The Three Fantastic Supermen

Bright red superhero fun with Brad Harris and Tony Kendall

Between two adventures of the KOMMISSAR X Franchise, successful producer Theo Maria Werner had his two stars Harris and Kendall travel to beautiful Yugoslavia to shoot a quick superhero fun. With Aldo Canti (1941-1990), the third member of the group, equipped with superpowers and in a bright red costume, he goes against a money counterfeiting ring that has a lot more in store. So the three Sonnyboys have to deal with a professor (Carlo Tamberlani) and his lovely daughter Zizi (Bettina Busch), who have made a great invention. The professor's device can duplicate people and objects. It's just a shame that the criminal gang around the crazy golem (Jochen Brockmann) also got wind of it. But luckily our three supermen aren't far away...

What fun! Action and funny sayings alternate every ten seconds. Everything is there, especially Aldo Canti's many trampoline jumps are really fun. Otherwise, the three smart buddies are well coordinated with each other. The busy Tony Kendall is once again able to bring all the ladies (Rossella Bergamonti, Gloria Paul, Sabine Sun) into the horizontal position. The giant Brad Harris flexes his muscles as usual and is the most sensible of the three as an FBI agent. And the good Aldo Canti comes across as a bit obtuse, but he fights and jumps so that it's a real joy. The brave three receive support in the action scenes from Jeff Cameron and Sal Borgese.

The film by genre veteran Gianfranco Parolini (THIS TIME I WILL MAKE YOU RICH), shot entirely in Yugoslavia, was successful enough that several sequels with the three supermen were to follow.
