Paradox done by Nick Cage = Cult classic by a lunatic that needs to pay for his tyrannosaurus skull. Paradox done by Kevin Sorbo = An autobiographical piece by a loser Hercules with a Messiah complex.
The description of Paradox kinda reminds me of the movie "Cast a Deadly Spell" where Fred Ward plays a private detective named H. P. Lovecraft who is hired to find the Necronomicon. Paradox sounds like that concept turned up a bit.
It's been explored elsewhere, in the Lord Darcy mysteries by Randall Garrett, Heinlein's short story Magic Inc, and Poul Anderson's Operation Chaos books. Through some quirk of alternate history or variant physical laws, magic is the defacto science either on it's own or supplemented by conventional science, and applied magic takes over many of the roles of technology, as well as providing unique advantages.
I would also add japanese Spiderman or Supaidāman, who is a motocross bike racing, sub machinegun wielding Super Sentai-style hero, who fights the alien ''Iron Cross Army''. He even has his own mecha and everything. And the best part: he was officially licenced by Toei from Marvel and Supaidāman has even appeared in various off. Marvel comics & in the animated Into the Spiderverse movie.
His character became canon in the MCU. He will featured in the upcoming Into The Spiderverse movie. I think the series is much better than the 80s U.S. version which is heavily panned.
And part of the same deal that brought us that treasure also brought us the first Super Sentai series, which began as a Captain America show but quickly became its own thing!
Nightman was based off the Malibu comic, Malibu had a few other adaptations, Ultraforce which had an animated series and Hardcase and Firearm which had short films that were included with magazines to help promote their comics. But the most famous Malibu Comic that got adapted would be Men In Black which as we know had a film series and animated series.
Fun fact: Mysterious Doctor Satan was originally going to be a Superman serial, but the publisher went to another studio instead. The script was heavily retooled but you can still see the Clark, Lois, Jimmy and Perry characters in the main cast.
Nightman; he tangled with Wolverine in a comic, which means Wolverine and Manimal could've and should've had a team-up (and toss in a hacker controlled Automan just for good measure).
Thoughts: 10. Never heard of it. But it looks hilarious. 9. I love these kinds of mockbusters. 8. David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 7. Never heard of it. But it looks hilarious. 6. Oh hell yes! Neil Breen is a bad movie god!!!!!! 5. God this looks hilarious! 4. See 9. 3. I've heard of this film. It looks like enjoyable garbage 2. See 9. 1. OH HELL YES! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!! Thanks for this video, I haven't heard of half of this list, and I might check them out in the future. One film you missed was the film, Miracle Man. It's a 2013 superhero film that's like if Neil Breen directed The Amazing Bulk.
I also recommend. Super Fuzz. It's a about a traffic cop who gets super powers. Super Argo . Half James bond half super hero. Condor Man . Comic book creator becomes super hero spy.
I remember Super Fuzz! And Condorman! One of Michael Crawford's earliest roles before he became a Broadway actor and singer. My mom adored him; had all his CDs and cassettes. Believe it or not, I saw both of those movies in the theater when I was very young.
I assume you are speaking of the 1980 movie, Super Fuzz, which was directed by Sergio Corbucci who also known for directing some of the most iconic Spaghetti Westerns films. ever made. And yes, it is a memorable movie for all the right reasons and Corbucci had quite the knack for those kind of films.
@@mykelengieza7057 No, that was William Katt, who also played in the Perry Mason TV movies in the '80s (I think you can find some of those here on UA-cam), and in the movie _House,_ where he played a writer who moves into a haunted house. He played The Greatest American Hero. If they ever get around to remaking that show (there have been rumors about that for years), I hope William at least makes a cameo in the first episode. I would really dig that because I love William's work.
Stumbled onto this, and you've got a new subscriber! Great list! :-) Although I'm a little surprised that "The Return Of Captain Invincible" didn't at least get a nod in the honorable mentions. Or is it disqualified for being (arguably) deliberately bad? IMO, the two Christopher Lee musical numbers alone make it a must-watch.
I have a lot of stuff in my Independent Super Hero Section. I do count stuff like Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and TV Shows, like Greatest American Hero, Kids TV Shows like Elektra Woman and Dyna Girl, and Classics like Tarzan and Doc Savage movie. For some other Good/Bad Super Heroes, here are a few others to consider: Rat Pfink And Boo Boo (an early classic) Mystery Men Sky High Zoom Dollman Masters of the Universe Push Lucy All Superheroes Must Die Sgt. Kabukiman Toxic Avenger Rise of the Black Bat (note Black Bat predates Batman by about 4 years, although this is a modern B-movie) Valentine Also recommend various Mexican Luchadors and Japanese Costumed Heroes. There are tons of Movies I could have listed, I tried to keep it to some I liked.
Not expecting Indonesian film in here. LOL. That Rama film is so obscure, nobody i know ever heard of it. Usually if people talk about Indonesian super hero, they meant Gundala Putra Petir.
Paradox: like the premise with the 'murder committed by unknown weapon in a fantasy world' with the weapon being a gun, then I remembered that that's the plot of a Discworld novel.
7:45 "But I'll tell you it's about a paleontologist who learns the hard way that he's a supernatural Aztec demigod fathered by aliens." This sentence is one of the all-time greats. Was hoping _Superargo_ would make an appearance in the "Honorable Mentions" section. First came across it at a now defunct site called "Encyclopedia Obscura," back in the early days of the internet when this stuff was still hard to find.
I’m sorry but the Pooma Man could duff up Supersonic Man any day of the week, even if he is the worst Pooma Man I have ever seen. And where’s Kaliman? Is he still stuck in the Sinister World of Humanon?
I feel like I went on some weird fever dream watching this....what were they films??? I thought I had seen some proper crazy stuff in my 40yes on this planet but nope this video has opened up a whole rabbit hole of madness for me now to explore. Thank you 👌🏴
Holy crow! I'd forgotten about Misfits of Science! I remember watching that show for its all-too-brief run. It's too bad it was axed, I thought it was a lot of fun!
Neil breen is not misunderstood or (weirdly) under resourced, every understands that breen is a narcissist who has the acting talent of a box of matches. Im not even convinced that he wants to make a good movie, he just seems to want a vehicle to promote himself.
Narcissistic? Quite possibly, his coworkers could attest to this. I primarily see fantastically unchecked megalomania prompted by a neurotic obsession with how little he has amounted to compared to what he feels he should have amounted to (... yes, granted. many or even most of us are preoccupied with just that discrepancy (in ourselves, not in Breen!), but most of us do not become neurotically obsessed with it).
Improving Voice to Text translators are going to open a whole new world of weird bad foreign films. There's so many out there that are totally impenetrable because of the language barrier.
Puma Man got that ultra low rating because it's an MST3K movie. I've noticed that every film they've done just gets nailed with 1s because people just assume they're bad or something? It's annoying because they've done some really fun ones and you can even tell the cast is having more fun with them too.
Red letter media talked about bad superhero movies on Best of the Worst. One of them was about these guys who worked on an electrical tower and got super powers and the other was The Amazing Bulk. 😆
I've been looking for a quick and painless way of finding the episodes of Midnight man for years. I remember when it was on tv and I was never able to tape them.
There was a pilot for a Ronald D. Moore show in 2011 called 17th Precinct that seems to be based on the same comic that Paradox is, down to the story being about a bullet in a world based on magic.
2:56-Ah, those long-ago days when Nick Fury was white! The kids just don’t believe me when I talk about those days! They threaten to hold me hostage by nail gun and wrap in duct tape until I renounce my claims!
I mean Lee isn't WRONG about Hasselhoff's portrayal of Fury, it's just...the character didn't have much to it until fairly recently, he was mostly a super cool spy who was a vehicle for cool 1-liners.
Alyas Batman en Robin stars Joey de Leon as Batman, Panchito as Penguin and Rene Requiestas as Joker, which was a direct throwback from the 1960's Batman TV series. Joey de Leon also stars in another superhero comedy film She-Man: Mistress of the universe, a parody of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon, he plays a titular drag clad superheoine armed with his/her magic sword that can morphed into an umbrella and a shotgun!😂😆😁
What’s funny was that Joey’s film was supposedly titled just “Batman en Robin” but Warner Bros. ordered them to change the title to avoid copyright infringement
The robot in 'Deathless Devil' is still more convincing than the one in 'Adventures of Chris Fable', and that was made forty years later. Not so much the one in 'Rama' though - but again, thirty-five years.
"Pu-ma-man, he flies like a dork now."
That Paradox' "Churchill with excalibur fighting Hitler" premise deserve mainstream Hollywood blockbuster.
Honestly looks better than Heroes, which to be fair isn't that hard.
Paradox done by Nick Cage = Cult classic by a lunatic that needs to pay for his tyrannosaurus skull.
Paradox done by Kevin Sorbo = An autobiographical piece by a loser Hercules with a Messiah complex.
Sounds like something out of an alternative version of ALEXKANSAS/Mr. Manticore's "Monument Mythos."
Looks like a plot from paradox interactive (yes, there a video developer studio with this name)
Hollywood would fuck it up and have have bad actors and some awful "woke" storyline.
The description of Paradox kinda reminds me of the movie "Cast a Deadly Spell" where Fred Ward plays a private detective named H. P. Lovecraft who is hired to find the Necronomicon. Paradox sounds like that concept turned up a bit.
Plus the cast of Cast A Deadly Spell is great. Fred Ward, David Warner, Julianne Moore, Clancy Brown. A surprisingly good film.
Paradox premise actually sounds really interesting.
Agreed. In the right hands I think it could make a really fun movie.
dude that's exactly what I thought...lol
It's been explored elsewhere, in the Lord Darcy mysteries by Randall Garrett, Heinlein's short story Magic Inc, and Poul Anderson's Operation Chaos books.

Indeed
Cool
Seeing ANY NEIL BREEN film a half dozen times can't be good for ones sanity!
If you've seen a Neil Breen movie more times than Neil Breen has... idk what to tell you lol
Once is more than enough. So bad theyre brilliant and so funny.
Neil Breen.... Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.... *kills himself*
Should've Included the Turkish Film-3 Dev Adam, Which Teamed Up Spiderman, Mexican Wrestler El Santo, and Captain America.
Thrilled to see Puma Man in this list. Still one of my favorite MST3K episodes ever produced!
Gotta write "Puma Man Rules" on the bathroom wall
I would also add japanese Spiderman or Supaidāman, who is a motocross bike racing, sub machinegun wielding Super Sentai-style hero, who fights the alien ''Iron Cross Army''. He even has his own mecha and everything.
And the best part: he was officially licenced by Toei from Marvel and Supaidāman has even appeared in various off. Marvel comics & in the animated Into the Spiderverse movie.
I like it when he fights the crocodile.
His character became canon in the MCU. He will featured in the upcoming Into The Spiderverse movie. I think the series is much better than the 80s U.S. version which is heavily panned.
This is a list of good-bad movies.
Supaidaman is straight up good.
And part of the same deal that brought us that treasure also brought us the first Super Sentai series, which began as a Captain America show but quickly became its own thing!
God Bless Mystery Science Theatre 3000 for making The Pumaman watchable. Loved this list. Thank you.

Nightman was based off the Malibu comic, Malibu had a few other adaptations, Ultraforce which had an animated series and Hardcase and Firearm which had short films that were included with magazines to help promote their comics. But the most famous Malibu Comic that got adapted would be Men In Black which as we know had a film series and animated series.
Marvel Comics Group bought Malibu Comics in the 90s which is a terrible mistake.
We all know that Nightman was the fighter of the Dayman.
5:49 the company's name... I can't stop laughing. "I can assure you , we don't make those kind of adult films"🤣
What a fantastic list. I can only imagine the volume of duds you had to sit through to curate your book. I'm ordering it right now.
Hope you enjoy it!
@@TheBadMovieBible did you know there's alternative music to Supersonic man a disco track
The music in supersonic man is actually catchy! Along with Puma man, it’s one of the best double features from mst3k and rifftrax.
Paradox: How can you have Hercules and Teal'C on the same movie and not do a badass story with those guys?
This
Fun fact: Mysterious Doctor Satan was originally going to be a Superman serial, but the publisher went to another studio instead. The script was heavily retooled but you can still see the Clark, Lois, Jimmy and Perry characters in the main cast.
Oh Rob I love you so much 😂 this made my day and it's only 9:30am
Haha, thank you kindly, John.
3:34 I like that special effect very much.
I love how they do everything they can to sell it with the camera.
Nightman; he tangled with Wolverine in a comic, which means Wolverine and Manimal could've and should've had a team-up (and toss in a hacker controlled Automan just for good measure).
I would have paid to see that. 😂
Thoughts:
10. Never heard of it. But it looks hilarious.
9. I love these kinds of mockbusters.
8. David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
7. Never heard of it. But it looks hilarious.

Excellent list! I'm so glad I found this channel!
There’s also a Bangladeshi superman film and a Turkish superman film! The Telugu and Hindi superman films are both from India.
One day I'm going to make a video just about superhero movies from this reason. One day...
I would rather sweep the streets with my eyelashes than watch anything featuring Kevin Sorbo.
Stumbled onto this, and you've got a new subscriber! Great list! :-)
Although I'm a little surprised that "The Return Of Captain Invincible" didn't at least get a nod in the honorable mentions. Or is it disqualified for being (arguably) deliberately bad? IMO, the two Christopher Lee musical numbers alone make it a must-watch.
The Return Of Captain Invincible is amazing.
"This is a low budget, over two hour long, Bangladeshi musical, with no subtitles. So it may not be for everyone."
That... Is putting it lightly.
I have a lot of stuff in my Independent Super Hero Section. I do count stuff like Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and TV Shows, like Greatest American Hero, Kids TV Shows like Elektra Woman and Dyna Girl, and Classics like Tarzan and Doc Savage movie.
For some other Good/Bad Super Heroes, here are a few others to consider:
Rat Pfink And Boo Boo (an early classic)
Mystery Men
Sky High
Zoom
Dollman
Masters of the Universe
Push
Lucy
All Superheroes Must Die
Sgt. Kabukiman
Toxic Avenger
Rise of the Black Bat (note Black Bat predates Batman by about 4 years, although this is a modern B-movie)
Valentine
Also recommend various Mexican Luchadors and Japanese Costumed Heroes. There are tons of Movies I could have listed, I tried to keep it to some I liked.
I don't consider Mystery Men or Sky High to be bad films.
All Superheroes Must Die was a much better film than I thought it would be.
11:30 Oh no, Patrick McNee, why...?!
This channel is pure gold! So glad I found it!
I would also recommend japanese Mutant Girls Squad.
Great list!
That Clint Eastwood reaction shot was pure gold.
The Paradox kinda seems like a cool premise and an idea.
Wow how is this video not way more popular wtf. Insta-sub!
I love how Donald Pleasance pronounces puma in the pumaman
I remember Misfits of Science. It's basically a precursor to Heroes.
Hell yeah! Barry Prima as Jaka Sambung...and Cunyet Arkin in one video!!! This is a great list!!!
yeahh 6:05 💥💥 childhood memories
I am elated to see Pumaman in the top 3 of the list! I am so glad my parents introduced MST3k to me, so I can easily digest all that cheese!
I gotta say, Paradox sounds dope!
11:56 Thank you for reminding me to add Danny & the Juniors to my Pandora list. That song is just what I needed while getting over a migraine.
Not expecting Indonesian film in here. LOL.
That Rama film is so obscure, nobody i know ever heard of it. Usually if people talk about Indonesian super hero, they meant Gundala Putra Petir.
How can you mention nightman and not the time he fought the dayman?
DAYMAN!!!!! (CLAP OVERHEAD) DAYMAN!!!!(CLAP OVERHEAD) DAYMAN!!!!(huff more paint)....
You had me at Kilink!!
This Channel is underrated
Did Night Man lose his power when the FCC made it mandatory to switch from analog broadcast to digital . Or did he have to get an adapter.
Nice list! Thanks for doing the hard yards. ;)
4:06 For a moment, I thought this one was gonna be about testicular torsion.
me too
I still think it's ironic they cast Kevin Peter Hall...and then made his power GETTING SMALL.
The tallest guy in Hollywood.
Paradox: like the premise with the 'murder committed by unknown weapon in a fantasy world' with the weapon being a gun, then I remembered that that's the plot of a Discworld novel.
Rama Superman seems like a pre-rip-off of Shazaam!
8:09 "Pu-ma-man, he flies like a moron!"
i too like but even more rare remember the demolitionist.
Can't forget any movie featuring charisma machine Bruce Abbott!
"Misfits of Science"...one of my faves. Maybe "awful" but not as bad as many others.
Thanks, you watch them so we don't have to.
Omg misfits just came out on Netflix.
And I know Puma Man from MST3K.

i only watched nightman because the creator of the original comic wrote some of the episodes
5:30 I love it too! ❤
A Super Awesome Superhero Movie List. :)
Holy crow! I'd forgotten about Misfits of Science! I remember watching that show for its all-too-brief run. It's too bad it was axed, I thought it was a lot of fun!
Still waiting for Supersonic Man vs. Puma Man to happen.
RoboCop shooting a man in the crotch through a woman’s skirt was in the original movie.
Yes, he's being totally sarcastic.😅
He stated that single film shot of the Gun going back to his mechanical leg, is lifted directly from the Robocop TV series, not the movie.
Nothing beats Fantastic Argoman. The most delirious superhero movie ever made.
If you want to see Supersonic man in its prime form, get it on Rifftrax! You will not regret it!
I used to watch Misfits of Science with my granfather. Loved that show

Supersonic Man's theme sounds a LOT like the cartoon The Mighty Heroes!
What about the X-Men tv movie that happened about twenty (?) years ago?

It's and interesting premise ngl. I can imagine myself as a 90s child looking at a tv series based on that premise starring Sorbo
I have to say that these movies look far more entertaining than the formulaic blockbusters being churned out. I have got to find The Deathless Devil!
4:28 - 4:37 He predicted Meta Facebook and the how Zuckerberg needs to be brought down.
2:56-Ah, those long-ago days when Nick Fury was white! The kids just don’t believe me when I talk about those days! They threaten to hold me hostage by nail gun and wrap in duct tape until I renounce my claims!
super fuzz was my favorite as a kid.
Lady Terminator in Bangla Robocop really reminds me of Tandra Quinn in Women of Lost Mesa. But uh...the math wouldn't make sense on that.
11:55 best outro ever
I mean Lee isn't WRONG about Hasselhoff's portrayal of Fury, it's just...the character didn't have much to it until fairly recently, he was mostly a super cool spy who was a vehicle for cool 1-liners.
I can not tolerate any slander against Kevin, lol. I know him personally since the early 90s and he is a great guy. 👍
You had me at Kevin Sorbo!
You watched 1000 of them, that's dedication. 😁
I knew Puma Man had to be on this list.
For those not aware, puma man has one of the best mystery science theater 3000 episodes to date. Check it out if you get a chance.
Alyas Batman en Robin stars Joey de Leon as Batman, Panchito as Penguin and Rene Requiestas as Joker, which was a direct throwback from the 1960's Batman TV series.

Holy shit Paradox should get another adaptation, particularly in a comic that is a genuinely cool premise.
The robot in 'Deathless Devil' is still more convincing than the one in 'Adventures of Chris Fable', and that was made forty years later. Not so much the one in 'Rama' though - but again, thirty-five years.
Misfits of science wasn't good but it was a fun show
#1 is Inframan!
Fun fact: Pumaman's actor is a lawyer and looks like he's pretty successful.
Supersonic Man theme song is similar to Green Rangers Dragonzord flute lol
I laughed so much I hurt myself
