Take the art direction and set design from The Crow and Batman. Add a male-bonding element reminiscent of The Killer or Hard-Boiled. Stir in a plot line about some top-secret near-invincible bionic-man superwarriors taking over the drug trade in Hong Kong, with only one man who can stop them. Season with a high body count, lots of explosions and running gun battles, and spectacular hand-to-hand fight sequences. Top off with a soupçon of cheesy comic relief and a generous helping of atrocious dubbing. Bake for too long, then remove from oven and allow to cool until thoroughly stale. The result: Black Mask. Sure, it's a preposterous recipe (bet you didn't know that LED readouts will show up on an X-ray), but it's stylishly prepared and presented, with high-octane editing, wild camera angles, and a neo-Goth feel all around. Of course it's all about the remarkable Jet Li, the fight scenes, and the postindustrial art direction. Those who come expecting a high-concept, intelligent thriller will be left with indigestion, but Hong Kong action fans who live and die for insane stunts and head-spinning martial arts scenes will have their appetites sated by this dish. It's very interesting to see the influence that John Woo's hand continues to have on American and HK action thrillers, years after his seminal films with Chow Yun-fat. It'll be even more interesting to see how films like Black Mask hold up in the future. Just don't take it too seriously and this movie works just fine. Oh, and the title? It comes from when Jet Li switches from his mild-mannered librarian persona to butt-kicking superhero, complete with mask and hat à la The Green Hornet's Cato. --Jerry Renshaw

4 out of 5 stars Black Mask..........2006-12-21

I enjoyed Jet Li in this movie...never mind the dubbing, I can look past that and enjoy the move for what it is...fantasy/action. Four stars...

2 out of 5 stars Not Jet's worse, but man was that bad.......2006-07-08

Now obviously the new rap music and great american voices they put on make it as bad as possible. But then again, the movie certainly is no gem in it's original language version, that is for sure.

The whole movie had above average action sequences, but the story was unbearable. Not the story itself, but the execution of it is the worst possible. It goes from sickening moments to almost little kid parts between Jet and teh girl. Just freaking horrible.

So the dvd is full screened, music is stupid, voice dubbing is almost as bad as the "jet li collection" movies, but you will get a few good points one or two good laughs, and a decent finale.

3 out of 5 stars good action with a dash of plot........2006-05-23

First off, the action in this film is great. Jet Li can kick some major butt, and the scenes with him and Françoise Yip are very good.

The detective friend is funny, the dub is amusing, they went with a kind of Bogart vibe on the voice.

The dub for the girl Tracy is annoying... high pitched and whiney, but she's a plucky enough character to not be completely irredeemable.

All in all, good action movie, and Jet Li is pretty studly as the Black Mask. (although corrugated cardboard is not what I'd have pictured as good mask material)

4 out of 5 stars Hong Kong Superhero movie done good.......2006-03-10

I can’t remember ever seeing a superhero Hong Kong action movie. You would think it would be something obvious to do considering the dynamic action styling of Hong Kong action films. Sounds like a good idea? Well The Black Mask delivers on that idea. Combine insane stunt work and martial arts choreography along with a masked crime fighter and you get a superhero movie with action that will put Hollywood to shame.

As with many superhero movies the plot isn’t what you call complex or involved. It is just a simple super-villain-with-a-master-plan kind of affair here. The interesting thing about Black Mask is what they do in between the fight scenes and evil plots. You get a good look at the relationships between our hero and his friends and co-workers. Things like a fledgling romance and conflicts of interest with friends actually work here. After a bit of character development the plot thickens and the bullets start to fly. This isn’t high art on the script side, but then again if you shouldn’t be expecting that in the first place. Hong Kong action films aren’t known for gripping stories, just high-flying action. At least here you get a solid story, solid back story, with all the action goodness.

Okay lets get to the nitty gritty. The Black Mask is a martial arts film at its core, and I gotta tell you the martial arts rock. The choreography done in the fight scenes are not only tight but they are fast and furious. Jet Li definitely shows his stuff on this one along with a few other martial artists. It puts just about every fight scene from Hollywood to shame. This movie obviously pays homage to Bruce Lee’s Kato character from the Green Hornet television shows. The special effects do go crazy at times with all the explosions, blood and body parts flying around. Even crazier are seeing some things like colored smoke for no reason and Silly String (yes… Silly String). The English dubbing isn’t great, but to be honest it’s not any worse than your average foreign film dub.

Basically this movie is for action fans and fans of Hong Kong martial arts movies. It’s an entertaining blend of science fiction, police drama, kung fu and of course superhero genres that make this an enjoyable popcorn movie. Granted it’s not going to look polished for the average viewer, but if you like martial arts and cool superheroes I recommend The Black Mask.

5 out of 5 stars wow.......2005-10-10

i'm shocked that this movie is rated only three stars here on amazon. it might be the greatest action movie ever. it's one of jet li's finest. the action is unbelievably good.

Although "clever" isn't the first word that leaps to mind when describing Troma Films' Toxic Avenger series, the sequel to their 1985 hit has enough laugh-out-loud gags (amidst a barrage of slapstick and bodily function jokes) that should tickle the funny bones of veteran and novice Troma viewers alike. The Toxic Avenger, Part II finds the chemically altered crime fighter depressed about the lack of evil in his hometown of Tromaville. That situation is quickly reversed by the appearance of the dastardly Apocalypse, Inc., which sends Toxie to Japan after his long-lost father while they plan to transform Tromaville into a toxic waste dump. Longtime Troma fans might feel let down by the subdued levels of gore and gross-out humor found in Part II (which is possibly due to the participation of television production company Lorimar Films). But the zest with which director/Troma co-chieftain Lloyd Kaufman delivers his lowbrow laughs should allay any cult fan's concerns. --Paul Gaita

3 out of 5 stars Toxic Avenger Part II.......2007-06-02

First off all, the dvd of The Toxic Avenger Part II that you can buy individually, although labeled unrated directors cut is exactly the same as the R-Rated version that was originally released from Warner Bros on VHS.

Melvin, had destroyed all of the evil in Tromaville until Apocalypse Inc moves into town. Apocalypse Inc. wants to take over Tromaville, so they devise a plan to get the Toxic Avenger out of Tromaville long enough for them to take over the town. The Toxic Avenger is sent to Japan on a quest to find his father. In his absence the people of Tromaville have no choice but to do what the Apocalypse Inc want them to do. Of course once the Toxic Avenger returns he takes on the Apocalypse and runs them out of town. The Toxic Avenger Part II is nowhere as good as the original Toxic Avenger, but it is far from terrible. If you loved the first one you should at least like this one. 3 stars!

4 out of 5 stars Inferior to the original but good cheesy fun!.......2007-04-30

After the original movie, mutated superhuman hero Toxie (Ron Fazio) has been saving the town of Tromaville lately and works for the Tromaville home for the blind with a new girlfriend named Claire who's also blind. However the greedy chemical company known as "Apocalypse Inc." conducted by the evil chairman has plans to take over Tromaville as Toxie goes to Japan to find him. Over there he must find his long lost father that he hasn't seen in a long time, meanwhile Apocalypse Inc has taken control of Tromaville and it's bad news for Toxie, can he find his father so he can return to save Tromaville or will he fail?

Although inferior to the original cult horror action comedy classic, it still provides good laughs and nice splatter here. The acting is laughable as the usual Troma movie and so is the writing, what's missing is the original blind girlfriend Sarah from the first movie but suddenly they replaced the character with a new blind chick named Claire i dunno why and some of the charm that made the original a great horror comedy. Neverthless it's a funny movie but doesn't hold a candle to the first one and "Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger part 2" even though there are some nice hot chicks in this movie.

The DVD contains the unrated uncut version has good picture and sound with some good extras like introduction by Troma founder/Toxie creator Lloyd Kaufman, interactive tour of the Troma building, audio commentaries, Toxie 2 on Japanese TV clips, still gallery, trailers to this and other Troma releases and scenes of Tromaville Cafe.

3 out of 5 stars Not as Good fight scenes but still has the Gory parts........2006-05-23

I was eagerly excited when I rented this Film from the movie store. I was expecting more blood and gore than the first but was a bit upset that It didn't. The Toxic Avenger Part 2 had some very memorable scenes such as when Toxie turns a midget into a basketball, pulls a guy's both arms off with his mop, crushes a guy with a wheelchair, burns a Japanese guys nose into the shape of a fish, makes ramen noodles from a fat Tokyo thug, kills a ninja with a starfish, cuts another ninja in half with a bush whacker while he cut's the other ones fingers off. This installment of the toxic avenger is the funniest of them all and even though it's not the greatest, it still has a space in my VHS collection. If you want to see more of my reviews on the other movies, I go into detail on what the goer scenes are. Rent it if you come across part 2 or simply buy it for $5.00. It's worth some laughs. GET THE DIRECTORS CUT!!! THIS ONE HERE IS NOT THE DIRECTORS CUT!!! The R-Rated Version SUCKS!!

4 out of 5 stars NEVER A DULL MOMENT.......2006-02-22

This is the funniest of the Toxic Avenger movies, with moments of truly high hilarity. The oddball hijinx will have you groaning, chuckling, and bellylaughing by turns. Toxie has a girlfriend in this one, and he travels to Japan in search of his father. His girlfriend is played by New-York-City-performance-artist-and Underground-Diva Phoebe Legere, who is over the top to begin with, and who here goes way over the top in her performance. Her rendition of "Amazing Grace" on the soundtrack behind a Sumo wrestling montage ranks among the glories of cinematic history. If you're in the mood for comedy that's raw and raucous and offbeat and silly, this is the movie for you!

Troma Films' Toxic Avenger series shows its lack of legs with the second sequel to its 1985 hit. Despite a typically absurd premise, which has Toxie battling Satan to save his hometown of Tromaville, the film lacks the go-for-broke gags and gore that made the first two films such guilty pleasures. Part of the reason for this may be that the movie was culled from footage shot for The Toxic Avenger, Part II; Troma heads Lloyd Kaufman (who also helmed the feature) and Michael Herz simply stitched together Part III from the loose ends. While haphazard construction is part of the charm of Troma's films, the relatively high quality of the Toxic Avenger series raised the bar, and the slapdash nature of Part III is more of a disappointment than a campy source of humor. True to their nature, Troma disregarded the drubbing this film received and completed a fourth entry, Citizen Toxie. --Paul Gaita

3 out of 5 stars Toxic Avenger Part III.......2007-06-02

The Toxic Avenger Part III is pretty much made up off leftover footage from the Toxic Avenger Part II. That being known, you can tell Toxic Avenger III has a paper thin script. The best part of the movie is the fight scene in the video store, where he rips out a guys intestines.

The plot involves the Toxic Avenger working for the devil, the chairman of Apocalypse Inc, which really doesn't make any since. He battled Apocalypse Inc in Toxic Avenger Part II, so he would already know that Apocalypse Inc is bad. Toxic Avenger wants to get Claire an eye operation. Why is her name Claire in Toxic Avenger II & III, when her name was Sarah in the original? So, if you watched the first two Toxic Avenger movies Part III is going to seem kind of stupid and pointless. Even though is movie pretty much contradicts Toxic Avenger II, I still give it three stars because I enjoyed the first two so much, if you forget about what you know first the first two films part III is fairly entertaining. If you didn't like Toxic Avenger II stay away from this one!

3 out of 5 stars An OK sequel!.......2007-05-25

After the events of part 2, lovable monster superhero Toxie must still deal with the evil forces of the greedy corporation known as Apocalypse Inc. as he struggles to get his fiancee Claire an eye operation to restore her sight. He joins Apocalypse Inc. and becomes a yuppie then the hero every Tromaville citizen loves, unknown to him that the owner of the corporation is actually satan who plans on taking over the town of tromaville but can Toxie regain back his soul and take on the dark lord himself or will Tromaville including humanity will suffer?

An all-right entry of the series though it's not as good as the first, second and fourth entries! The splatter is well done but there's not much of them as shown in the other parts of the saga but the laughs are still there.

This DVD has good picture and sound with the unrated director's cut and cool extras like trailers to this and other Troma movies, an introduction by Toxie creator and Troma president Lloyd Kaufman, interviews with cast, interactive troma map, Toxic Avenger museum with stills and merchandise gallery, easter eggs, where in the world is Toxie? featurette and more.

3 out of 5 stars The Weakest Of All TA's, but still enjoyable........2005-06-29

I first got into the Toxic Avenger with this very movie years ago. I loved the humour and the over the top goofyness of it. I became a fan 'cause of this movie and then later on saw Toxie 1 and saw why people didnt like the sequels 'cause they where more comedy driven then gore, like the original.

However, part II does has some great re-inserted gore bits that makes it better then it's original release. I was hoping that this one, part III, the directors cut would have re-inserted some bloody awsome grouseme shots. But, I hardly noticed any changes at all from the old VHS copy I had.

It had been a long time since I watched any of the Toxies, and watching them all on DVD in the correct order, i did see why this movie is said to be the weakest of them all, it does drag for a while through the middle of it and doesnt pick up untill the end. But there is still some great scenes in it.. however, I cant say you will enjoy it, some will, some wont, it depends on taste and how much you loved the first movie I guess.

The DVD contains the movie. The movies fine, except it looked a bit faded in color. The subtitles are screwed up. it's only in stereo, the commantary is the usual crap, the Toxic interviews would only entertain the die hard fan, they would put everyone else to sleep, Clips from the Anthology Film Archives screening of the movie is a snore, Watch the Naked Dance of the Damned Fat is just a dumb extra added, Absorb the Radiation March is a stupid thing put on every Troma DVD, Visit the Troma Treasure Chest is something that has potential to advertise there gift store, but it's just not funny, Learn to TromaDance is for the dumn at heart, The Mutant Slide Show old-school style is a bunch of pics and cover arts, Where in the World Is Toxie is hardly diffrent from the one on the 1st TA DVD, i didnt even bother going through them all.... the bonus features are pretty weak.. some outtakes & Deleted scenes are badly needed, but unfortunalty none exsist because they where thrown away.

If your a fan of Toxie and want this to complete the collection, then theres no stopping you from buying it, but otherwise, look for it in the cheapie bin or rent it, it's ok, and watchable again and again, but it's not as classic or as strong as part 1, 2 & 4's directors cuts.

4 out of 5 stars The Worst of the Series, But Still a Lot of Fun.......2004-10-13

What a great idea... after Toxie cleans up Tromaville and makes it a "nice place to live" where people are happy and dance like idiots in the streets, who's left for Toxie to oppose? Well, how about THE DEVIL!!! For those that don't know the story behind parts II and III, it was originally supposed to be one movie. The ony problem is that after it was completed it turned out to be something like 6 hours long! So the directer decided to chop the film in half and trim it down to two seperate movies. This explains the continuity problems and the fact that Part III seems to have such a weak plot. It's really just the end of one long movie. Personally I would have liked to see it as a 6 hour epic, but that's just me. So anyway, the themes of evil big business conglomerates being represented by satan is taken literally this time around. Now we find out that the Chairman of Apocalypse Inc (whom you'll remember from part II) is actually Old Nick himself (i.e. Satan) trying to pollute the planet and control the people. Of course we all know who wins. With the help of non other than the Good Lord, Toxie mashes satan. I would say to ignore those advising to steer clear of this movie. I found it to be, while not quite as good as I and II, a good, fun little movie.

1 out of 5 stars This was a Disappointment.......2003-02-02

As much as I like Troma films, this movie was seriously disappointing. As a fan of the first two films in the Toxic Avenger series I was expecting a lot more from this third installment. Instead, this movie is a large step backwards from the previous two. The acting is horrible, the fight scenes are awful, and the plot is lacking.
And it features one of the worst endings ever. The "videogame" showdown makes little to no sense. Regardless of whether or not you're a Troma fan I recommend steering clear of this one.

Description

The New York Post raves, proclaiming Toxic Avenger III to be "Troma's `Intolerance,' with bigger sets and higher aspirations." The third 35mm theatrical hit in director Lloyd Kaufman's wildly successful Toxic Avenger series finds our hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength battling his most formidable foe to date- the Devil himself! He's cleaned up Tromaville. He's conquered Tokyo. The Toxic Avenger series has set a new standard for independent action/comedies, transcending the limitations of low-budget filmmaking to become a bona fide worldwide phenomenon! The Toxic Avenger Part III continues this tradition in high style with eye-popping, gut-wrenching special effects, explosive action, and the unmistakably Tromatic sense of humor.

3 out of 5 stars Toxic Avenger Part III.......2007-06-02

The Toxic Avenger Part III is pretty much made up off leftover footage from the Toxic Avenger Part II. That being known, you can tell Toxic Avenger III has a paper thin script. The best part of the movie is the fight scene in the video store, where he rips out a guys intestines.

The plot involves the Toxic Avenger working for the devil, the chairman of Apocalypse Inc, which really doesn't make any since. He battled Apocalypse Inc in Toxic Avenger Part II, so he would already know that Apocalypse Inc is bad. Toxic Avenger wants to get Claire an eye operation. Why is her name Claire in Toxic Avenger II & III, when her name was Sarah in the original? So, if you watched the first two Toxic Avenger movies Part III is going to seem kind of stupid and pointless. Even though is movie pretty much contradicts Toxic Avenger II, I still give it three stars because I enjoyed the first two so much, if you forget about what you know first the first two films part III is fairly entertaining. If you didn't like Toxic Avenger II stay away from this one!

3 out of 5 stars An OK sequel!.......2007-05-25

After the events of part 2, lovable monster superhero Toxie must still deal with the evil forces of the greedy corporation known as Apocalypse Inc. as he struggles to get his fiancee Claire an eye operation to restore her sight. He joins Apocalypse Inc. and becomes a yuppie then the hero every Tromaville citizen loves, unknown to him that the owner of the corporation is actually satan who plans on taking over the town of tromaville but can Toxie regain back his soul and take on the dark lord himself or will Tromaville including humanity will suffer?

An all-right entry of the series though it's not as good as the first, second and fourth entries! The splatter is well done but there's not much of them as shown in the other parts of the saga but the laughs are still there.

This DVD has good picture and sound with the unrated director's cut and cool extras like trailers to this and other Troma movies, an introduction by Toxie creator and Troma president Lloyd Kaufman, interviews with cast, interactive troma map, Toxic Avenger museum with stills and merchandise gallery, easter eggs, where in the world is Toxie? featurette and more.

3 out of 5 stars The Weakest Of All TA's, but still enjoyable........2005-06-29

I first got into the Toxic Avenger with this very movie years ago. I loved the humour and the over the top goofyness of it. I became a fan 'cause of this movie and then later on saw Toxie 1 and saw why people didnt like the sequels 'cause they where more comedy driven then gore, like the original.

However, part II does has some great re-inserted gore bits that makes it better then it's original release. I was hoping that this one, part III, the directors cut would have re-inserted some bloody awsome grouseme shots. But, I hardly noticed any changes at all from the old VHS copy I had.

It had been a long time since I watched any of the Toxies, and watching them all on DVD in the correct order, i did see why this movie is said to be the weakest of them all, it does drag for a while through the middle of it and doesnt pick up untill the end. But there is still some great scenes in it.. however, I cant say you will enjoy it, some will, some wont, it depends on taste and how much you loved the first movie I guess.

The DVD contains the movie. The movies fine, except it looked a bit faded in color. The subtitles are screwed up. it's only in stereo, the commantary is the usual crap, the Toxic interviews would only entertain the die hard fan, they would put everyone else to sleep, Clips from the Anthology Film Archives screening of the movie is a snore, Watch the Naked Dance of the Damned Fat is just a dumb extra added, Absorb the Radiation March is a stupid thing put on every Troma DVD, Visit the Troma Treasure Chest is something that has potential to advertise there gift store, but it's just not funny, Learn to TromaDance is for the dumn at heart, The Mutant Slide Show old-school style is a bunch of pics and cover arts, Where in the World Is Toxie is hardly diffrent from the one on the 1st TA DVD, i didnt even bother going through them all.... the bonus features are pretty weak.. some outtakes & Deleted scenes are badly needed, but unfortunalty none exsist because they where thrown away.

If your a fan of Toxie and want this to complete the collection, then theres no stopping you from buying it, but otherwise, look for it in the cheapie bin or rent it, it's ok, and watchable again and again, but it's not as classic or as strong as part 1, 2 & 4's directors cuts.

4 out of 5 stars The Worst of the Series, But Still a Lot of Fun.......2004-10-13

What a great idea... after Toxie cleans up Tromaville and makes it a "nice place to live" where people are happy and dance like idiots in the streets, who's left for Toxie to oppose? Well, how about THE DEVIL!!! For those that don't know the story behind parts II and III, it was originally supposed to be one movie. The ony problem is that after it was completed it turned out to be something like 6 hours long! So the directer decided to chop the film in half and trim it down to two seperate movies. This explains the continuity problems and the fact that Part III seems to have such a weak plot. It's really just the end of one long movie. Personally I would have liked to see it as a 6 hour epic, but that's just me. So anyway, the themes of evil big business conglomerates being represented by satan is taken literally this time around. Now we find out that the Chairman of Apocalypse Inc (whom you'll remember from part II) is actually Old Nick himself (i.e. Satan) trying to pollute the planet and control the people. Of course we all know who wins. With the help of non other than the Good Lord, Toxie mashes satan. I would say to ignore those advising to steer clear of this movie. I found it to be, while not quite as good as I and II, a good, fun little movie.

1 out of 5 stars This was a Disappointment.......2003-02-02

As much as I like Troma films, this movie was seriously disappointing. As a fan of the first two films in the Toxic Avenger series I was expecting a lot more from this third installment. Instead, this movie is a large step backwards from the previous two. The acting is horrible, the fight scenes are awful, and the plot is lacking.
And it features one of the worst endings ever. The "videogame" showdown makes little to no sense. Regardless of whether or not you're a Troma fan I recommend steering clear of this one.

Take the art direction and set design from The Crow and Batman. Add a male-bonding element reminiscent of The Killer or Hard-Boiled. Stir in a plot line about some top-secret near-invincible bionic-man superwarriors taking over the drug trade in Hong Kong, with only one man who can stop them. Season with a high body count, lots of explosions and running gun battles, and spectacular hand-to-hand fight sequences. Top off with a soupçon of cheesy comic relief and a generous helping of atrocious dubbing. Bake for too long, then remove from oven and allow to cool until thoroughly stale. The result: Black Mask. Sure, it's a preposterous recipe (bet you didn't know that LED readouts will show up on an X-ray), but it's stylishly prepared and presented, with high-octane editing, wild camera angles, and a neo-Goth feel all around. Of course it's all about the remarkable Jet Li, the fight scenes, and the postindustrial art direction. Those who come expecting a high-concept, intelligent thriller will be left with indigestion, but Hong Kong action fans who live and die for insane stunts and head-spinning martial arts scenes will have their appetites sated by this dish. It's very interesting to see the influence that John Woo's hand continues to have on American and HK action thrillers, years after his seminal films with Chow Yun-fat. It'll be even more interesting to see how films like Black Mask hold up in the future. Just don't take it too seriously and this movie works just fine. Oh, and the title? It comes from when Jet Li switches from his mild-mannered librarian persona to butt-kicking superhero, complete with mask and hat à la The Green Hornet's Cato. --Jerry Renshaw

4 out of 5 stars Black Mask..........2006-12-21

I enjoyed Jet Li in this movie...never mind the dubbing, I can look past that and enjoy the move for what it is...fantasy/action. Four stars...

2 out of 5 stars Not Jet's worse, but man was that bad.......2006-07-08

Now obviously the new rap music and great american voices they put on make it as bad as possible. But then again, the movie certainly is no gem in it's original language version, that is for sure.

The whole movie had above average action sequences, but the story was unbearable. Not the story itself, but the execution of it is the worst possible. It goes from sickening moments to almost little kid parts between Jet and teh girl. Just freaking horrible.

So the dvd is full screened, music is stupid, voice dubbing is almost as bad as the "jet li collection" movies, but you will get a few good points one or two good laughs, and a decent finale.

3 out of 5 stars good action with a dash of plot........2006-05-23

First off, the action in this film is great. Jet Li can kick some major butt, and the scenes with him and Françoise Yip are very good.

The detective friend is funny, the dub is amusing, they went with a kind of Bogart vibe on the voice.

The dub for the girl Tracy is annoying... high pitched and whiney, but she's a plucky enough character to not be completely irredeemable.

All in all, good action movie, and Jet Li is pretty studly as the Black Mask. (although corrugated cardboard is not what I'd have pictured as good mask material)

4 out of 5 stars Hong Kong Superhero movie done good.......2006-03-10

I can’t remember ever seeing a superhero Hong Kong action movie. You would think it would be something obvious to do considering the dynamic action styling of Hong Kong action films. Sounds like a good idea? Well The Black Mask delivers on that idea. Combine insane stunt work and martial arts choreography along with a masked crime fighter and you get a superhero movie with action that will put Hollywood to shame.

As with many superhero movies the plot isn’t what you call complex or involved. It is just a simple super-villain-with-a-master-plan kind of affair here. The interesting thing about Black Mask is what they do in between the fight scenes and evil plots. You get a good look at the relationships between our hero and his friends and co-workers. Things like a fledgling romance and conflicts of interest with friends actually work here. After a bit of character development the plot thickens and the bullets start to fly. This isn’t high art on the script side, but then again if you shouldn’t be expecting that in the first place. Hong Kong action films aren’t known for gripping stories, just high-flying action. At least here you get a solid story, solid back story, with all the action goodness.

Okay lets get to the nitty gritty. The Black Mask is a martial arts film at its core, and I gotta tell you the martial arts rock. The choreography done in the fight scenes are not only tight but they are fast and furious. Jet Li definitely shows his stuff on this one along with a few other martial artists. It puts just about every fight scene from Hollywood to shame. This movie obviously pays homage to Bruce Lee’s Kato character from the Green Hornet television shows. The special effects do go crazy at times with all the explosions, blood and body parts flying around. Even crazier are seeing some things like colored smoke for no reason and Silly String (yes… Silly String). The English dubbing isn’t great, but to be honest it’s not any worse than your average foreign film dub.

Basically this movie is for action fans and fans of Hong Kong martial arts movies. It’s an entertaining blend of science fiction, police drama, kung fu and of course superhero genres that make this an enjoyable popcorn movie. Granted it’s not going to look polished for the average viewer, but if you like martial arts and cool superheroes I recommend The Black Mask.

5 out of 5 stars wow.......2005-10-10

i'm shocked that this movie is rated only three stars here on amazon. it might be the greatest action movie ever. it's one of jet li's finest. the action is unbelievably good.

This is pure comic relief, Hong Kong style, with a so-so story line bolstered by a few 'twists' here and there. Excellent with Chinese take away or times when your mind needs a good break.

    Troma Films' Toxic Avenger series shows its lack of legs with the second sequel to its 1985 hit. Despite a typically absurd premise, which has Toxie battling Satan to save his hometown of Tromaville, the film lacks the go-for-broke gags and gore that made the first two films such guilty pleasures. Part of the reason for this may be that the movie was culled from footage shot for The Toxic Avenger, Part II; Troma heads Lloyd Kaufman (who also helmed the feature) and Michael Herz simply stitched together Part III from the loose ends. While haphazard construction is part of the charm of Troma's films, the relatively high quality of the Toxic Avenger series raised the bar, and the slapdash nature of Part III is more of a disappointment than a campy source of humor. True to their nature, Troma disregarded the drubbing this film received and completed a fourth entry, Citizen Toxie. --Paul Gaita
