  (14 reviews)
Best Price: $99.98
Since premiering in 1983, The Toxic Avenger has become a world famous icon, influencing independent filmmakers, environmentalists, and even Ralph Nader’s presidential campaign! Legions of fans around the world have followed the adventures of Tromaville's hideously-deformed hero of superhuman size and strength through four films, an animated feature and syndicated television series, comic books, action figures, and more! Now, Troma has packaged Toxie's first two decades of cinematic work together into the ultimate collectors' item: THE TOX BOX! The Tox Box contains fully loaded, totally uncut, digitally mastered DVD editions of The Toxic Avenger, The Toxic Avenger Part II, The Toxic Avenger III: The Last Temptation of Toxie and, available only as part of this exclusive boxed set, the Toxic Crusaders animated feature! From Tromaville to Japan to Hell itself and from live action to cartoon to international superstar, The Toxic Avenger and his fans will rejoice at the overwhelmingly entertaining delights contained in the Tox Box! A must for any collector of all things Toxie, The Tox Box offers endless hours of troma-riffic entertainment at its finest! Despite a roster of disreputable films that includes everything from Bloodsucking Freaks to Terror Firmer, Troma Films' crowning achievement remains its comic book tribute/parody The Toxic Avenger (1985) and its pair of 1989 sequels. The comedy/action/sci-fi effort, about a crime-fighting monster spawned from chemical sludge, is as proudly crude as Troma's other films, but also genuinely funny and competently directed by company chiefs Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz. The combination of slapstick and splatter helped earn the film the broadest audience recognition of any Troma film prior to Tromeo and Juliet––so much so, in fact, that several years later, the Toxic Avenger would be given his own Saturday morning cartoon. Troma's affection for Toxie is made abundantly clear with The Tox Box, a lavish (by the company's standards) four-disc package that contains the three features as well as four episodes of Toxic Crusaders, Toxie's animated adventures. Troma fanatics should note that that the discs for Toxic Avenger I and III are largely identical to versions that were released independently within the last few years, but the disc for Toxic Avenger II is a true "uncut" version (with more violence) that differs markedly from the previously released R-rated DVD. As with all Troma DVDs, each disc is packed with supplemental material, from Lloyd Kaufman's hilarious (and often unhinged) commentary to a wealth of excised scenes, trailers, and production stills. Toxic Crusaders even includes a pair of '40s-era serials in their entirety to fill out its scant running time. Cineastes may decry that lowbrow material such as this has been given the deluxe treatment, and even Toxie fans may wonder if this much Troma is good for their mental health, but DVD buyers must admit that The Tox Box is an embarrassment of riches. --Paul Gaita

ULTIMATE BOX SET
By A1NJLISY4ZWP7D on 2002-09-06
Someone under this has given this set ONE star for reasons of not having seen it!! I hope Amazon will delete this nonsense, because this gives people the wrong idea. This set is ESSENTIAL for every serious movie collector, everyone who likes to look a bit further than there noses are, everyone enjoying a good film, everyone with a sense of humor and everyone with something even remotely resembling some good taste. THE TOXIC AVENGER is one of the greatest creations in film history, his adventures in Lloyd Kaufman's films some of the most unique ever committed to cellulloid. This set contains the first three of Toxie's films PLUS a disc full of otherwise unavailable adventures of the animated spin-off THE TOXIC CRUSADERS, probably Troma's most successfull franchise to date. This fourth disc is worth the price of the set alone, add the other THREE films (and all of this loaded with extra's, as is Troma's custom) and this is the best buy on DVD of the millennium.
To get ready for the soon-to-be dvd-release of Lloyd Kaufman's ultimate masterpiece (and he has made quite a few) THE TOXIC AVENGER PART IV: CITIZEN TOXIE, the Tox Box is an essential MUST-buy. Forget all the prejudiced criticisms about Troma: it is one of the most innovative and original filmcompanies, and the longest in business of all independants. And still creating unique works of art.
Get this box - you won't regret it.
A Fun Movie
By A1Z0AKK4Y2TPZW on 2002-09-23
I agree with most of what Ton says about Toxic Avenger and the sequels.Is it a masterpiece? Yes! Is it a classic? Yeah! Is it a fun movie? Definately!! It's a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants movie that has cute chicks and off the wall violence. What more do you want in a popcorn movie? The sequels are just as fun to watch. Here's a synopsis I found on The Toxic Avenger Website:The Toxic Avenger is a thrilling, one-of-a-kind, action-packed film loaded with adventure, horror, science-fiction and unforgettable big-budget special effects. Welcome to Tromaville, New Jersey-a small American town, which is being terrorized by criminals while the town's corrupt mayor sits idly by. Muggers, robbers and teenage punks run rampant as the citizens are helplessly victimized. Among the residents of Tromaville is Melvin, a skinny, weak, wimp of a young man. Melvin is the janitor at the local health club, and as he goes about his daily menial tasks, he is forever teased, taunted and tormented by the strong, "beautiful" men and women of the club. That is, until Melvin becomes THE TOXIC AVENGER!!!!! A particularly nasty group of Melvin's tormentors devise a plot to embarrass and ridicule him in front of the whole town. As fate would have it, the "harmless" prank turns into a horrible accident as Melvin crashes through a third story window and lands in a vat of hazardous toxic chemicals. The rest, as they say, is history! As the toxic chemicals take hold of Melvin's body, a strange and wonderful transformation begins to take place. Through the magic of spectacular state-of-the-art special effects, Melvin the weakling turns into the huge, hulking "TOXIC AVENGER"-the first super-hero from New Jersey! The excitement is non-stop as this monstrous mess of mutated man sets out to single-handedly wipe out the forces of evil, which taint the town of Tromaville. THE TOXIC AVENGER is non-stop entertainment that will leave viewers glowing from the fun!
Copyright Troma, Inc. 2000 Thanks Troma and keep making those movies!! The Dude from Barbados has no right to write a review and rate the movie...he hasn't even seen the movie! How could you rate a movie one star? You haven't seen the bloody movie!! I find that somewhat disrespectful to the shoppers who haven't seen the movie and it's very disrespectful to those who have and love The Toxic Avenger. So next time, please do not rate and review a movie you have not seen. I do however sugest .. to get rid of his review and his stinking one star!
Good

This set contains four seperate dvd cases. The Unrated FULL edition of The Toxic avenger (great disc, see singular review), Toxic Avenger (Which, up to this point has been sorely lacking in violence and gore), Toxic Avenger 3 ( in amazing extras filled disc) and a dvd of the animated film Toxic Crusaders, basically four episodes of the old kids cartoon (based, incredibly, on the toxic avenger) stiched together. The last disc is suitable for anyone, whereas the others are extrememly gory.
All comes in lovely card box with lenticular 3d cover art.
(Although the editions of Toxie 1,2,3 look like the independant releases, they are new editions exclusive to the boxset, with all the old stuff and a li'l bit more
Famous Troma Movies!Well Done!

The Toxic Avenger, the crown jewel of Tromaville Productions. Melvin certainly has come a long way. From a hot blind girlfriend at the dump (Who does her makeup anyway?), to Japan and cooking villians in the bathhouse. The Toxic Avenger is a dynamite, soul brother, action adventure for the whole family. Seriously, what other movie has a leotard wearing freak pointing a double barreled shotgun at a baby? Or a chick masturbating to pictues of bodies her boyfriend ran over? How do you fight with fish? Can you windsail from New Jersey to Japan? How many people can Toxie fight at once? All these and many more questions are answered. Buy this now or live a miserable and empty life.
- Im moveing to tromaville !
By A2SBIW0FROYND8 on 2004-07-16
let me start by saying i orderd the tox box withought seeing any of the movies. was i naive ? sure i was ! the way i seen it was , theres no way they cant be wonderful . was i wrong ? NOPE ! the movies are great. the sequals are in my opinion , alot better than people have been saying , there fun ! the toxic crusaders dvd is very cool to watch . i dont remember the show cause i was 3 in 1991. not only did the tox box open the doors to how great toxie is it revealed the wonderful world of TROMA. it apeares oveous that Lloyd Kaufman and the rest of the staff at troma put there heart and soul into makeing some great dvds for the fans .
- A must for all Troma fans
By AZA3MGTB1D20 on 2002-10-06
The Toxic Avenger 1 is one of the greatest movies ever made.
The uncut version of Toxic Avenger 2 is worth the money for it alone because the "Unrated Directors Cut" sold seperatly was, in reality, the R-rated version and sucked.
Toxic 3 wasn't that good, but it had an exellent begining and ending (the middle is pure bordom.)
Toxic Crusaders was a childrens movie and is basically the first four episodes of the TV series.This set is essential to all fans of Troma movies.
- Well worth the price of admission for a fan.
By A37GTE7FVDZ2LU on 2003-01-27
This box-set is a really good deal, considering what you get: TOXIC AVENGER, TOXIC AVENGER 2, TOXIC AVENGER 3, and TOXIC CRUSADER THE MOVIE ....)
This set would get a 5 if it weren't for the stereotypical cartoon(an above average show, but nothing special) and the "me-too" TOXIC AVENGER 2. That said, The first and third movies are great films, funny and sharp, and Troma's DVD extras are the best in the DVD market, so that more than makes up for it. ...
- Original is excellent, the rest are horrible.
By A2PAYZ5JE37NZE on 2005-09-12
To be brief, the original movie is an excellent classic for all to enjoy. The other 2 aren't worth speaking of. I couldn't even watch more than 15 minutes of part3. This movie was almost as bad as Van Helsing.
- Toxic Avenger rules!!!
By A2T25Y89Q15N3T on 2002-12-25
Well to start off this box set is wonderful. I have seen the films on vhs when I was 12 or 13. I have seen Toxic Avenger 3 when I was 16. So it has been awhile. I know my parents bought the box set for me for Christmas. If you have not seen any of these films do so by watching The Toxic Avenger first. I also remember watching the cartoon series. It is a good show it still is. I used to have some of the action figures somewhere but lost them. There was also a new Toxie movie coming out March 18 2003 so that would be a kick ass movie. All in all the Tox Box is a really good set to have. Toxie rules!!!
