Review of The Toxic Avenger Part II (1989) by Tim S — 07 Jan 2014
The Toxic Avenger Part II, more or less, picks up where the last movie left off. Some time has passed in Tromaville, and crime seems to be a thing of the past. With the Toxic Avenger having cleaned up the streets, everything is serene.
That is, until an evil corporation hell-bent on creating havoc and crime in the world comes to Tromaville, making things bad for Toxie. He leaves the U.S. for Japan in search of his long-lost father, only to be thwarted by crime lords.
And that's about it for the plot, other than his blind girlfriend returning for more hijinks. While the movie isn't quite as good as the first movie, they really piled on the gore for the sequel.
This is one of the goriest movies I've ever seen, and I say that with a smile on my face. Look no further than the fishmonger scene when the guy dices up another guy's leg like it's a dead fish.
It's a fun movie, like the last one, but if you're not up for broad humor, nudity and gore, then you might want to steer clear of not just this, but all entries in the Toxic Avenger series (and anything made my Troma, in general).
They are definitely not masterpieces of filmmaking or anything. That's for sure.
