The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie (1989)

By now, the violence in these movies has become commonplace. Toxie skips rope with a guy’s bloody intestines, that sort of thing. This time, our hero is forced to work for the Man as he turns into a yuppie asshole. The good citizens of Tromaville are repulsed by this transformation, and he has to prove his worth against the evil Apocalypse organization. I’ll say it again, continuity is not Troma’s strong suit. What’s funny to me about these movies is that they spawned an animated series for kids dubbed Toxic Crusaders. Can you imagine a kid seeing one of the Toxic Avengers in the video store, thinking it’s some good ol’ wholesome family fun, and becoming traumatized for life? I’m sure it must have happened.
