A superhero movie directed by Juan Piquer Simon, the same man who brought us Pieces and Slugs? Can the world be a more amazing place?
Once you realize that the spaceship in the beginning is just a repainted Cylon Raider model kit, you know what you're getting in to. You're getting into something great.
Supersonic is played by Jose Luis Ayestaran, a former Tarzan and bodybuilder who did stunts for Conan the Barbarian. In his human form of Paul, he's Antonio Cantafora, who was in And God Said to Cain, Argento's The Card Player and the incredibly titled Put Your Devil Into My Hell.
Once known as Kronos, Supersonic Man has been sent to our Earth to battle the evil Dr. Gulik (Cameron Mitchell!) and his gigantic robot. This is a movie that was made to rip off Superman, which seems like a noble purpose, but unlike the films that the Italian film factories churned out - I use that word lovingly! - to ape Mad Max or Dawn of the Dead, there weren't a ton of superhero movies made. Which is kind of a shame.
Also, I realize that this movie is Spanish.
