Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV is a 2000 American superhero comedy film released by Troma Entertainment, directed by Lloyd Kaufman. The film is a sequel to the 1985 film The Toxic Avenger.

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).

References to real-life events

Many issues are tackled in this film. Neo-Nazism and abortion are present in the film, as well as references to the dragging of a black man in Texas and the Columbine High School massacre. Furthermore, the terrorist group at the beginning of the film is called the Diaper Mafia, in reference to the real-life Trenchcoat Mafia, a high school clique that the two Columbine shooters were believed to be part-time members of.

The film premiered in the United States shortly following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Most mainstream film companies that featured the World Trade Center underwent additional editing to avoid distress. Kaufman chose to leave the World Trade Center in the final cut of the film, arguing that most viewers would be able to see the Twin Towers without being distressed.

Deleted scenes

Scenes featuring Hugh Hefner as the President of the United States were cut from the film prior to its theatrical release. This is mentioned by Kaufman in the commentary for the film.^{[citation needed]}
