An alien, "Supersonic Man," is sent to Earth to thwart the plans of evil men who would destroy the galaxy itself with their weapons. Only his superpowers, which include flight, bulletproof skin, and the ability to turn guns into bananas, can save Earth from destruction.
I acually didn't notice any plot at all. I think it was something about an angry dude (Cameron Mitchell), who has an army of robots and guys with futuristic laser guns, who wants to capture a girl for some reason. No luck for him though as the girl is protected by Supersonic Man who has two personalities. One being the normal 70's guy with pornstache and cool look. The other being a super hero dressed like a mix between a Mexican wrestler and a male stripper.
Anyone who's looking for an entertaining movie, like I was, in my opinion won't find much luck with Supersonic Man. As cool as the title sounds and as corny as the stills may look. I'll be the first to admit that the scenes where Supersonic Man flies over NY City looks cheesy and cool as fuck but i'll also be the first to admit that those scenes are pretty scarce in the first hour or so. Instead we get a lot of boring scenes of Cameron Mitchell, who looks more depressed by the minute as a result of appearing in this film, mainly sitting in his lazy chair watching his army kill one figurant after the other. It's safe to say that Supersonic Man is awfully quiet the first 60 minutes of this movie. After about 60 minutes Supersonic Man starts to get more and more screentime and only then the film starts to be what it should have been the whole 85 minutes. I mean, come on. It's way cooler to see Supersonic Man fly around, taking bullets to the chest like a boss and lifting bulldozers without any problem than watch a bored Cameron Mitchell whine about every single thing the whole time.
Supersonic Man unfortunately hasn't become the experience that I was hoping for. It's way to boring to be such. The last 15-20 minutes definitely save this film from being a disastrous failure. Priceless scenes like the one where Supersonic quickly flies to a restaurant to get some champagne for his date with a girl unfortunately are a rarity in this film. Give credits to the cheesy soundtrack though that plays whenever Supersonic Man flies around over archive footage of New York.
If you do actually decide to watch this film ---------> ''May the great force of the galaxy be with you''
Frankly I think only someone like Supersonic Man himself has enough strength to bite through this film.
