I got my dad to buy me that movie outta the VHS bin at King Soopers when I was like 6? Then let me watch it unsupervised and I 100% attribute it to the toxic sludgy half human man I am today.
Loved this cartoon growing up, only realised it was based on one of the most gratuitous movies ever when I was about 16, then fell in love with that too.
RoboCop was a perfect storm. Campy yet had a serious message behind the tone. Great performances. A pretty good story. And one of the most amazing theme songs ever put on film.
You don't go into a Troma flick expecting high class cinema. You go expecting monster cock, kids getting graphically killed, terrible puns, and a lot of boobs.
Elijah Wood, Julia Davis, Taylour Paige, Kevin Bacon, Peter Dinklage, and Jacob Tremblay lead the cast of Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger, being called a “contemporary reimagining.”
To be fair, I think he only kills one guy with a mop in the original. He kills a guy with his own arm at one point, punches a guys guts out and stuffs them down his pants, throws a guy into a deep fryer.... I can't remember the rest; I saw it when I was 7
If Elijah Wood is attached then I have faith it will be faithful (sorry about the wonky sentence). He is a HUGE horror movie guy, so he probably grew up watching Troma movies.
“A contemporary reimagining of Troma Entertainment’s successful 1984 low-budget action-comedy hit, The Toxic Avenger is steeped in environmental themes and subverts the superhero genre in the vein of Deadpool."
When I was younger there was a show called Toxic Crusaders. It was a cartoon based off the movie. They had toys and everything. Toxic Avenger played on TV one night and I thought it was a live action adaption of the cartoon. Whoops. It definitely shaped my taste in movies because I love Troma, but I'm pretty sure I was scarred for a while after seeing that movie far too young.
I mean, they made a Saturday morning cartoon based on the original back in the early 90's, so this particular property has always had an uncharacteristically mainstream appeal to it.
This is cool news and all but I can’t but think why they’re remaking this… or any Troma flick for that matter? Iirc, isn’t the entire point of that studio to not be AAA?
I'm always worried they'll ruin one of these with a PG-13 Rating. It's nice to see that's not the case. We need more unapologetically R-rated movies. Not everything has to be for kids.
Some movies should/shouldn’t be remade. One perk even if the remake sucks is that streaming services start streaming the originals again so for that I’m kinda for it.
Two questions. Why remake it? And second question was Melvin supposed to be a “struggling everyman” in the movie? If so that is not the impression I got.
Ok so my ex was the art director on the original version of this. We weren’t meant to be, but she was a goddam artist, and that’s why there will be a remake. Here’s to the people that make this shit happen. They’re the best.
Man toxic avenger is so good. There’s a bar by my place that plays live punk, has fantastic drinks with names like Demon Semen, and plays Troma on repeat. Unfortunately closed down during the pandemic, but it was my favorite bar. Loved drinkin some Demon Semen served to me by a nice goth lady while I watched Tromeo and Juliet
I know they had Toxic Avenger cartoons when I was a kid but I also know the OG movie was a very, very hard R and would expect nothing less in a remake...
Normally I would be worried that this is a soulless cash grab using a cult property( and it still might be that), but Macon Blair freaking rocks. He routinely shows up in some of my favorite movies (Thunder Road, Green Room, etc.), but he has also directed my favorite Netflix original film, I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore. Truly one of my favorite dark comedies in recent memory.
So tired of all the PG-13 movies. The movie industry has swing too far in that direction. Everything is made for kids or adults who think like kids. Disney will probably make a PG-13 Deadpool movie soon.
They still have new stuff coming out and even have their own streaming service. None of it is as good as the Toxic Avenger of Nuke 'Em High movies, but there are a couple things here and there worth checking out.
If it retains the tone of the original, I'll probably watch and enjoy it but wonder what the point was of remaking an absolutely flawless, certified banger of a film. If they try to inject it with social commentary, I'll pretend it doesn't exist.
Only brief graphic nudity? The original was like 50% boobs and 50% gore.
In the 80's boobs and gore were on-demand.
Lloyd Kaufman is rolling in his grave.
Maybe it's brief graphic nudity but frequent regular old nudity?
Boobs are not graphic nudity. Penis and vagina are graphic nudity. We are def getting a close up of Peter Donglage hanging his dink.
That’s just Troma though.
You gotta love that in 1984 Sheena Queen of the Jungle was rated PG. The first 30 mins of the movie Tanya Roberts runs around topless.
I got my dad to buy me that movie outta the VHS bin at King Soopers when I was like 6? Then let me watch it unsupervised and I 100% attribute it to the toxic sludgy half human man I am today.
127% insanity
And 50% montages.
These days it’s prolly gonna be no titties or vagine, but a forest of dicks.
For a second I thought the title said “Beef Graphic Nudity”
It has 3 Boobs.
Wait until you find out that the nudity is Frodo.
And 100% reason to remember the name
Remember Toxic Crusaders? Turning R rated stuff into kids cartoons was a pretty amazing/weird trend.
My Robocop toy: "Drugs are trouble!"
nostalgia
Also "attack of the killer tomatoes", i loved that one
90's movie tie in toys were insane.
Loved this cartoon growing up, only realised it was based on one of the most gratuitous movies ever when I was about 16, then fell in love with that too.
I wonder what the last one was. The 90s Robo-Cop cartoon?
It worked for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
For the reboot to not be rated R would be to nullify it’s own existence.
Toxie, Rambo, Chuck Norris , and Robo Cop all had cartoons.
Calling Troma films "R rated stuff" under-sells just how NSFW they were. I brought Tromeo and Juliet to a work "bad movies" night once... once.
Finding this out at 10 when your older cousin let you rent it while they're watching you overnight was a hell of a revelation, let me tell ya.
I grew up in the 80's and the R rating was just a suggestion anyway, most kids were allowed to watch whatever.
RoboCop was a perfect storm. Campy yet had a serious message behind the tone. Great performances. A pretty good story. And one of the most amazing theme songs ever put on film.
The amount of Rated R properties that got turned into kids toys was very impressive.
The Tromaverse is foul, reprehensible, overly-camp, and I wouldn't have it any other way
You don't go into a Troma flick expecting high class cinema. You go expecting monster cock, kids getting graphically killed, terrible puns, and a lot of boobs.
When Tromeo and Juliet, Slither, and Guardians of the galaxy are all the same guy. XD
I will be disappointed if they don't show the villains brutally murdering dogs and children.
[удалено]
I haven’t seen those movies since college, I used to love them. I need to go back and check them out again
The movies are disgusting, purile, immature and crude.
Surf Nazis Must Die is a great movie. Anyone who says different is just dumb.

Plot twist: it's Elijah Wood that hangs dong
If Elijah Wood is attached then I have faith it will be faithful (sorry about the wonky sentence). He is a HUGE horror movie guy, so he probably grew up watching Troma movies.
Elijah Wood is a big horror fan and IIRC is on record for years saying that he loves the Toxie movies.
Macon Blair’s directing it?
Dinklage seems to love fun dumb movies. I highly recommend everyone watch Knights of Badassdom.
Macon Blair's got my vote of confidence. I'm sure this will rule.
Same, he’s had a hand in so many of my favorite films of the last decade I have to blindly trust him.
[удалено]
Will this be the first Macon/Bacon collaboration?
If this isn't over the top camp then they missed the entire point. Please don't try to do grim dark Toxic Avenger.
“One day a slime is gonna wash this clean city away” as toxie stares out a rain soaked window
It's being directed by Macon Blair, who did "I Don't Feel At Home in This World Anymore" which I found to be pretty over the top in a good way.
Have faith in Macon Blair
Grim, dark and "realistic".
“A contemporary reimagining of Troma Entertainment’s successful 1984 low-budget action-comedy hit, The Toxic Avenger is steeped in environmental themes and subverts the superhero genre in the vein of Deadpool."
Unless they do over the top grim dark. It's about time we had a self aware grim dark thing mark the end of that era.
I want it to be grim dark to start off then go completely off the walls parody of it. That would be fantastic
What does camp mean?
It'll be very interesting to see how this ties into the greater MCU, seems like a bit of a tone shift. /s
It's hes basically just a normal avenger but kinda gaslights people and makes everyone a bit sad.
You joke, but [the Toxic Avenger comic](
When I was younger there was a show called Toxic Crusaders. It was a cartoon based off the movie. They had toys and everything. Toxic Avenger played on TV one night and I thought it was a live action adaption of the cartoon. Whoops. It definitely shaped my taste in movies because I love Troma, but I'm pretty sure I was scarred for a while after seeing that movie far too young.
Before the Avengers got woke.. they were toxic!
You’ll probably see how it titties.
He was published
i thought this post was about
[удалено]
More of a ding than a dong
here's the twist...they're going to show all of it.
Whoops, I dropped my monster condom that I use for my mutant dong!
Hopefully there's no chicks. Women just slow action films down. I don't need some hot nerd making me feel worse about myself.
Putting $10 on a dong getting melted off
meganganz
Is there any other choice?
The dude getting his hand minced in the VCR and it somehow being shown on the tv is one of those scenes that has stuck in my head for decades.
[удалено]
I didn't know that! I'm old and used to watch the TA vhs from a rental place. Don't remember her.
Does this mean we will be getting a new Sgt. Kabuki Man NYPD??? One can only hope 🔥🍜🔥
He’s still doing YouTube for them
Lloyd has told me no several times. Something to do with rights.
That theme song, so catchy!
I need Terror Firmer 2: Terror Firmerer
What’s “brief graphic nudity”? A glimpse of a gaping vagina? What qualifies as “graphic?”
This was in Tromeo and Juliet. NSWF of course.
Usually dong
Nice, Psycho Goreman filled my Toxic Avenger hunger, but I'll definitely be glad to see a new TA movie.
"I do not care for hunky boys!"
You just talked me into watching Psycho Goreman
I for one am shocked. The Toxic Avenger is supposed to be family-friendly entertainment.
Well, they did make a children's animated TV show based on it lol.
This is the film I'm most excited for this year. I've been waiting for it for like 10 years.
exactly, I know it will never stand up to the original, not a chance
Will they use the car crash scene though?
Not gona click its a youtube link so probably gona get rick rolled
It wouldn't be a Toxic Avenger movie without brief graphic nudity.
“Graphic nudity” means Mutant dick right? They’re gonna hang mutant dong aren’t they.
God I hope it's big.
I dunno... a big budget mainstream Troma film feels like it's completely missing the point.
I mean, they made a Saturday morning cartoon based on the original back in the early 90's, so this particular property has always had an uncharacteristically mainstream appeal to it.
You really don't want to know about the Broadway musical.
Counterculture is so hot right now.
When the box office is dominated with mediocre super hero movies, it might be necessary
Hell yeah nude toxie
Legit toxic masculinity
I should fucking hope it's rated R, it's a troma movie...
Watch Troma be bought by Disney.
I am not a comic book collector, but for some reason I do have Toxic Avenger #1. He's a weird one, but I kind of like him.
Toxic Avenger nuts sack confirmed.
Well that's highly offensive... "brief".
Dinklage Dong confirmed.
The original was such a great movie, hope they don’t ruin it with this remake
This is cool news and all but I can’t but think why they’re remaking this… or any Troma flick for that matter? Iirc, isn’t the entire point of that studio to not be AAA?
I hope this turns into a critique of comic book movies. Seems like a good vehicle for it.
Poultrygeist remake next?
I still have the VHS of this in my garage. What a classic..‘it’s so bad it’s brilliant’
I'm always worried they'll ruin one of these with a PG-13 Rating. It's nice to see that's not the case. We need more unapologetically R-rated movies. Not everything has to be for kids.
They’re remaking this? Why? It’s perfect as it is
Some movies should/shouldn’t be remade. One perk even if the remake sucks is that streaming services start streaming the originals again so for that I’m kinda for it.
I live in the town where the original was filmed! The scenes from Sopranos when Vito ran away to New Hampshire where also filmed here
I loved the original Toxic Avenger movies! The wife was not amused when I demanded she watch them
I wanna see full peen.
Two questions. Why remake it? And second question was Melvin supposed to be a “struggling everyman” in the movie? If so that is not the impression I got.
It might be fun to see it remade with modern practical effects since materials and techniques have gotten so much better
Ok so my ex was the art director on the original version of this. We weren’t meant to be, but she was a goddam artist, and that’s why there will be a remake. Here’s to the people that make this shit happen. They’re the best.
TROMA!
So they are dialing it back? What wimps. I do not think 8 year old me was meant to see the Toxic Avenger in the 80s.
I'm just waiting for the
They better have a Golden Retriever getting blasted by a shotgun or I'm out.
Do the youth of today even know about Troma?
Troma is still alive. There is always going to be people who love sleaze and schlock.
It better have strong gore. Toxic avenger is the slasher killer of super heroes
Man toxic avenger is so good. There’s a bar by my place that plays live punk, has fantastic drinks with names like Demon Semen, and plays Troma on repeat. Unfortunately closed down during the pandemic, but it was my favorite bar. Loved drinkin some Demon Semen served to me by a nice goth lady while I watched Tromeo and Juliet
The original had a woman masturbating to a Polaroid of a mutilated child's corpse
I think Psycho Goreman is the closest we'll get to something along the tone of the original Toxic Avenger.
I dunno, Psycho Goreman plays out kind of like an 80s kids movie.
would it really be a toxi movie without beach tits?
"Brief Graphic Nudity"? Only brief? Is this even a troma film anymore?
I am ready for the new and improved Tromaverse.
Can’t improve perfection, though. I just hope this is art.
The end credits will introduce Sgt. Kabukiman.
What’s the over under this flops
Wasn't the original beyond R? Like NC-17 or NR?
Nope, just R.
It would be news if it wasn’t rated R
Blood and bewbs…America!
Is Lloyd Kaufman involved?
LEMME SEE HIS DICK
That’s fucking terrifying
The hubris in remaking the greatest film of all time.
That pic looks like the dude from The Goonies and also the guy that melted in RoboCop (Original).
Brief graphic nudity? My oh my has Troma fallen. ;-p
It'll probably be a erect dick getting torn off.
Thank god, the movie doesn't work if it's not gratuitous.
Home boy looks like Sloth from The Goonies.
I know they had Toxic Avenger cartoons when I was a kid but I also know the OG movie was a very, very hard R and would expect nothing less in a remake...
Plot twist; the nudity is this guy!
The animated tv show was the bomb.
As long as it retains the campiness, and goofiness of the originals I am all in.
What is the difference between “brief nudity” and “brief graphic nudity”?
awww…only ‘brief’ graphic nudity?? Nvm. Not interested in this anymore.
I thought it was a Goonies statue
Let’s do a remake of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes next!
I would be offended if it didn't have excessive gore and nudity. It's a Troma film.
If you liked the Toxic Avenger, you'll love the Septic Schlong.
Normally I would be worried that this is a soulless cash grab using a cult property( and it still might be that), but Macon Blair freaking rocks. He routinely shows up in some of my favorite movies (Thunder Road, Green Room, etc.), but he has also directed my favorite Netflix original film, I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore. Truly one of my favorite dark comedies in recent memory.
graphic nudity. Is there any other kind?
Definitely a dong.
Oh this is gonna be good
Oh come on, brief graphic nudity? Have they not seen the original?
Just looks like sloth from goonies..except charred
Considering the current world affairs, a new Toxic Avenger movie may make everything better for-me.
So tired of all the PG-13 movies. The movie industry has swing too far in that direction. Everything is made for kids or adults who think like kids. Disney will probably make a PG-13 Deadpool movie soon.
Is this in the MCU? /s
Good, more R rated movies need nudity in it, like every R rated movie in the 90’s.
You had me at "R"
His brother was in the goonies movie
Beautiful, was worried they were gonna PG-13 it for that mass appeal
I mean that's kind of like a no shit Sherlock the original was gory and had nudity this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone
200 million dollar budget? lol this is gonna bomb harder than Hiroshima
There’s a remake? Also, am I the only one who remembers toxic crusaders? The children’s cartoon spin of? It was bad….
If the guy doesn't hang dong, I'm walking
Trauma films were the best worst films ever
Troma
They still have new stuff coming out and even have their own streaming service. None of it is as good as the Toxic Avenger of Nuke 'Em High movies, but there are a couple things here and there worth checking out.
Holy shit people are allowed to say remake instead of reboot again
If it retains the tone of the original, I'll probably watch and enjoy it but wonder what the point was of remaking an absolutely flawless, certified banger of a film. If they try to inject it with social commentary, I'll pretend it doesn't exist.
Full frontal and dare I say... Full Backal??
Only brief nudity?
Hey you guys!
Baby…Ruth!
......I want to see its cock.
hell yeah full frontal mutant cock
I was wondering when they’d bring this character back. Might as well reboot Captain Planet too.
