Superwheels (1975)
4/10
One of the Worst

In the series of 5 DuDu/Superbug movies,this ranks as one of the lowest.To think the high water mark was the previous film (Superbug Rides Again) and then this entry comes along to totally sully the Dudu genre.Most of the actors from Dudu movie #3 are in this #4 installment.Lead character Jimmy Bondi,the female lead played again by Zehetgruber's wife(here as a nun),the 2nd nun is played by Evelin Kraft(who played the leggy/long haired Jac in #3),the male/female duo from #3 (Ms Binghameir,Mr Stutzli) are back here as a comedic pair,Aldo Regazzoni is back (however Bondi isn't friends with him here as he was in #3),and Dudu the yellow Beetle is back (now though with the trunk full of computer gizmos,a net under the engine,yellow painted bumpers,and different aluminum wheels).Dudu's annoying tinny voice trying hard to make one-liners is tiring.His ability to transform into a helicopter (a rotating head pops up thru the roof...yea,where is it when its down?...and the tailrotor plugs into the hole in the engine lid the wind up key once used in film #3)is really far fetched.Actual scenes of Dudu flying is really a remote control heli,as was the actual model heli that Dudu now featured as a companion "scout" vehicle.They threw everything into this weezer,and it ranks as a sad mish mash of ideas with no common thread linking it all together.They would have done better to further the story from film #3 as Hell Drivers once again accidentally bumping into criminal activities.
