The standard anti nuclear power themes of horror films are played out in traditional, and in its own tradition ever-worsening Team Troma style. After achieving the climax of the "Toxic Avenger", these cheap slapstick movies have taken a hideous nosedive, insulting "Avenger's" silly originality with the monotonous sequels, which continues in the brutally irritating and boring sequel to this lame effort. For interested parties, plenty of heavy metal, punks, and motorcycles, the former and latter canonized horror no-nos. The toxic creature is pretty well done in an "Aliens" retread way. Despite some decent ham acting by R. I. Ryan as Peelie, much of the "over-the-top" acting, is too much to be amusing or anything else but agonizing. It seems as though the directors and writers, such as they were, lost their way a number of times, for example as Warren only turns into the avenging monster once and soon is back to normal. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Plot Summary</U></B><B>: New York. The Tromaville Nuclear Utility. We zero in on the nuclear waste bins. A line bursts, setting off alarms and sending workers in protective suits scurrying. The manager, Peelie, insists that they not shut down in order to avoid investigations. A little scrubbing and everything will be fine. However, at the local school, a green slime has collected near a gutter. A nerdy student, Dewey Smart, bends over a water fountain and gets a dark green mouthful. Principle Westly announces a routine nuclear drill. As the students line up, Dewey begins vomiting green fluids and striking the students before leaping out a window. He dissolves before the students' eyes. Peelie reports that it wasn't the reactor but rather the fact that Dewey had two microwaves at home. Meanwhile, students at the high school continue to get splattered by green slime. People are wondering about Mrs. Brooks' losing her hair. The students do seem to be acting up, honor students wearing punk drag and intimidating the "geeks". The obvious next thing is to have a bake sale. After "the cretins" smash things up, one of their number goes to pick up some "weed" from the power plant. It's become apparent why these kids are no longer honor society. It is remarkable how fast the marijuana grows. The students buy a joint for the upcoming frat party. At the party, the kids pass the "atomic joint" around and pretty soon the virginal Chrissy starts to feel the effects and drags the equally virginal Warren into bed upstairs at the party. That night, Warren starts to transform into a corroded, muscle bound monster with a seven foot long member while Chrissy not only is pregnant but that very night something emerges from her swollen belly...But it's only an hallucination. The next day both Warren and Chrissy are feeling pretty sick. Back home, as Warren walks by the electrical appliances, they all go on by themselves. As the cretins beat up a woman for her pocket book, Warren, looking very much the toxic avenger beats the cretins, killing two of them. Meanwhile, Chrissy is feeling effects as well as her abdomen swells horribly. Something then comes up through her throat and swims in the toilet bowl. Chrissy is taken to the emergency room. (Where we hear the call for Doctor Fine and Doctor Howard). The doctor claims that Chrissy was nine months pregnant. Chrissy's progeny is flushed down the toilet but ends up in a toxic vat. Warren has since returned to normal, and his next run in with the cretins doesn't go as well. They are thrown out of the school for fighting as they break out into a rousing chorus of the star spangled banner. Back at the reactor, the workers are falling like flies in spite of their protective suits. The Geiger counters are starting to go off the scale all over the school. One of the testers sits down for a moment and is attacked by Chrissy's progeny now grown to man eating size. The cretins are angry at Warren for getting them kicked out of school. They go to the school and kidnap Chrissy. The cretins announce a nuclear evacuation and thus are the only ones left in the school. Warren is given Chrissy's necklace and he rushes in to save her. Things degenerate into the cretins riding down the halls in motorcycles engaging in random vandalism. Just as things look bad for Chrissy, her progeny rises from a waste bin to save the day. Peelie has since been notified and shows up to check out the problem. As we can imagine, the villains are eliminated one by one.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
