Super Fuzz

That was Dave Speed's brilliant explanation for the loss of his superpowers.

I am ashamed to admit I spent most of the summer of 1985 watching this after I'd taped it on HBO. Those precious days will never return, but at least watching Superfuzz was better than real life for me back in 85.

All these years later, to this day, I can sing you the theme song. Now I just need to convince my wife to watch it (5-10 minutes will do).

I give it a 7 just because the pre-adolescent in me deserves a voice too.

I bought this movie for a buddy, we were both kids when we watched this film originally. so of course I had to watch it again.

I had mostly forgotten it until the scene -- Dave speed can't shoot an alligator, so holds his gun into the air and shoots (I guess to scare the alligator). He shoots a Nuclear missile (which happened to be flying past), which then explodes giving him his super powers--- later...

Next he has figured out he has powers--he makes a truck roll backwards, using his new telekinetic powers, then (and the facial expressions are great for a laugh) he uses his powers to push it sideways into a parallel parking spot. (Background singers) "Super Superrrr!!!" Hilarious back then--even funnier now though, retrospectively.

Worth watching for the dubbing, acting, music, and possibly the most hilarious special effects you will ever see. Is it pure comedy, or is it ALL just terrible? You'll have fun deciding.

I especially liked the "underwater" scene where the sweat was beading off Ernest Borgnine's forehead as he floated to the surface with Super Fuzz on the giant bubble. Now that's comedy. Enjoy!

I was very happy to find this movie for sale after years of searching. Super Fuzz was my favorite movie as a child and I got to see it lots of times since HBO played it every other day in the 1980s. It is not Oscar material or a movie worth owning in most peoples' eyes. The acting is pretty average, the story silly, and the cinematography bland. It is in my collection because of all the 1980s memories it brings back and has a pretty cool theme song.

I remember first watching this film way back when it was in heavy rotation on HBO in the early 80s. This was long before I discovered Terence Hill's Spaghetti Westerns like My Name Is Nobody and his Trinity films. I certainly didn't know anything about Sergio Corbucci's impressive body of work. What I did know was that Terence Hill and Ernest Borgnine made for a lot of laughs. The film was never meant to be taken seriously. That should be obvious from the title alone. It's a parody. It's slapstick. It's fun.

If you're not into that sort of thing you probably won't like the film. Of course, if you're not into that sort of thing I don't know why you'd be watching a film called Super Fuzz to begin with.

If you have a sense of humor and enjoy films like Police Academy and Trinity, you'll probably enjoy Super Fuzz.
