The Best of Rifftrax - Supersonic Man

[@fromthecheapseats7126]

Best joke of the movie.

[@Eazy-ERyder]

My favorite!

[@TheHeavynecker1]

The movie is Spanish, and was filmed almost without money. The crew had many difficulties but the movie went ahead. Furthermore, Spain has no tradition on superhero movies and many special effects was used for first time. With more budget it can be a great movie, despite so it's full of good scenes: some effects are really low budget effects, but other are really good. The movie was shot for kids and teens mainly. The disco theme song was extremely popular the saturday nights 👍

[@tomservo5347]

I wonder if anyone involved with 'Pod People' worked on this one. The flying scenes are cheesy but immensely better than 'Pumaman'. I'm presuming this was made right after Franco died and Spain started having a little fun with things.

[@TheHeavynecker1]

@@tomservo5347 Franco died November 1975. This movie is from 1979. However, Spain was always a fun country, despite even Franco.

7:42 Yes that guy with the grey hair is Burt the Poacher from "Pod People", because this was directed by the same guy, Juan Piquer Simon. The actor is Frank Braña, a Spaniard who did a lot of budget European movies.
