!!The only way to know if you got the UNCUT version is if you watch the first 10 minutes of the movie and when the first guy in the movie to get killed by Toxie (The Toxic Avenger). When he is put into the wheelchair and his body is squeezed together and his stomack explodes and tons of blood and organs come out and toxie then throughs him into a bush! Or you could just tell by the front and back of your DVD box. The CUT version says in the middle of the front of the box, "The UNRATED DIRECTOR'S CUT". The UNCUT version does not except for in the top left corner of the front of the DVD box. Also the BACK of two DVD boxes are completly different! The UNCUT version is like the Toxic Avenger part 3 box.

The Toxic Avenger part 2 (1989)- Toxie's mean, green, and back on the screen! Melvin Junko was a nerdy 98 lb. weakling until he fell into a vat of toxic waste, turning him into the first ever superhero from New Jersey. This time the hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength takes on Tokyo. The Toxic Avenger Part II is a spectacular sequel with even more ingenious special effects, even more bizarre action, and even more unbelievably fabulous fight scenes. He's come a long way from Tromaville, baby!

Is it in this one or the first one that he finds a wife? Can it happen to a nicer guy all in one video! Toxi has a wife who is buxom, beautiful and blind, but she doesn't care because she loves him as he fights crime and drinks drano. (Sometimes it gives him a little gas. 'Die sonne sheint...')
If you have the first Toxic avenger, go for the gold and get the sequel. If you're not sorry you bought it the first time, you won't be this time around either.

I saw toxie 1 and thought it was the best then I rented part 2 hopeing it would be as good not a chance.First toxies face looked better in the first and his arms didnt look bubbly just white.Also what happend to all the mindless gore instead they have cartoon violence.The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the voice sounds better then in the first one and when he was on the toilet.

A fairly good Sequel that has our toxie going to Japan to find his father and then return home to battle the evil Apocalpyse Inc. Not as good as the original but still worth rental fee. This one is toned down a lot more than the original so most of the blood and gore is absent from this film but other than that its a very entertaining movie that is worth a view or two

This is the funniest of the Toxic Avenger movies, with moments of truly high hilarity. The oddball hijinx will have you groaning, chuckling, and bellylaughing by turns. Toxie has a girlfriend in this one, and he travels to Japan in search of his father. His girlfriend is played by New-York-City-performance-artist-and Underground-Diva Phoebe Legere, who is over the top to begin with, and who here goes way over the top in her performance. Her rendition of "Amazing Grace" on the soundtrack behind a Sumo wrestling montage ranks among the glories of cinematic history. If you're in the mood for comedy that's raw and raucous and offbeat and silly, this is the movie for you!

PLOT:
Toxie is back one again, but he's rid Tromaville of all its crime so he is bored and depressed. Meanwhile the bad guys have devised a plan to rid Troma of Toxie by sending him to Japan to meet his father. While Toxie is away, the bad guys come out to play and take over the city. Will Toxie return from Japan in time to save the day? Well, duh, how else would it spawn 2 more sequels!?

Review
TA is a dark comedy full of action, horror and comedy that will not be accepted by people who take things too seriously. It is an over the top, cult style film. It's a breath of fresh air to have a movie with actors who aren't trying to steal the spotlight, or use the film as a stepping-stone to further there acting credibility for future reference. This movie would never win any academy award. But that's what we love about because we hate the academy awards anyway. Toxie is just a great movie of the little guy that was always pushed around finds himself in a situation that leads to him finishing on top...and also some wacky, gross, disgusting, silly, over drawn, ridicules things along the way. It's a fun movie but not something to sit down with grandma to watch.

The directors cut version is awsome. For those fans of the original who said part 2 was not as good, then I suggest you check out this DC version. Scenes where cut from both the R-Rated version and the Directoes Cut released last time. This time they actualy have got the directors cut, the last version wasnt, this time it has the blood and gore back in it and it makes the film great. The violence in the opening scene at the blind house has been put back in, and when Toxie destroys a crippled henchmen, it is just as good as the headcrushing scene of TA1! This time around it should satisfy the fans who didnt like the second one for not being gorey or voilent enough.

DVD
Finally I was able to sit down, kick back and relax and watch the Toxic Avenger clearly and as a bonus, uncut. I've had the first 3 Toxies on VHS for years, but the videos where bad quality, warn out and the image was always rolling and fading, the sound was dropping in and out... so even tho I've been a fan of Toxie for years, I felt like I was watching it for the first time.

The quality isn't super great, there is still speckles here and there, but it's clear enough not to worry about it, they polished it up as best they could and you'll only see the dust speckles if your purposely looking for them.

The sound wasn't surround sound, but it didn't matter, least it was clear and loud enough to understand what was being said.

Bonus Features
Like many of the Troma DVD's, TA2 is packed with great bonus features..
- Interviews - There is heaps of interviews with Lloyd Kaufman (Producer/President of Troma) & Mitch Cohen (Toxic Avenger) plus many more of the actors and directors.
- Commentary - Interesting
- Intro to the movie by Lloyd
- Cartoon of Toxie's Birthday party.
- Plus a heap more stuff and regular things you find on every Troma DVD like the tour of Troma, and how to make a movie things etc.


Cons:
- A lot of the bonus features look like where recorded off a VHS, but who cares, there only bonus features, the movie is fine.
- No subtitles -
- no out-takes, gag-reel, bloopers.
- No deleted scenes -
- Menus are a bit confusing to navigate -

As you can see, the positive weighs down the negatives enough to show that Troma has once again presented a great movie with a great DVD package.

How do Troma have the nerve to sell this as the Director's Cut? It's missing most of the gore, violence and comedy that can be found in the true uncut version available in Japan. Troma always cram their DVDs with extras, some of them quite good, but that doesn't make up for ripping customers off with a useless version of one of their better films.

This movie is only good because it has the spectacular Phoebe Legere in it. She is the star. Where is her name? She is gorgeous, she is a true comedienne in the tradition of Groucho and Chaplin, and she even plays accordion while acting up a storm.

For the movie can't give a full review havent watched it yet but As far as I can tell everythings there disk in great shape and I'm sure the movies in good shape like usual if I dont write another feedback on the product then you get what you payed for . But If I am for some reason don't get what it says or promised then yeah I write another review for the complaint but as far as i know I had a friend own this so I know what to expect and you get what it says.
