The Toxic Avenger, Part II
Although "clever" isn't the first word that leaps to mind when  describing Troma Films'Toxic Avengerseries, the sequel to their 1985  hit has enough laugh-out-loud gags (amidst a barrage of slapstick and bodily  function jokes) that should tickle the funny bones of veteran and novice Troma  viewers alike.The Toxic Avenger, Part IIfinds the chemically altered  crime fighter depressed about the lack of evil in his hometown of Tromaville.  That situation is quickly reversed by the appearance of the dastardly  Apocalypse, Inc., which sends Toxie to Japan after his long-lost father while  they plan to transform Tromaville into a toxic waste dump. Longtime Troma fans  might feel let down by the subdued levels of gore and gross-out humor found inPart II(which is possibly due to the participation of television  production company Lorimar Films). But the zest with which director/Troma  co-chieftain Lloyd Kaufman delivers his lowbrow laughs should allay any cult fan's  concerns.--Paul Gaita
