The Toxic Avenger (1984) | Retrograde Series

Our late night cult classic series Retrograde continues in August with THE TOXIC AVENGER! 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀: princetongardentheatre.org/specials

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Presented in a new restoration courtesy of the American Genre Film Archive, we are concluding our summer Retrograde series with New Jersey’s first superhero – THE TOXIC AVENGER. A mix of B-movie exploitation, grindhouse horror, and a dash of John Waters-style comedy, this film tells the story of a nerdy janitor doused in toxic waste by a gang of thugs. As the chemicals grotesquely change his appearance, he gains super strength and transforms into a do-gooder looking to mop up the streets by any brutal means necessary. Straight from the demented low-budget minds of Lloyd Kaufman and Troma Entertainment. Rated R for intense violence and nudity.
