This entertaining and amusing filmwith a twisted plotline blending Mexican masked wrestler with Euro-spy sub-genre in James Bond style . This is a humdrum adaptation based on comic books , as Italian Fumetti , and superhero movies from a screenplay taking parts here and there ; as the plotline lifts some scenes from previous films . This is a pretty fun superhero movie , though packs absurd situations , a lot of fights and cheesy frames . The story is of a superhero called "Superargo", a hunk who suffers depression due to accidentally killing an opponent on the ring, as he dresses like a wrestler using his superhuman abilities and goes out to vanquish powerful enemies . Atmospheric as well as ridiculous at times , super hero movie containing bemusing scenes when appears the bouncing He-man and takes place his confrontation to nasty hoodlums in some divertingly made scenes , including primitive special effects . And it packs too much action , but especially this thrilling Eurospy film delivers long shootouts and spectacular struggles . As this superhero possesses mighty powers such as sensational strength , getting lifting impressive objects , throwing weapons and anything else , all of them being recreated by means of traditional effects . It's full of style, with an attractive developing with plenty of twists and turns , surprising happenings , intrigue enough , rousing soundtrack and a linear and very smooth script . This is an Italian/Spanish from the 60's , that's why here shows up Spanish actor as Monica Randall , Francisco Castillo , the Spaniard nationalited Gerard Tichy and Italians as Ken Wood , Emilio Messina , Massimo Righi and Loredana Nusciak of classic Spaghetti Western Django . As Superargo was played by bodybuilder and former Steve Reeves double , actually named Giovanni Cianfriglia and nicknamed as Ken Wood who was a regular stunt and starred some Spaghetti Westerns and action movies.
It contains a colorful cinematography in Eastmancolor and Chronoscope by Francisco Marin . Shot on location in coast of Barcelona , Girona and Estudios Balcázar, Barcelona, Spain and Incir De Paolis Studios, Rome, Lazio, Italy. Nick Nostro's direction is professionally crafted , here he is more inclined toward action . He directed this passable action film , a genre in which he would not only excel but one where he would spent much of the rest of his career , as he directed all kinds of genres , most of them co-produced with Spain : Italian crime/mystery as "Web of Violence" , "Operation Counterspy" , "Vendetta at Sorrento" , "Superargo Against Diabolicus" ; Peplum as "Triumph of the Ten Gladiators" , ¨Spartacus and 10 gladiators¨ and Spaghetti as "One Dollar of Fire" and Day After Tomorrow¨ also titled ¨One After Another or ¨Von Django¨ . Rating : 5.5/10. Acceptable and passable.
