Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHugh Hefner was originally going to be in the Tromadu segment. A shot of him saying, "Only the Toxic Avenger knows for sure!" appears in the original teaser trailer. Unfortunately, a cease-and-desist order from Hefner's lawyers forced Troma to remove any and all visual depictions of him from both their advertising and the final film. By all accounts, Hefner himself was initially fine with being in the film, but his lawyers convinced him he was unfairly coerced into being in the movie. Because of this, during the "Special Thanks To" sequence of the final credits, there's a special "No thanks to Hugh Hefner, who asked to be cut out of this film" credit.
- GoofsWhen Toxie and Evil Kabukiman crash their car and it flips, the car comes down and appears to be landing sideways. But in the next shot, it's shown landing straight.
- Quotes
Evil Kabukiman: [to Claire] You read sign language don't you? Well read this!
[slaps her]
- Crazy creditsFilm Fact: Did you know that in Pilipino (based on Tagalog), the native language of the Phillippines, the phonetic translation of "The Toxic Avenger" is "where are you going with my goat?"
- Alternate versionsThe "R" rated version is heavily cut missing almost all of the gore and sexual content.

Featured review
Its always a problem to review a Troma movie. Troma is a genre unto itself, and you can't compare their movies to what everyone else is doing. They have their own rules and esthetics... and going by those, this is the best film to come out of Troma in years!
Without doubt, this is the most over-the-top, all-out assault on good taste Troma's put out. They even had the good idea to include an apology for Toxic Avenger Parts II & III. The movie is overloaded with gore, sex, breasts, political incorrectness, breasts, sex, lesbians, transsexuals, mutant superheroes... and did I mention sex, breasts and gore?
Yes, it has no socially redeeming value whatsoever. Its Troma. It's not supposed to. If you're a Troma fan, see it. If you're not, you probably won't like it. Unless you do.
The screening I saw was just this past weekend at the Renegade Film Festival in St. Petersburg, FL. The copy was an advanced screening, and according to the festival promoters the editing on the film was completed just in time for the festival, so I don't know how people were seeing this months ago or why the date listed is 1999 on here...
