Troma Entertainment's production, titled 'Citizen Toxie', exemplifies its characteristic filth, offensive content, and immorality at its peak.
Get ready for a wild ride as the fourth installment of Troma's Toxic Avenger series, Citizen Toxie, is set to hit theaters on August 29. This film, directed and co-written by Lloyd Kaufman, is considered one of Troma's most ambitious and successful movies, known for its shocking, comedic, erotic, and surprising content.
The plot revolves around the Toxic Avenger (Toxie) and his sidekick Lardass trying to save Tromaville after the Diaper Mafia takes hostage the Tromaville School for the Very Special. However, an explosion opens a dimensional portal, trapping Toxie in an alternate dimension called Amortville, where his evil doppelganger, Noxious Offender (Noxie), takes control of Tromaville.
The storyline includes absurd and outrageous elements, such as Toxie’s wife being pregnant with babies from two fathers and a rebellious teen character named Tito struggling to overcome his angst. The film features a large ensemble of quirky superhero characters, including Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD, Mad Cowboy, and others, alongside cameos from notable figures like Ron Jeremy and Lemmy.
Citizen Toxie is known for its equal-opportunity offensiveness and disregard for political correctness. It blends horror, comedy, and superhero tropes in a deliberately over-the-top and exaggerated manner, reflecting the unique Troma style of filmmaking. The movie is also famous for its unforgettable special effects and highly stylized gore that embody the film’s punk rock and cult humor aesthetic.
The film includes a black and white newsreel reminiscent of Citizen Kane, and several hapless Troma "superheroes" make an appearance. James Gunn, a well-known figure, appears in Citizen Toxie, doing a Stephen Hawking imitation. Lloyd Kaufman, Troma boss, recommends the fourth Toxic Avenger movie for a newly minted fan.
Toxie and Noxie face off using mops that sound like Star Wars lightsabers. The film features a plot propelling rapid-fire gags, including poop jokes, gratuitous nudity, outrageous gore, and exaggerated performances. Citizen Toxie deals with topics such as abortion, school shootings, and the environment.
