U.S. Catman: Lethal Track (1990)
One half of the movie follows a guy named Sam and his friend Gus. Sam gets scratched by a radioactive cat in a fight with some wacky drug addicts and achieves amazing super powers. He then puts on a stupid costume and decides to fight some bad guys using his new powers, including a crazed priest named Cheever. The other half of the movie is a about a whole bunch of Asian people that are just beating each other up for no reason, including a tall guy with an eyepatch and a woman that looks like a man. They have no real purpose in the movie, and seem to just be throw in.

Crappy film
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
...and everything you shall have as long as you maintain a relatively high alcohol to blood ratio for the next 90 minutes. See, the Catman series was bred through the glorious days of Hollywood tax shelters. No one wanted to make money here, actually profit was a detriment, so only truth survived. I kid, as there is no truth here, only a mixed up story of radioactive cats, recreational baseball players & gunfights.I don't lie when I give this a 7...though it does take a little helping hand to get there. Turn down the volume, throw on your mix album of choice (mine are "2 many dj's" or "Spank Rock") & rock out. With original soundtrack intact we're looking at a 3.2 or so. Good luck & let me know
Well this is one movie that I stumbled upon. A friend of mine sold me a bunch of dvds and Catman was one of them. The plot seems to jump from one point to another. First we have a guy named Sam who gets scratched by a radioactive cat, thus giving him superhuman powers. Next the plot jumps to a girl who looks like a boy who drives a dirtbike and has a shotgun. Than, the story goes to a group of Asian rebels at war with a group criminals led by a guy with an eyepatch. Sam or Catman, however goes into battle with a priest named Cheever. I found it overall to be an amusing effort to throw a movie together with a small budget. I would recommend it to those who like strange, cheap budget movies. But thats just my views.
I'm not quite sure why this movie was made. Even a mediocre film student would have hung his head in shame with this effort. This was apparently two different movies shot at two different times with two different casts, which neither was strong enough to prop itself into a corner to support itself alone.It wasn't even entertaining which, at the end of the day, is about the only reason that an action/adventure movie is made.Kudos to the director and editor for having the guts to slap these pieces of film together, although they had no storyline, acting, visual appeal, or even anything in common with each other. Also credit must be given to the company which made the blender into which the film must have been thrown for editing.
I HOPE you are kidding by saying that this movie is great. I mean, don't get me wrong, it is fun in an MST3K sort of way... but to actually say this is a good movie in print, well, that could get you sued for libel. I mean, this movie SUCKED in every sense of the word and to make matters worse, it told two completely separate stories that didn't even connect! What was with Catman's secret weapon? It looked like concentrated cat urine! I don't even know what this movie was supposed to be about. Davis Lynch couldn't follow this crap plot. On the other hand, it is enjoyable to watch because of all the bad lines, horrible acting, lame special effects, and the overall guano story. Bottomline: Pick this up if you want a good, cheap laugh. In the words of the great Tom Servo, "Still, it's a better movie than Batman and Robin."
