You may have seen The Toxic Avenger Part II and The Toxic Avenger Part III before, but never like this.
The sequels were originally written and shot as one movie, but directors Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz ended up with so much footage that they broke it up into two installments.
36 years later, the initial vision for the sequel has been reconstructed under its original title, Mr. Melvin. Watch the exclusive trailer below.
The 127-minute movie will premiere as part of Troma-Thon 2025 at the Mahoning Drive-In Theater in Lehighton, PA on July 18-19, followed by a screening at Popcorn Frights Film Festival in Fort Lauderdale, FL on August 8.
The filmmakers gave Andrew L. Miller, Kaufman’s assistant, and Adam Peltier, star of Troma’s upcoming film The Power of Positive Murder, their blessing to edit the two sequels together from the recently unearthed original script.
Toxie actor Ron Fazio provides new voiceover for Mr. Melvin. The film also features new opening and end credits by Chris Lanphear, who also handled the graphics in the trailer.
After ridding Tromaville of evil, Melvin Junko, the Toxic Avenger, has nothing left to fight. Evil has been vanquished, his mop is clean, and his heart feels… empty. Depressed and emotionally adrift, a psychiatrist with questionable motives encourages him to reconnect with his long-lost father in Japan. But this heartfelt journey is merely a charade, as Apocalypse Inc. lures Toxie overseas in order to blast him with Anti-Tromatons, corrupting his superhuman senses.
Blinded to the forces of evil, Toxie returns home and becomes a corporate puppet for infernal forces bent on enslaving Tromaville… and the world! Can the Toxic Avenger reclaim his soul and save Tromaville once again, or is the hero of the people doomed to become the very monster he always feared?
Fazio stars alongside Phoebe Legere, John Altamura, Rick Collins, Lisa Gaye, Rikiya Yasuoka, Tsutomu Sekine, Shinoburyû, Mayako Katsuragi, Jessica Dublin, and Michael J. Kaplan.
