Okay, I thought with Lee Majors, maybe this movie had some credibility. At least the guy is still working even though it's a c-movie. Yeah, the lead is not appealing in any respects, but hey, it's a c-movie. The effects are awful. Who knows, one of the actors might get a really good role in a major film, and we can all say, remember when...I think an old rerun of the 6 million dollar man or the bionic woman would be better, or even an old Wonder Woman episode.The physical therapy was laughable. The hospital looked like an office building. The faraway speed shots looked good, but the close-ups sucked. The funniest thing that I saw was when Python came in and shot the staff. One of the extras looked up at the blood after he fell down as if he wanted to see if he did it right. I liked the Python get-up and if I was the actor, I would have milked the part for all it was worth.It was Sunday, and there was nothing on, so I had it on in the background while I was working. But I just had to leave a comment. I gave it an extra star for Majors.
Well the box looked good, should be a good movie right?This movie is such a knockoff of The Flash and it is also surprisingly violent.This is NOT a movie to show children. It is very bloody.The acting is rather boring except for a few actors.I was also disappointed in the Lightspeed suit. It was basically a ski speed suit with white markings on it. Blah.Nothing more than a SciFi made for TV movie.Skip it.I'd say rent or buy the old Flash TV series... it's a lot better!
I know Sci-Fi Channel loves to air the worst sci-fi movies they can find, but they've outdone themselves with this garbage! OMG, it's not just bad, it is stupid! The low budget Captain America and Spider-Man TV movies in the 80s had more imagination and style than this bowl of chum. Everythting about it was a joke: The stars, the story, the characters, the dialogue, the direction, the not-very-special effects and most of all that ridiculous costume! Sure, every superhero with a bad comb over walks into a sporting goods shop and throws together their costume. Connery looked like a member of some gay stage show. Jason's dad would be rolling over in his grave if he was dead -- and seeing his son in THIS may kill him.If you want to see a good show about a guy with super speed, skip this vat of pee and pick up the DVDs of the Flash TV series from the 90s. It's a HELL of a lot more netertaining. jk90
This was the worst movie I have seen on sci-fi and they are notorious for producing the worst movies ever.I cannot believe Stan lee put his name on this but after seeing who wants to be a superhero I now know.I will start with the plot. Flash meets Darkman nuff said, nothing original. Casting, our lead hero has a comb over and looks like he's pushing 50 plus. The henchman look like no-budget porn extras. And the effects were ridiculous, even the Flash TV series from 16 years ago had better effects. If this was made in the 1950's that would explain the really bad special effects. The story and dialog you can imagine is par with the rest of the production value. Okay the worst thing was our hero's costume, he goes to a sporting goods store and the salesman goes in the back and gets his suit, that's it. And it looks like a costume from a homemade comic book fan movie. I would say I liked the python character until his comical fight scenes.Watching QVC is more entertaining.
