Supersonic Man is a slightly more streamlined Puma Man... He's still a really awkward, and questionable super hero, but... here he is. He's got sparkly head gear. www.rifftrax.co...
The film is an existential comment on the late 70's and how the economc policies of the Federal Reserve, symbolized by the explosions, caused people to run, the people being blue collar workers.
Kevin [singing like a southern hillbilly and in perfect sync to tune at the moment]: Oh Susanna, just what is this movie? What started out as Superman, but now its Road House 3?!
+pdlbean ME TOO! I'm glad someone mentioned it. It's one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Sometimes I even think about it at work and have to stop myself from laughing in front of everybody.
I actually thought about factoring in Donald Pleasance. I'm going to amend my answer. Puma Man is cheesier. There was no robot, but the "butt-up" flying technique is classic.
For me it's a hard call, both are Italian productions and both are dreadfully silly but it's not everyday you see a superhero in slacks and pointy Italian boots...Puma Man although this steaming pile of elephant dung called Supersonic Man is a very close second!
"If only I could reach my futility belt." Hilarious.
"Stuff blows up, guys run. Repeat 800 times!"
So...a Michal Bay film.
Bingo!
Repeat 800 times? You mean the first THIRTY MINUTES of a Michael Bay film.
"Don't worry darling. I saw this SNL sketch. He just wants old people's medicine"
"Damn combustible slight inclines..!" XD I died.

"I couldn't get laid so I'm here to help" would be my origin story.
B-b-b-b-baby you ain't seen n-n-n-n-nothin' yet!
My 3 year old walked around saying that all day... He had no idea.
Cameron Mitchell had a long and distinguished career.
Well, a long careeer.

Public domain riffs!
"If I could only reach my futility belt!"
damn it the Nic Cage "what's in the bag? A shark or something?" joke gets me every time the guys use it
pdlbean Thank you for this comment! I knew I heard that line from somewhere but couldn't remember where. My mind is at ease now!

Love the SNL reference about the meds stealing robots! XD great stuff
At least Puma Man doesn't show off his junk when in costume.
Puma Man, still not impressed. Puma Man snorts with contempt.
One of my absolute favorites. Had me laughing so hard! I finished watching it and then immediately replayed it.
Regular Low-land Satan is the master of the soft sell.
🎶 Pumaman... he flies like a moron 🎵😂😂😂 I just love that song 😂
Is that... Cameron Mitchell? Are they ALL Cameron Mitchell?
When the movie PUMA MAN still had no budget.
I certainly have had my quota of turtlenecks now.
It's amazing how well Supersonic's tacky mask completely manages to cover his porn-stache...
Aw hahaha get in their really feel the bristles this time
Ah, Cameron Mitchell: the Dollarama Tony Curtis.
Okay which is cheesier, Supersonic Man or Puma Man?
That's a difficult question. I think, as a person, Puma Man was clueless.
Supersonic is kind of suave... Both movies are really cheese-filled.
True, but I think Puma Man had the better theme. And it had Donald Pleasance in it. But never the less, both are slices of fried cheesy gold.

Oh yeah that is glorious.

Oh that pup is way to cute for this crap!
SUPERSONI-(yawns)
And is it just me or does Supersonic Man's mustache disappear when he transforms?
Totally different guy. I looked it up as soon as I first watched this. It was almost as distracting as the tractor made of ply wood.
You laugh but I WANT THAT TRACTOR!
Mondo Connie It's the perfect alter ego, a completely different person!
But I AM curious to meet him. It's complex.
Ugh I need the music in the beginning when it says "Supersonic Man" in green leters
+Mellisco Just find any random cassette where the tape started to unspool. Same difference.
This was MST3K material
the basset hound is the only likable character
There was a RoadHouse 2?
That music is appalling. Its not-quite-out-of-tune-ness makes me want to take a leap out of the window.
A bunch of reel to reels got left out in the rain!
Mondo Connie It's called "Mag Wow," ya know, dear.
