Review of The Pumaman

The Pumaman (1980)
Has its' good moments
24 April 2007
I saw this one years ago on KYW-Channel 3 (Philadelphia) "Saturday Night Dead" with "Stella", one of the last of the old local "horror host" programs. One thing I look for in "bad" movies are flashes of talent and snippets of dialog that actually are intelligent and witty. The three I remember from this movie are the shaman's disgusted observation to his charge "You are the worst I've ever seen" but then like a strict and unyielding DI with an inept recruit, he's going to make him learn what to do, no ifs ands buts or arguments. When the reluctant hero finally accepts his fate he asks the shaman "Do these powers include invulnerability?" and is told simply "No." There's a scene where the Pumaman grabs one of the villain's henchmen and hoist him up into the sky. The villain threatens to the shoot the Pumaman who calmly tells him "Look down. You shoot me, who's going to catch you?"
