The Toxic Avenger Is Not That Kind of Avenger
He’s unrated.
Based on the 1984 cult classic of the same name, the film was reportedly deemed “unreleasable” by potential distributors because of its level of violence, despite starring Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, and Elijah Wood, per World of Reel. Originally an unrated cult-favorite film released in 1984 alongside a Marvel comic series, the Toxic Avenger had a successful midnight movie at New York’s Bleecker Street Theater for over a year, before becoming a late-night cable classic, per Den of Geek. Other cast members include Zola star Taylour Paige as investigative journalist J.J. Doherty and Elijah Wood as Bacon’s younger brother Fritz Garbinger.
