Trivia
Hugh Hefner was originally going to be in the Tromadu segment. A shot of him saying, "Only the Toxic Avenger knows for sure!" appears 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, who asked to be cut out of this film" credit.

Goofs
When Toxie and Evil Kabukiman crash their car and it flips, the car comes down and appears to be landing sideways. But in the next shot, it's shown landing straight.

Quotes
Evil Kabukiman: [to Claire] You read sign language don't you? Well read this!
[slaps her]
Evil Kabukiman: .

Crazy credits
Film Fact: Did you know that in Pilipino (based on Tagalog), the native language of the Phillippines, the phonetic translation of "The Toxic Avenger" is "where are you going with my goat?"

Alternate versions
The "R" rated version is heavily cut missing almost all of the gore and sexual content.

Edited from Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. (1990)

It IS what it IS and knows it...

I tried to visualize what a story meeting for this would be like.

"Let's think of everything you CANNOT put in a movie these days...and DO IT!" (applause and agreement) However extreme your humor tastes might be...this will STILL make you squirm. This makes TEAM America look like Davey and Goliath.

If you have a total, annoying, political correctness extremist acquaintance, you can exact a satisfying revenge by screening this for him or her that might put an end to your relationship. And, be sure to read through the final credits. Perhaps the most creative laugh is contained therein (look for "famous movie lines").

Any film that casts Ron Jeremy as a religious town mayor must be worth a look. I hope Troma stays well. There's room for their brand of humor. Without extremes, we'd never know where the "middle" is.
