The Toxic Avenger III: The Last Temptation of Toxie (1989), dir. Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, Troma Entertainment
Nearing the end, and the last Toxie film for a good while.
Since the last film, the Toxic Avenger (John Altamura and Ron Fazio) has been in a funk. Sure, he finally found his real dad, but Apocalypse Inc. is still running wild. Toxie tries to find a real job, but he strikes out, plus his girlfriend Claire (Phobe Legere) is still blind.
There's hope for that last one though, as a doctor swears he can perform an operation that would cure her. All he needs is $347,000.
Despondent, Toxie is at the end of his rope when the Chairman (Rick Collins) offers Toxie a job as a spokesman for Apocalypse Inc. Desperate, Toxie takes the job and son becames...a yuppie!
Toxie has a dark night of soul but when he sees the kids of Tromaville kicking his poster, well, that was the fire Toxie needed! He goes and finds a group of Apocalypse thugs menacing a video store. He swiftly kills them all and sets his sights on the Chairman.
Will Toxie stop the evil corporation in time? Will Claire be cured? What are the Five Levels of Doom?
Yeah, if part 2 didn't set your soul on fire, this one would put it out. It feels more like they took the last twenty minutes from the last film and released it, yet it feels every bit of its running time. Just loud and dumb and not in a good way.
