A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

THE FIRST SUPERHUMAN-HERO... FROM NEW JERSEY!

A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong as Melvin, a nerdy emaciated janitor at the local health club, is cast through a third story window into a vat of hazardous toxic waste.

They remade this movie recently with Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon but they refuse to actually release it for some reason: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1633359/

Like... It's actually finished? There is a full Toxic Avenger remake, with Kevin fucking Bacon in it, just... Sitting around?

Yep. They showed it at a film festival a year ago.

I am desperately awaiting it. But it seems it's producer and distributor issues.

It's infuriating lol. One of the rare remakes I am looking forward to, and this happens
