Featured review
Well, here goes. I gotta say, I like Toxic 2 for a different reason from Toxic 1. Toxic 1 was horrible the first time I watched it. I saw head crusing and dying and I though...WHAT HAVE I BOUGHT? But then I watched it again and realised how funny it was. Thus, I bought Toxic Avenger two or, as I lovingly call it, Toxie In Tokyo. THis movie really looks like a comic book. Peoples heads spin, gangs of bad guys (and I mean gangs as in 30 people) continusaly pile out of a limosine. Toxie is now a little sillier, and I think they knew what kind of movie they were making. This could double as something on Cartoon Network without all the violence. Basicly, The first super human from New Jersey goes to find his father in Tokyo. Great stuff. And watch for the hillarious Dubbing. Peace Out!
