The second chapter of the Toxic Avenger looks like one of those tearjerker TV programs, where someone finds a lost relative. Melvin was abandoned by his father when he was very young and as we know, he has become a hero by chance thanks to a barrel of toxic waste. He cleans Tromaville from crime and makes it a beautiful city, happy and safe. And then he goes to Japan in search of his father.
Not that the Troma have changed ideas and turned the green hero in a sweet melodrama. Because in reality this meeting with his father is a skilled plan of the Apocalypse Inc. who wants to get hands on the city and wants to be sure that our hero leave for to Japan to search for his missing relative. It's clearly a trap, and the father is none other than a drug dealer of cocaine, responsible among other things from the Apocalypse Inc. to destroy the super powers of Toxie thanks to anti-tromatons. Meanwhile in Tromaville crime rules. But no problem, Toxie returns just in time to save his beloved city.
The unmistakable style of Troma emerges in its entire splendor. Craziness, poor production, splatter scenes and some tits coming out here and there. More trash and less interesting than the first, the second Toxic Avenger is remarkable for the excessive length of the fight scenes and a plot even more ridiculous. But nevertheless it remains a chapter enjoyable and fun, at the height of the best (read worse) production of the Long Island Company.
 
Colossal flop at the cinema in a period that was obviously not yet ripe for the consecration of the Toxic Avenger. The rise in "scult" arrives after years, relentless and powerful, thanks to the boom of the production company, but also to a cameo of the Japanese cartoonist Go Nagai and martial arts actor Michael Jai White rather known in America by fans of the genre .
See the full Toxic Avenger II movie is a tough mission. The "uncut" versions seem to be two, one present in the "Tox Box" and the other seems in the "Complete Toxic Avenger" a titanic work that includes seven DVDs. How to tell if your DVD is "good"? Quite simply if there is a Lloyd Kaufmann introduction  that tells you this, you're in the right barrel.
