AKA Legend in Leotards



1983, Directed by Phillipe Mora

Well, this goes to show that Christopher Lee has had some really odd roles in his career…

A musical comedy about an alcoholic ex-superhero? Can we predict that the plot involves Mr. Midnight attacking America, The Government calling in the help of a reluctant Captain Invincible, the Captain getting his powers back, battling his demons then defeating Mr. Midnight? I think we comfortably can. Let’s hope the heavy dollop of silliness present in the trailer makes it a fun ride.

Apparently some of the songs were actually written by Rocky Horror creator Richard O’Brien, hence the similarity in sound.

Favourite bit: Christopher Lee singing about booze with a goblin.

AKA Super Snooper



1980, Directed by Sergio Corbucci

An indestructible, psychokinetic policeman who keeps jumping out of windows? The worst nightmare of every criminal! And glazier.

This comedy really doesn’t look as hilarious as the voice-over man would have us believe. Lots of slapstick and face pulling and not much else - but who knows, maybe they left all the good bits out of the trailer.

And yes, at the end he ‘hilariously’ shoots a nuclear missile out of the sky, surely killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Ho ho! Actually, I have to doff my cap to any comedy which features both public executions and thermonuclear explosions.

Favourite bit: The look on Superfuzz’s face as he’s being electrocuted.
