Watch Pumaman For Free

How sad is this?

Good movie but grossly overrated

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Low-budget film about a young man given a mystical medallion by an Aztec shaman, in order to become a puma-empowered champion like his father before him. In trying to initially locate the young man, the shaman has the nasty habit of pushing candidates out of windows to test them.If not for "Mystery Science Theater", this film would probably have been forgotten. As of now (2015), the film was released on VHS, but never DVD. The VHS tapes actually got for a fairly high price online. There must be some kind of a demand.And, you know, despite being a bad movie, it is a fun bad movie. And many folks (myself included) love Italian horror / fantasy / adventure films. It would be great to see this film released on DVD or even Blu-ray, cleaned up with some sort of information on its creation and the director.

"The Puma Man" is a gloriously incompetent, cheesy, bizarrely entertaining and totally decadent Superhero Movie knock-off like only those wacky Southern Europeans could make them. Like its Spanish equivalent "Supersonic Man", "The Puma Man" is such an atrociously bad film that you should probably better just avoid it, unless of course you have an eccentric sense of humor or unless you have a weakness for totally bonkers and inept European exploitation cinema from the late 70's/early 80's. Puma Man is presumably the lames superhero in history. First of all, it actually takes an awful long time before the Puma Man – in every day life he's named Professor Tony Farms - discovers and acknowledges that he is, in fact, the Puma Man! His friends and foes are more aware of his powerful capacities than he is and they even have to conduct experiments to convince him; like throwing his ass out of a third storey apartment window only to prove that he will land on his feet. Puma Man's mentor Vadinho, a giant native Indian type of guy who obviously has some oppressed homosexual desires, is undoubtedly a lot stronger and powerful than the superhero himself. He can prevent cars from leaving with his bare hands, for Christ's sake! Why would he need the help of the Puma Man? In fact, this is the only superhero movie where the mentor/sidekick character actually has to do all the important work himself, as the titular hero is always unavailable for some reason. Either he's running away from his responsibilities or he's captured by his nemesis. Since my mates and I spent so much time hysterically laughing at this film, we didn't had the chance to follow much of the actual "plot", but it has something to do with Puma boy and his pal – who's actually an Aztec Priest – trying to prevent the ultra evil Donald Pleasance (who else?) from stealing a golden mask that provides mind controlling power. Speaking of Donald Pleasance… Yup, here he is again in yet another embarrassing supporting role as the mighty and powerful evil genius; a typecast role he's forever associated to ever since depicting the most legendary of all Ernst Stavro Blofelds in the James Bond classic "You Only Live Twice". The plot remains rather vague and evasive regarding what exactly Kobras' wicked intentions are. World domination, I presume, since they all want that, but how exactly is unclear. The Puma Man's superhero outfit is pathetic, with a miserable red cape and a costume that isn't even tight around the crotch like it ought to be. He flies like a hummingbird under alcoholic influence – whoever knew pumas flew, by the way? – and he has the annoying power to spontaneously appear in peoples' cars. That has got to be so dangerous. In case you haven't figured it out yet, "The Puma Man" is a bad and utterly cheesy Italian trash production that should only be endured by the fans of this peculiar type of cinema. There's shabby music, terribly written dialogs, inferior acting performances and a total lack of really exciting action sequences. You'd have to be crazy to even like this film. I love it

As I've said before, you've just got to love those wacky Italians and some of their wacky cinematic "achievements". The Puma Man (or The Pumaman as the title card indicates) tells the story of Professor Tony Farms (Walter George Alton) who reluctantly accepts his superhero birthright. A direct descendant of extraterrestrials, he is given the power of the puma (Until I watched this movie, I had no idea that pumas could fly? Who knew?) so that he might defend the secrets of the Aztecs. One of those secrets, a golden mask that grants its possessor the power of mind control, has been stolen by the evil Kobras (Donald Pleasance). With his Aztec guide Vadinho (Miguel Angel Fuentes), The Puma Man must put a stop to Kobras' plans of world domination.It might be screwy, but I can't help but enjoy parts of The Puma Man. The movie comes across like a twisted, no-budget mix of Superman and the U.S. television series "The Greatest American Hero". From the superhero costume that includes brown slacks straight off the rack at Sears to the poorly done rear projection special effects to the repetitive (but admittedly catchy) Casio keyboard soundtrack to the Christmas ornament-like space ship, it's obvious that the budget on The Puma Man was less that what I spent on dinner last night. But the odd thing is, regardless of how cheap looking most of the movie is, it's got a charm to it that money can't buy. And while that doesn't necessarily make The Puma Man a great movie or anything, on occasion the movie overcomes its many faults (or it might be because of these faults) and is often quite fun. The acting isn't much to write home about. Pleasance proves he could be a scene-chewer without equal. His insistence on pronouncing "puma" as "pyuma" is hysterical. Our would-be hero, Alton, is generally ineffectual. The female lead, played by Sydne Rome, while reasonably attractive, doesn't display much in the way of acting skills either. Still, given the material they're given to work with, the entire cast is serviceable. But probably the best thing I can say about The Puma Man is that it's not dull. In fact, it's well paced and generally entertaining throughout its runtime. And as I've argued so many times, entertainment is the single most important thing to me when watching movies.Compared with most everyone else on IMDb, my rating for The Puma Man sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe I enjoy it for all the wrong reasons, but whatever it is, I do enjoy it.

We're all familiar with this old chestnut. Somebody finds a magic amulet, or discovers that they are descended from aliens or gods, or has an accident involving radioactive material, and they become transformed. They are granted fantastic powers and transformed into a super-human. The can choose to become a hero, an altruistic paragon making the world a better place, or they can take up their will to power and use their superhuman might at the expense of all others.Or, they can become Puma Man. Whiny, pathetic, cowardly, unintelligent, and above all woefully incompetent, Puma Man doesn't represent a single character so much as a statistical inevitability. Not every person who happens to have a great-grandfather from Asgard or parents from Alpha Centauri or a run-in with a radioactive arthropod will be inherently a cunning mover and shaker with the will to effect change in the world. Many people, if given the power of telekinesis, would just fetch the remote and expose certain people's underwear. No amount of physical or supernatural might can replace good old fashioned dedication to a cause, and not everyone has the guts to risk life and limb to battle for supremacy of the world.To find out "What would happen if your mooching, high-school drop out older cousin became a superhero", I direct you to watch "Puma Man".If you want to actually see somebody who isn't overshadowed by his vaguely ethnic faithful companion, leave this film alone.
