Bad news is: it's awful. Good news: it's hilarious. When I watched it I was howling with laughter for most of its running time.
The Puma Man has to be the most ridiculous superhero ever seen. In this uproarious origin story, milquetoast Tony Farms meets Vadinho, Aztec shaman with the unusual habit of defenestrating people to find a superpowered individual able to fly. Together, hero and sidekick face villain Kobra (a badly slumming Donald Pleasence), who controls a powerful ancient relic.
The funniest scenes occur when the Puma Man uses his powers and flies (why should a *Puma* Man be able to fly, I cannot say) with an exceptionally cheesy visual effect and a ludicrously inappropriate heroic music, and also when he is repeatedly saved by his strangely competent sidekick, who seems to be vastly more proficient at fighting criminals and saving the world. One has to wonder why Vadinho bothered to find the Puma Man at all.
This one deserves a 1/10, but laughs redeem it to an extent.
2/10
