Absolutely the worst movie.
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
When many folks think about Italian movies, they think of the so-called 'Spaghetti Westerns'. However, many don't realize that the Italians made many other films in English--movies about a wide variety of topics (not just westerns or Hercules pictures). A great example is Sergio Corbucci's "Super Fuzz". While Corbucci was famous for his westerns (such as "Django" and "The Great Silence"), by 1980 he was directing many other sorts of films--including this strange cop comedy.The film finds a cop, Speed (Terence Hill) hit by a rocket containing 'red plutonium'. However, instead of instantly killing him it gives him super powers--such as ESP, telekinesis and mind control! Not surprisingly, this makes him an amazing cop--but the powers strangely come and go. Why? See this incredibly silly film to find out for yourself. Generally, I think this film would work best for kids, as it has a silly almost Disney of the 1970s style. It certainly is NOT demanding entertainment and much of it is amazingly stupid. But, interestingly, it is also rather likable if you let yourself go and laugh at it for what it is. It ain't meant as high art or the next Oscar-winner--just a silly, low-budget comedy with some very broad humor (such as the sobriety test scene and the last 15 minutes) and a theme song by The Oceans that is very catchy but is played so often that you almost become psychotic after hearing it so many times!I noticed that some called it a 'guilty pleasure' and 'agreeable nonsense'. I heartily agree!
"Trinity" film series star Mario Girotti (a.k.a. Terence Hill) headlines this amiable superhero parody which should make for decent family viewing. The jokes come fairly fast, and the performances are appropriately hammy. Ultimately, it's kind of a mixed bag; sometimes it's funny and engaging, sometimes it's silly and tiresome. But its upbeat spirit does make it rather hard to resist. It's certainly an interesting credit for the director, Sergio Corbucci, who was better known for Westerns such as "Django" and "The Great Silence". Filmed on location in Miami, it features a loud and bouncy pop score with a theme song that is catchy at first but is eventually used too much.Hill plays Dave Speed, a rookie cop partnered with weary veteran Sgt. Willy Dunlop (Ernest Borgnine). While on an assignment, Dave is showered with red dust from an atomic explosion, and thereafter acquires superpowers. He's now able to detect crime from a distance, sense elephants coming around a street corner, and catch bullets in his teeth. All of which actually kind of annoys old Willy, not to mention his sweet niece Evelyn (gorgeous Julie Gordon). But Daves' abilities come in handy when he tries to bust the counterfeiting ring run by volatile mobster Tony Torpedo (Marc Lawrence).There are some good gags in this thing, although it does wear out its welcome in the end. Still, the actors make it worth watching. Joanne Dru also stars as actress Rosy Labouche; Lee Sandman plays police chief McEnroy and put upon thug Paradise Alley is portrayed by Salvatore Borghese. Hill is very likable throughout and Borgnine is quite lively. To add to the humour, Dave finds that whenever he sees the colour red, he temporarily loses his powers. The effects are not particularly special but in something like this, that's not really much of an issue.Fans of the "Naked Gun" and "Police Academy" series might find this one to their liking.Six out of 10.
Nostalgia, its a beautiful thing but sometimes things are better left in the past. In this case I have mixed feelings but I still think this is worth watching and a little ahead of its time in the action comedy genre.As much as I remembered enjoying this movie I could only muster a small portion of that enjoyment re-watching it recently with my teenagers. My teenagers liked it, but didn't love it.However, I would still recommended watching it once, it was a fun 80's movie and I have a two more young children and when they hit their mid-late teens, I am sure I will see this again.
This was an HBO classic that I first saw when I was about 7 years old back in 1985. I loved the concept of a super powered cop at the time, and the name, Super Fuzz, was just really cool sounding to a 7 year old boy. I remember pretending to be Super Fuzz and when I saw red I would fall down just like the famous chase scene.This is great for what it is, a ridiculous cop B-movie that apparently kids from the eighties who had HBO will love and have fond memories from. However, the acting is horrible, and the story is barely there. In the end, prepare to be disappointed and have a small chunk of your childhood ruined. I re-watched it and realized I ruined the innocence of that 7 year old boy. Do yourself a favor. Don't re-watch it if you liked it once upon a time, and if you are just now watching it, then you probably are going to hate it, especially if you were born after 1982. Good Luck!
