Essential Bookend Box of Brilliance!!, Sep 5 2006
By Ton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Toxic Avenger (7-Disc DVD Box Set) (DVD)
All episodes of the rare and impossible to find Toxic Crusaders TV series are featured in this 7-disc set. Only 4 have been previously released on DVD and getting the entire 13 episodes alone is worth the very affordable price of this set.
But, apart from that, of course the director's cut versions of the four classic Toxic Avenger films are included as well, along with the feature length documentary "Apocalypse Soon: The Making of Citizen Toxie", making this the most complete, affordable and essential set of any great filmfranchise.
You may have one or more of Toxies films already, and to be honest, without at least the first one no collection of important horror films can be taken seriously. (You might even, and possibly mistakenly, have picked up the R-rated version of the best film in the batch: Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger part IV".) But in any case you do yourself a big favour buying this box-set. Even if you are lucky enough to already own the (now discontinued) Tox Box you should get this new released COMPLETE TOXIC AVENGER set, not only because of the low price the complete Toxic Crusaders series and the Unrated Director's Cut versions of all included titles, but also because you could use bot boxes as beautiful bookends to mark your collection of Troma-films. And one simply can't have too much of Lloyd Kaufman's unique creation.
Don't forget to also read the unputdownable "The Toxic Avenger: The Novel", by the infatiguable Lloyd Kaufman and Adam Jahnke.

Toxic 2 is R-Rated version!, May 26 2008

Great box set - nicey packaged and at a reasonable price.My only gripe is that toxic 2 is the R-rated version and is missing many scenes of extreme gore which helped make up for the weakness of the sequel.Even Kaufman points out that this is the cesored version in the audio commentary.A shame that the UNRATED description as pointed out by amazon is a lie.BEWARE!!
