Super Fuzz (1980)
2/10
Super fun, but Super bad.
31 July 2020
Miami cop Dave Speed (Terence Hill) gets covered in a red powder in the Everglades due to a radioactive rocket exploding above him which gives him superman like powers with the colour red proving to be his Kryptonite. He uses his new found powers to bring down Torpedo (Marc Lawrence), a gangster laundering counterfeit money.

A super popular Italian classic (original title POLIZIOTTO SUPERPIÙ) is one of Hill's best loved films (here without regular buddy Bud Spencer), but is filled with cheap slapstick and dreadful set pieces. It has to be admired for its sheer schutzpah with sidekick Ernest Borgnine flying round on a giant piece of bubblegum or Hill accidentally shooting the rocket in the sky above him that gives him his super powers. A couple of old Hollywood stars: Lawrence and Joanne Dru, as well as Borgnine slum it here. The title tune is lively, will most definately have its fans and has some decent Miami locations.
