including the Sklar brothers as the local news team.They are by far the best part of all four movies.Even though it starts off strong, it doesn't make any sense.Toxie has a fat sidekick and we're supposed to just act like he was always there?His girlfriend is blind again too.I guess that's why they added the extra part at the beginning but if you saw the original version you would never understand what was going on.You should also watch Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD first.He's in this movie and you are just supposed to already know all about him.All that negative stuff aside, it's not really that bad.If this had been the only Toxic Avenger movie, it would have been a classic.Most people who like to watch movies in order will never even get this far, there's too much trash to wade through.

This is miles away from the original Toxic Avenger (1984). This is really absurd and over the top full with gore and nudity as gratuitous as it can be, even full frontal. Even the face of Toxie looks different. Looks great isn't it, well, sadly it isn't.By doing things rather over the top and even dull it isn't an entry for every fan of Toxie. This is really and literally full of feces and p*ss and even fake cum. And it's done by disabled people who are made fun of, it's done by adult penetrating girls and boys and Toxie. Even blow jobs are given by fat guys to normal guys and by nude girls to doctors, yes this is really absurd.But clocking in over the usual 90 minutes it do becomes boring at times. It's worth seeing for some gory moments and I mean gore but it also did me pick up the remote to push the fast forward or even the eject button.Gore 3/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 2/5 Story 0/5 Comedy 0/5

Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4 is by far the best of the Toxic Avenger series iv'e seen yet{ At least the Directors Cut}. All in all I really didn't enjoy this movie that much but just to be fair to splatter fans I have to say this is the ultimate comedic splatter-fest. This movie contains extreme blood, gore, and just about every bodily fluid known to man. If your a fan of these kinds of films then look no further this movie has it all. I mean it has it all! I really can't describe to you what watching this movie is like. So if your a fan with an iron stomach then this is a definite must see. If your not then this is going to be one strange and gross roller coaster ride for you. Viewer beware, your in for a gross-out-palooza!Note: If you want the full experience I urge you to get the Unrated Directors Cut.

Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV starts as a gang of terrorists known as the Diaper Mafia led by Tex Diaper (co-writer Trent Haaga) storm the Tromaville school for the very special & hold a class of very special kids & they're teacher hostage. The Toxic Avenger (David Mattey) & his sidekick Lardass (Joe Fleishaker) are on the case, they confront the gang in an attempt to rescue the kids but discover Tex has rigged a bomb to explode. Which it does. The resulting explosion opens an interdimensional hole in which the Toxic Avenger is transported to Tromadu, an exact opposite of Tromaville while his evil opposite from Tromadu known as the Noxic Offender ends up in Tromaville. Still with me? Good. The Noxic Avenger starts to systematically slaughter the residents of Tromaville & cause mayhem the Toxic Avenger finds himself in a place where he is considered evil, he must find a way back to his beloved Tromaville & stop the Noxic Avenger & his reign of evil...Co-written, co-produced & directed by Lloyd Kaufman this is the fourth, & to date the last, Toxic Avenger film & is a huge improvement on the first two sequels especially Part III. The script by Kaufman, Patrick Cassidy, Gabriel Friedman & Trent Haaga feels much more like the original film with a decent & at times amusing blend of gross out humour & outrageous gore that has something to offend most. From poking fun at retards in a scene when the Diaper Mafia burst into their class with machine guns & their teacher says duck to which they all start quacking & flapping their arms! The collection of lame superheros like Dolphin man & Master-Bator who can shoot massive amounts of white sticky liquid from his crotch area! There's plenty of the usual childish juvenile Troma bad taste humour with lots of fart gags, making fun of people with disability, toilet humour, male prostitutes & large mutant penis monsters who try to rape Toxie up the rear, there's something here for everyone & I thought the way everyone referred to the retards as 'special' was funny. The gore & violence are also back in this entry, everything is turned up to the max & there's a real energy running through this one almost as if the filmmakers actually cared about the finished product, not something I could say with regard to that many Troma films. The story is fun, it moves along like a rocket & is a pretty entertaining & funny film if you have a slightly twisted sense of humour. All that rubbishy narration is gone as well & the film has proper dialogue.Director Kaufman surely hasn't made a better film? This one is actually quite competent with reasonable special effects, a nice sense of fun. Another Troma character Sgt. Kabukiman makes an appearance while the Toxic Avenger himself looks different this time around with a much better make-up job. The gore is back big time, there are numerous crushed heads including an old lady having her head run over, people have there intestines ripped out, someone has their arms ripped off, someone has a stake shoved through their throat, there's loads of blood as dozens of people are killed, limbs are severed, tongues & eyes are pulled out, people are gunned down & Mad Cowboy gets put through a meat mincing machine with blood spurting results plus a whole load more as well. There's plenty of nudity as well with enough lesbianism & sex to satisfy.Technically the film is alright, when compared to a multi million dollar Hollywood production than it's not going to hold up that well but for a Troma film this is Oscar worthy stuff. The acting was OK, again considering this is Troma.Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV is much better than the usual Troma film & is a fairly decent watch on it's own, maybe not quite as good as the original but it's up there, definitely worth a watch for those with a questionable sense of humour & those with the stomach. The other Toxic Avenger films are The Toxic Avenger (1985), The Toxic Avenger, Part II (1989) & the truly terrible The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie (1989).
