7/10
Totally brilliant, campy, jungle trash!
5 April 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Fantastic opening credits with coloured lights and the 'Supermen' logos...

Brad Harris stars as Brad, one of the three supermen, along with Martin and Dick (a mute who 'talks' weird and makes silly faces). They have to go into the jungle to stop some pesky Russians from obtaining land rich with uranium. Martin and Dick are being held prisoners by some sheikhs (?) and are about to be put to death by spikes up their bottoms so Brad is forced to rescue them (leaving his wedding to get there), first by rocket and then by some underground vehicle with a large drill bit.

Once in the (stock footage of stampeding elephants) jungle which looks more like a forest, the men meet an old guy who has a map to the uranium and they go off together in a jeep. They stop off for a swim in a lake and meet Jungla, a queen of a tribe of white chicks in bikinis. Meanwhile the Russians meet the owners of the land and try to buy it off them with gold, they don't like that but do like their offering of party toys, and dance around madly, blowing little plastic trumpets (actually everybody in this film dances at some point). The Russians along with the tribe attack the 'Supermen', but their red suits are invincible to the bullets, spears and arrows - Jungla and co help out, which leads to a pointless cat-fight with the Russian girl losing most of her clothes!

The men then end up about to be cooked by Jungla and her tribe, Martin as a cake, Dick as soup in a large pot and Brad roasted on a fire. The death by cuisine is called off when a witch doctor announces that Jungla wants to marry Brad. Next thing the girls of the tribe are doing a campy dance number and all the men are canoodling with chosen women (Jungla wants to 'devour Brad with kisses' in her tent).

It all ends up with car chases, more fight scenes, double crosses, triple crosses and Brad dressed as a Chinese man. Absolutely brilliant, I couldn't ask for more in a film which was a mixture of super heroes, daft comedy, cave girls, rubber crocodiles and campy costumes. And (!) a superb soundtrack by Sante Romitelli.
