Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV premiered in New York City 25 years ago today, on November 2nd, 2001!
Unlike The Toxic Avenger's first two sequels, The Toxic Avenger Part II and The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie, which both received negative reviews, Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV received mixed reviews and as of this year, has a 64% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Despite being the third sequel to The Toxic Avenger, Stan Lee's opening narration claims that Citizen Toxie is, in fact, the official sequel to the first film, disacknowledging the events of the first two sequels.
Shortly after the release of Citizen Toxie, director Lloyd Kaufman announced a fifth entry titled Toxic Twins: The Toxic Avenger V, which would revolve around Toxie and Sarah's twins. As of 2025, Troma has not begun official production on the sequel, and it is unknown if the project will still happen with the recent release of the Toxic Avenger reboot.
