three supermen in the olympics
29 April 2013
i don't know how to put it but there are certain things in life which we all would agree is to be unnecessarily absurd and almost surrealistically idiotic.

well, this movie is one of them. no significant plot, disruptive editing, awful sense of humor, snitched soundtrack, dreadful dubbing over Italian actors gives you a total Z-grade movie. dialogue doesn't make sense and low budget costumes/fx are disturbingly bad. in total its a shame that they were allowed to shoot this bulk at all.

as for those who took 80s cinema seriously, this film is the second installment in 'Supermen' series by Italian director italo martinegli. 3 guys in costume, with the time machine they stole in the first movie, goes back in time to ancient ephesus, olympics. to do what? no one knows. meanwhile, there is additional treachery, jumping over people, horses and columns going over. from ancient anatolia to unearthly creatures, it just loses it in a few minutes.

there is a big problem with the film, unlike its predecessor, it tries too hard to be funny. wordplay is lost in translation; mimics and gestures are out of sync. i believe lsd was still publicly available in turkey in 80s.

i give it 1 out of 10. just because there is no 0 or - in the system.
