Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV was released in 2001 by Troma Entertainment. This independent film sequel to the original hit film The Toxic Avenger was created to help reboot the franchise after the financial demise of Troma Entertainment. The Toxic Avenger is Troma's mascot and the hope was to cash in on the notoriety of the character among die-hard cult movie fans. Despite the film's ambitions, the film was generally ignored by the public and received mixed to low reviews from the critics, with Jonathan Foreman of the New York Post reporting that, "Laughs are few and far between, and the film feels brutally long."[1] The film is available in an unrated version on the DVD.

[edit] Plot
After the events of the Toxic Avenger III, when the notorious Diaper Mafia take hostage the Tromaville School for the Very Special, only the Toxic Avenger and his morbidly obese sidekick Lardass can save Tromaville. However, an explosion results in some unforeseeable consequences, creating a dimensional tear between Tromaville and its dimensional mirror image, Amortville. While the Toxic Avenger (Toxie) is trapped in Amortville, Tromaville comes under the control of the superhuman powered hero's evil doppelgänger, the Noxious Offender (Noxie).
