Superargo and the Faceless Giants. (Rifftrax. Color. 1968, Italian.) Six minutes in and I love the movie for riffing. The era and the print are excellent—widescreen and color. Superargo is like James Bond if James Bond was psychic dressed like Batman in a tight red hoodie that’s also a onesie with no cape. Black boots, gloves and underwear. Big pentagon belt buckle. He’s a wrestler. In Italy. The faceless giants are neither faceless nor giant. Plot seems to concern “Jo Brand” and he drives a Jaguar E-type. So far the most high tech gadget has been a set of very standard walkie talkies. His origin story is really mundane. There’s Hadji from Johnny Quest. This is mst level. If Tonto were actually Indian, from India, and the Lone Ranger, aside from his black mask, some black boots and gloves was also wearing a skin tight red onesie/hoodie with black underwear on the outside and a big silver pentagon belt buckle. I wonder if that was secret agent Super Dragon under that mask? Bad guy dies in a pile of leaves. Def a top tier Rifftrax.
