Trivia for
Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV (2000) More at IMDbPro »

• The now classic stock footage of the car-flip stunt from Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. (1990) is used once again for this film. This footage has also been used for several other films including Terror Firmer (1999), and Tromeo and Juliet (1996).
  
  
• After Noxie ties Sarah up, he says "I want to have your abortion." A small tribute to a line that got cut from Fight Club (1999).
  
  
• Before the film's world premiere, a decision was made to leave the World Trade Center in the opening narration despite the 9/11 attacks taking place a month earlier. This decision was applauded by the crowd.
  
  
• Mitch Cohen, who played Toxie in the original The Toxic Avenger (1984), makes a cameo as a racist who is lynched by the KKK after Toxie gives him a blackface treatment with a car engine.
  
  
• Tromadu shots were filmed in the Playboy Mansion, and the black and white film clip of 'Tromadu' was an homage to the opening scene of Citizen Kane (1941).
  
  
• Celeste Octavia (Kinky Finkelstein's assistant) offered to do her role completely nude in exchange for one line in the film, where she asks the doctor if it's time to remove the thermometer from her butt.
  
  
• Hugh M. Hefner was originally going to be in the Tromadu segment. There was even a shot of him saying, "Only the Toxic Avenger knows for sure!" in the original teaser trailer. Unfortunately, a cease-and-desist order from Hefner's lawyers forced Troma to remove any and all visual depictions of him from both their advertising and the final film. By all accounts, Hefner himself was initially fine with being in the film, but his lawyers convinced him he was unfairly coerced into being in the movie. Because of this, during the "Special Thanks To" sequence of the final credits, there's a special "No thanks to Hugh Hefner's lawyers" credit.
  
  
• Thirty gallons of blood were used in the hospital scene.
  
  
• Tex Diaper, the leader of the Diaper Mafia, says in one scene, "Alright you fucking retards, drop your tacos or I'll blow your brains out!" - a reference to what Leroy said in The Toxic Avenger (1984) movie, which was "Alright everybody, drop your tacos or I'll blow your brains out!"
  
  
• David Mattey is 6'10", making him the tallest actor so far to play Toxie.
