With no crime left to fight in Tromaville, The Toxic Avenger is forced to find a day job in order to make ends meet, but there is only one company willing to hire a hideously deformed creature of super-human size and strength, and that's Apocalypse, Inc., Toxie's arch-nemesis! Toxie unwittingly becomes a pawn of corporate greed and corruption, turning his back on Tromaville when they need him the most! THE TOXIC AVENGER PART III starts off with a bang as Toxie mops up a group of criminals that are trying to replace all of the Independent films in a local video store with mainstream fodder as the patrons plea with them to let them keep their Troma movies. It is one of Troma's shining moments in the series, but it is all downhill from there. The anti-corporate message wares thin quickly, but something just seems missing the entire time... Mainly the over-the-top comedy and absurd gore, both of which have disappeared throughout most of the picture. Ron Fazio and Phoebe Legere are always entertaining as Toxie and Claire, and the snarling antics of Rick Collins' Chairman do make for a fun performance. In reality, THE TOXIC AVENGER PART III is a hackneyed cut and paste job using all of the left over footage from THE TOXIC AVENGER PART II, leaving the third film out as a festering barrel of toxic sludge. As a result, the final half becomes dreadfully boring due to the seemingly endless battle against Apocalypse, Inc. Savor what few laughs you can from the blindsploitation, churchsploitation, and schoolbusploitation or forget that this entry ever existed.
Rating: 4/10.
