I just downloaded The Toxic Avenger and started watching it, reminded me a bit of Darkman on well heroin, still a funny film, both really good

Are there any more non-comic comic book heroes?

I don’t trust wikipedia or steven speilberg

This is a tough one for some reason…..obviously Hancock will be coming out in a couple of weeks, so there is a new one for ya. How about this one…I loved it as a kid…..

CONDOR-MAN from 1981…..

Its silly actually but I have quite a bit of fun with this one…..I’ll see if I can think of some more…

Super Fudge…oh, wait. Nope, nevermind, can’t think of any right now.

No! I take that back. How about this little gem from the 80’s—Super Fuzz. I love what he is able to do with chewing gum. What a weird classic.

Super Fuzz, I believe is a Sergio Corbucci flick….Terence Hill film…forgot about this one…wasnt his weakness to color red or something…...I saw that movie so much when I was a kid….havent seen it in forever….Ernest Borgnine in that as well I believe…..

Yes, his weakness is the color red. There’s a punchline in the hero’s wedding about it at the end.

Remember the scene where he catches a bad guy’s bullets with his gun barrel?

Awesome thanks!
I am going away for college next week and need a butt load of new movies to watch
I am going to torture my roommate with all these films

I believe the films we mentioned also have catchy theme songs….that will drive a room mate crazy trust me…..

Was Puma-man a comic?

I hope not…

He flies like a moron

Anyone remember the Scott Baio movie ZAPPED!?  I would like to see this one again.  I remember super-powers from smoking weed, Willie Aames (of course), Scatman Crothers, and boobs.

Oh god but that soundtrack and the MST3K lyrics make me so damn happy every time…

BEST effing movie! Loved it so much as a kid

Zapped had a HORRIBLE sequel, it was as big a turd as Teen Wolf Too was for Teen Wolf.

I await the inevitable Zapped! remake.

There’s The Return Of Captain Invincible with Christopher Lee and Alan Arkin, but that’s more spoofy than played straight. I think John Ritter starred in a superhero comedy as well..

I guess Unbreakable would sort of count.

There were El Santo comics, but the films play by a different set of superhero rules.

And, of course there’s always BIBLE MAN.

The Greatest American Hero still stands as one of the best ever.  A superhero who lost the instruction manual is a terrific premise.
