Radioactive Man Re-Rises is a re-boot of the Radioactive Man franchise. The original film was cancelled due to the entire budget being spent by the crew after the residents of Springfield began engaging in price gouging. A new Radioactive Man film was made with a different director, budget, actors and locations. The new story did not include anyone from or references to Springfield. According to Lenny there has been at least 2 films in between the original film and Radioactive Man Re-Rises.
