3 Supermen contro il Padrino

Turkish nonsense about a time machine (which looks like an octagonal phone box with no glass) and the three acrobatic thugs in bright red jammies who try to steal it. But what they end up stealing is only an imitation made of scrap metal, and after the time machine's creator ends up with amnesia, and several attempts are made to restore his memory to get the time machine. A heroin dealer's robbery and a kidnapping work into things somehow, but as with a lot of these grindhouse flicks, it's better to not try to figure out a plot and just laugh at its shortcomings.

Most definitely unintentionally funny, but there's a difference between unintentionally funny and moronic. Scenes of female neurosurgeons running through the hallways of a hospital in bikini underwear, for example, are more silly than unintentionally funny. This is amusing to a point, as it rips off everything from comic-book movies to action flicks to The Godfather, but it wears out its welcome and grows tiresome long before the ending.

Have you ever seen a bad film? And I don't now mean film, you just don't like because it's not the genre you like. But something really awful. If you haven't, this is a good choice. There are films which are just bad. Then there are films that are so bad that they are actually good. And then there's films that are too bad to be fun camp comedy. This is one of those films.

Storyline is bad, idiotic, stupid and boring. Acting is bad, idiotic, stupid and boring. This tries to be a comedy, I guess. It's done very badly. People just speak 'fun' way and mess up things and thing that's fun. Well, it's not. This film is not fun. This gives new meaning for the word crap. Don't watch this.

Apparently the "3 Fantastic Supermen" series, which began in 1967, lasted for nearly 20 years, and the actors playing the 3 title roles often changed from film to film. In this one, Nick Jordan, who played the mute Superman who's always making annoying noises 12 years earlier, is now a different Superman; series regular Sal Borgese is the mute one; and prolific Turkish star Cüneyt Arkin is the FBI agent who also dons the cape occasionally. The number of action scenes is relatively decreased, probably because none of the stars were getting any younger; you can't expect Jordan to flip and roll virtually the whole time like he did in 1967. Kids will probably still be amused by the totally unsophisticated slapstick comedy and the Supermen's gravity-defying abilities; adults will only tolerate this movie if they are in the proper mood. One element everyone can enjoy is the silly but catchy music score. ** out of 4.
