Trivia:

Rick Collins said that during production, three child extras were scared of him in the Devil make up. When he convinced the first two children that it was only make up and even offered for them to feel it, they did and were no longer scared. However, when the third child tried to feel it, he did the Devil's scream and since then, he has admitted he felt bad about doing it.

Quotes:

That Thing Actually Wore a Suit.

Yet another disgusting installment in the awful series has the titled character (Ron Fazio and John Altamura splitting time in the part) finally ridding the world of crime and pollution forever (we could use this guy in real life). All seems great, but naturally the Avenger is getting bored. Things look up when he is approached to work for an environmental company, but needless to say their motives are not as squeaky clean as they seem. Bottom-of-the-barrel trash that was rushed out as soon as "The Toxic Avenger, Part II" fizzled away. Wants to be a parody of Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ", but cannot even do that. Comparing The Toxic Avenger to Christ is like comparing this waste of film to "Gone With the Wind". Turkey (0 stars out of 5).
