Sammy's Super T-Shirt

My son loved this movie so much, we had to make a Sammy's Super T-Shirt for him to wear, involving freeze-framing it on the VHS player, copying the picture, then reproducing it on a white t-shirt using wash-proof clothing dyes. He loved it. Why is the movie so good? It is a children's movie, made to capture the imagination of children and demonstrating that within each of us there is an ability to succeed if the effort is put in (which may not be true, but, hey, you'll never know if you don't try). Sammy is no different to Raiders of the Lost Ark, except for budget. You may say this is ridiculous, but I saw the looks on my son's and his friend's faces as they watched a movie made for them. Target market - a 100% hit.

I loved this film when I was 5 years old. They took the school on a trip to the movies. Very English. I liked the sound effects. I used to dream of having a super T-shirt. I managed to find the full movie on You Tube. Still worth the watch 35 years later.

Sammy's Tiger T-shirt made its way into a factory where a man was carrying out experiments on textiles to make them indestructible. Sammy and his friend sneak into the lab and try to get the shirt back. They accidentally set off the machine. The shirt gets zapped by radiation that gives it superpowers. Sammy and his friend escape but the men from the factory chase after them and try to get the shirt back.

For about the past 10 years I have been trying to figure out whether this was a real movie or just something I imagined when I was very little. After hours spent on the internet, I found that dozens of other people remember the same things about this movie that I did. It's about some kid that gets powers from a shirt with a tiger on it and races. I really want to see this movie again, seeing as I remember basically nothing about it, but I gave it a 10 out of 10 just for actually existing. I really hope that it will eventually get a release on VHS or DVD! For those interested it does have its own website (the URL I don't remember) but the site is really great.

I used to love this movie, and would equally love to see it again. When I was in the 1st grade (1979-1980), my school's t-shirt had a lion's face on the front as our mascot. I used to constantly pretend that it WAS Sammy's super t-shirt. The only thing I couldn't do was run backwards, like the skid that stole it in the movie and put it on backwards. I don't remember too much of it since I haven't seen it in the last 25 years or so, but I just remember as a kid being totally into it. It was 70's kid television at it's best. Anyway, if anyone is interested in selling a copy, I'd be all about logging into PayPal to make it happen.

A young boy has his faviorate t-shirt accidently electricuted giving him special super powers when he wears it. It helps him overcome bullies and win some running races, but when the t-shirt loses its power he has to belive in himself to win the final important race. Very silly and dated but great fun. A little predictable and very simialr to Teen Wolf 1 and 2 however i watched this film when i was very young because of the tiltle but it soon became one of my faviorates. I wish i could see it again but the chances of that seem very slim now. post me if anyone see's it.
