The original "Toxic Avenger" is one of those movies that defines the term cult classic. An early hit for Troma, the studio where several celebrated directors (including James Gunn) first cut their teeth, The Toxic Avenger spawned many sequels throughout the '80s and '90s, so it’s not all that shocking that a "Toxic Avenger" remake was eventually given the green light.
The new film, starring Peter Dinklage in the title role, has had a rough road ot release. There was significant difficulty finding a studio willing to distribute the film. It seems the movie is quite extreme, which explains why, when it debuts in August, it will do without an MPA rating. Bloody Disgusting does, however, have MPA-style promotional material which promises just what we’ll get when "The Toxic Avenger" arrives.
