From the director of Pieces comes another film that is exactly what you think it is.
An extra-terrestrial being (Antonio Cantafora - Demons 2) is sent to earth to save it from evil genius Dr. Gulik, (Cameron Mitchell - Blood and Black Lace) intent on using his army of henchmen, a killer robot, and unstoppable weapons to bring the world to its knees. Our hero arrives just as a top scientist (José María Caffarel - Ricco: the Mean Machine) is kidnapped and sets his sights on protecting his daughter Patricia (Diana Polakov - The People Who Own the Dark), who is next on the hit list. Using both his secret identity and super hero alter-ego, Supersonic (José Luis Ayestarán - Conan the Barbarian) thwarts the villain at every turn until the final showdown!
A (mostly) family friendly homage to Superman and Star Wars from Juan Piquer Simón, the director responsible for Pieces and Slugs is everything you could want from this kind of film… A soaring soundtrack, countless miniatures, wild optical FX, flame throwing robots, sharks, and of course, a guy in tights saving the girl and the day! Famously ridiculed by RiffTrax, Cauldron Films unironically brings you a brand new 2K restoration from the interpositive that is going to be your next obsession of campy cult cinema. Now available for the first time on Blu-ray, this limited edition release also includes new interviews, a full color booklet with liner notes, and Cauldron Crypt bandolier. May the force of the galaxies go with you!
