A combination of James Bond and Batman,
with an obvious homage to the Mexican luchador films. This 'guilty pleasure'
picture is full of noisy action, wrestling, double crosses, beautiful
babes, explosions and lots of fun. A comic-book styled superhero named
Superargo (played by Italian stuntman/actor Giovanni Cianfriglia aka Ken
Wood) challenges megalomaniac madman Diabolicus (Gerard Tichy) and fighting-diva
girlfriend (Loredana Nusciak) are stealing and stockpiling uranium in
a plan to take over the world.
For
the sequel, displaced American actor Guy Madison (Wild Bill Hickok,
TV 1951-1959) is the quirky new villain, Professor Wendland Wond. His
goal is world domination with the help of remote-controlled robots, specifically
designed to rob banks. Seemingly, Professor Wond has been abducting champion
wrestlers and converting them into his personal army of cyber soldiers,
so government authorities reluctantly recruit wrestling hero Superargo
to stop the mayhem.
