"The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie" was released in 1989 as the third installment in the cult favorite Toxic Avenger series by Troma Entertainment. Upon its release, the film received largely negative reviews from critics who found it tonally uneven and less impactful compared to its predecessors. Audiences were divided, with some fans appreciating the campy humor and over-the-top gore typical of Troma productions, while others viewed it as a weaker follow-up. Over the years, the film's reputation has evolved. It is now often regarded as a dated relic that reflects the specific low-budget, shock-driven style of late 1980s B-movies. Though it has not achieved the same cult classic status as the first Toxic Avenger film, it retains a niche following among fans of cult horror-comedy and Troma’s unique brand of cinema.
