Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Having rid Tromaville of all evil, Toxie hangs out at the blind home with his visually-impaired bimbo girlfriend Claire - until the vengeful chairman of Apocalypse Inc, purveyors of toxic waste, trashes the home and lures our hero to Japan, to be reunited with his long-lost 'father'. Discovering that dad is a loathsome drug dealer, Toxie suffers an Oedipal crisis. Meanwhile, the toxic revengers terrorise the Tromavillians and turn their town back into a radioactive dump. An unimaginative re-run of Part I, minus the high school nerd comedy and chronic bad taste, plus some irrelevant Japanese footage. Puerile garbage with a memory half-life of about ten seconds.Author: NF
