Kevin Smith recently revealed that he was offered the opportunity to direct a reboot of The Toxic Avenger, but passed due to creative differences.
A pair of sequels – The Toxic Avenger Part II and The Toxic Avenger III: The Last Temptation of Toxie – were both released in 1989, having been shot back to back.
Definitely the most well-known film to ever come out of notorious indie studio Troma Entertainment, The Toxic Avenger hit theaters in 1984.
Full of over-the-top gory kills and jokes that would never fly in today’s social climate, The Toxic Avenger revels in its absurdity.
