Leofwine_draca Review of The Toxic Avenger Part II

The Toxic Avenger Part II (1989)

Cheap, goofy, action-packed, and very gruesome

[6/10 · 30 August 2017]

THE TOXIC AVENGER PART II is Troma's energetic follow-up to the first movie, which itself was something of a cult hit. I found this more enjoyable in some cases, because it does away with the stupidity of plotting and instead focuses on dishing up B-movie ingredient after B-movie ingredient. There are cheesy one-liners, lots of bad, over the top acting, and endless action sequences as Toxie beats up one goofy henchman after another. The gore is plentiful, cheap, and splashes about all over the place, and the special effects are endearingly bad. The shift of milieu to Japan makes for some interesting situations. You know, I think this might just be the best of the four-part TOXIC AVENGER series.
