‘Mr. Melvin’ Clip Cuts Together ‘Toxic Avenger Part II’ & ‘Part III;’ NYC Premiere This Friday [Exclusive]

As you probably know by now, Mr. Melvin reconstructs The Toxic Avenger Part II and The Toxic Avenger Part III into a single film based on directors Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz‘s original vision.

If you’re curious how that works, watch an exclusive clip below for a five-minute preview of the toxic mayhem that awaits.

Mr. Melvin will have its New York City premiere at the Museum of the Moving Image this Friday, November 7, followed by a Q&A with Kaufman.

It will also screen at The Broadside in New Orleans on November 13 and the Saskatoon Film Festival (alongside the original Toxic Avenger) in Saskatchewan, Canada, on November 25.

With the approval of Kaufman and Herz, Andrew L. Miller, Kaufman’s assistant, and Adam Peltier, star of Troma’s upcoming film The Power of Positive Murder, re-edited the Toxie sequels based on the original script.

In the 127-minute film, after ridding Tromaville of evil, Melvin Junko, the Toxic Avenger, has nothing left to fight. Evil has been vanquished, his mop is clean, and his heart feels… empty.

Depressed and emotionally adrift, a psychiatrist with questionable motives encourages him to reconnect with his long-lost father in Japan. But this heartfelt journey is merely a charade, as Apocalypse Inc. lures Toxie overseas in order to blast him with Anti-Tromatons, corrupting his superhuman senses.

Blinded to the forces of evil, Toxie returns home and becomes a corporate puppet for infernal forces bent on enslaving Tromaville… and the world! Can the Toxic Avenger reclaim his soul and save Tromaville once again, or is the hero of the people doomed to become the very monster he always feared?

Toxie actor Ron Fazio provides new voiceover for Mr. Melvin, which also stars Phoebe Legere, John Altamura, Rick Collins, Lisa Gaye, Rikiya Yasuoka, Tsutomu Sekine, Shinoburyû, Mayako Katsuragi, Jessica Dublin, and Michael J. Kaplan.

I wrote in my review, “Mr. Melvin is the superior way to experience Part II and Part III. Better paced and more palatable without sacrificing any of Troma’s signature eccentricities, it represents the best version of the sequels.”
