Kalimán en el siniestro mundo de Humanón (1976) User Reviews

Stop the presses for this outlandishly fun potboiler based on the famous Mexican comic book hero.

[TheVid · 20 January 2004]

This silly movie has a couple of worthwhile moments to make it worth a look. First is the Rio location photography at the beginning; but the best thing is the chief villain's sidekick. A simpering octogenarian named Perfecto. I just loved Perfecto in his big scene where he's ordered to bend over and take a kick in the ass from his evil boss for attempting to think. Now on DVD for those looking for something truly different. Way better than THE HULK and DAREDEVIL flicks!

Holy Frijoles!

I got this with a heap of DVDs at the local .99c store. What a find! The impossibly righteous Kaliman (think Dr. Strange in Hadji drag, driving a Mustang) saves the day from various oddball threats.

I won't try to outline the whole stew, but if you like your fantasy fare served up with a heaping dash of the absurd, then this is the ticket! The scene where Rio beach babes lust after a guy wearing a white turban and silk pajamas, is worth the price of admission.

There's no way any gringo out there will be able to guess ahead in this baby! By the time you meet the villain, El Perfecto, in his jungle lair, your mind will be well and truly refried.

Try to find the .99c version like I did, you'll feel like you've kicked butt on DVD rip-offs for $29.00!
