The Pumaman

While it never reaches the insane heights of the “best” of the bottom-of-the-barrel, there is an endearing sincerity and sense of ambition far, far exceeding grasp that makes this more fun to watch than it deserves; clearly made by someone who saw Christopher Reeve’s Superman and thought “phfft, easy!”, this is really a shonky, silly meeting of two 80s staples: the fantasy film and the superhero film, with an ever-mugging Pleasance looking as of he’s ready for knock-off time. Those flying sequences though… stunning.
