Each film is presented in its original aspect ratio in HDR.
This upgrade to 4K brings out the gritty, gory charm of the series like never before. Lloyd Kaufman, the creative genius behind he franchise, provides new introductions for each film, adding a personal touch that fans will undoubtedly appreciate. Optional English subtitles are available for those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
The TOXSET offers a range of bonus features that delve deep into the world of Toxie.
Fans can enjoy prologues by Director Lloyd Kaufman and audio commentaries with cast members and the director himself. Interviews with cast members, behind-the-scenes photo galleries, and featurettes like “Mark Torgl Talks About The Toxic Avenger” provide a comprehensive look at the making of these cult classics.
The collection also includes various other gems. It features mockumentaries, Japanese news reports on the filming of The Toxic Avenger Part II, short films directed by Lloyd Kaufman, and TROMA infomercials. The most exciting aspect of the TOXSET is the inclusion of the unrated director’s cuts of each film. These versions offer the purest, most unfiltered Toxic Avenger experience.
The Toxic Avenger Collection in 4K doesn’t just celebrate the films but also pays homage to the enduring legacy of Toxie. With a comprehensive selection of bonus features, this limited edition set is a true collector’s item. And, as Lloyd Kaufman humorously suggests, with the creator approaching his seventies, this collection could appreciate in value over time, making it an investment for dedicated fans. So, if you’re a fan of the grotesque, absurd, and outrageously entertaining world of The Toxic Avenger, the TOXSET in 4K is your ticket to a Tromarific experience that you won’t want to miss.
