Pumaman (1980)

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I have been watching terrible movies for a while and to be honest, this movie was loads of fun and was immediately saved by one scene. I won't go into details about this scene but it is quite magical when you watch it. Pumaman is a Terrible excuse as a movie, Terrible camera quality, Bad dubbing and terrible effects. But it also has elements that makes a good-bad film. It has that one Laugh-out-loud scene that makes the movie an instant classic for people like me. It is very obvious that the budget was really low, but I never thought that it could look this awful. It is really an achievement. This movie actually reminds me of the terrible movie call "Manos, the hands of fate". It looks like crap, was dubbed a lot and was really boring except a couple scenes. I actually prefer this movie to manos though. It's pacing is a bit better, There isn't awkward music over the whole movie. It's awful but watchable. It has some classic moments that really save it from being one of the worst movies ever. I give it a 2 because the 1 rating should be reserved for the least entertaining and terrible movies.

So bad in a good way. Never a dull moment. Well revived by MST3K. One of the funniest episodes. Too many good quotes. It felt like a spoof for superhero movies. The hypnosis of the girl at the beginning felt a little creepy. The villain was like a bond villain. What else can I say really? watch it you won't regret it unlike some of the movies in IMDb bottom 100. Having said all those good things about this movie you would wonder if it deserves to be in the bottom 100. The answer is yes but i'm really tempted to say no. However I may have lost my objectivity as I watched worse movies than this and got used to this kind of thing.

I really liked this movie, and so does my 7 year old sister, and she doesn't have a very long attention span. The special effects honestly aren't that bad. Of course they're not as good as Richard Donner's Superman, that one had millions of dollars poured into it. The synth score is wonderful, and I constantly hum it. The trampoline effects were nice too. What I really liked about this film is how even though the budget wasn't as big, they still found ways to work around it. Don't compare this to the big budget Superman, and just look at it as it's own movie. MST3K was very unfair to this movie, and I don't think it deserves to be on the worst movies list. It's really a shame that Walter George Alton quit acting, because he was a perfect underdog role. He was believable as an ordinary guy who DISCOVERS the power within himself. Miguel Ángel Fuentes was wonderful as a mentor. Even though it's dated, it's a great movie for all ages.

"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
