Solid Troma Gold
15 July 2003
Now although I'm not strictly a comedy fan, I couldn't stop laughing when I watched Citizen Toxie. Call me immature but this was exactly what I was looking for. Something trashy you can watch at any time without committing your attention too much. The random breast shots will grab it back anyway. This film had everything a true Troma classic should - gore, nudity and toilet humour all mixed together with a classic trashy cult. I mean, any film that isn't a porno and features Ron Jeremy has to be brilliant, admit it. This is the path Wes Craven should have taken when he was making Scream - forget slick cinematic techniques and subtle takes on slasher flicks, The Toxic Avenger Part 4 ripped it out of about every film imaginable so explicitly that you couldn't help but laugh. Hard. It even went for a crazy twist ending too, but wasn't as successful as more serious films. If you're looking for something cheap, trashy, non-committing and better than The Toxic Avenger parts 2 and 3, this is the film for you. It's not too long and won't take up too much of your time, and you'll be recalling lines and situations weeks after seeing it.
