‘The Toxic Avenger’ Will Have Your Back Even If Your Health Insurance Doesn’t [Clip]

Beyond the monster dong, butt guts, and bodily fluids, The Toxic Avenger continues in the franchise’s tradition of social commentary. Get a hint of its satirization of the health care industry in the clip below.

The fresh take on Troma’s 1984 cult classic opens in theaters unrated on August 29.

Produced by The Toxic Avenger creator Lloyd Kaufman, the superhero horror comedy is written and directed by Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore).

Downtrodden janitor Winston Gooze is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, transforming him into a mutant vigilante. Toxie must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community.

Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”) stars with Jacob Tremblay (Doctor Sleep), Taylour Paige (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F), Julia Davis (Phantom Thread), Jonny Coyne (“11.22.63”), Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings), and Kevin Bacon (Friday the 13th).

Dial 1-802-377-FILM to hear Toxie as the voice of Moviefone, then get your tickets to see the radioactive riot.
