Mr. Lobo's Super Bowl Pick: Superargo (1968)

Against the Super Bowl -- Superargo? Sure, why not! See, we forgot the Super Bowl was on this night until kind of the last minute, and it's a historically very slow night at MOBS. Being too lazy to figure out what to show instead of what was originally planned, we just called up Mr. Lobo, the host of the nationally syndicated show Cinema Insomnia, and asked him what we should run. And he said Superargo. It was just that simple. Keep in mind, we don't think Mr. Lobo will actually be at the screening (although we never know who might pop by MOBS), but yeah - we just let someone else "program" this night - and it was all completely spur of the moment!

Who's Superargo (not to be confused with the similarly-named Argoman)? Well, Superargo is a wrestler turned secret agent/superhero whose powers include levitation, super strength, telekinesis, and super-coagulating blood! He also has the power to drive a sports car while wearing red tights and a black facemask without being laughed at by bystanders! Yes folks, it's THAT exciting... To make it even more thrilling (if your heart can stand it), Superargo's up against a madman who's turning the world's best and fastest athletes into shuffling, staggering, slow-moving robots! Just imagine the action that will ensue when Superargo is facing enemies that he could simply amble away from! Oh yes.

Note: quality of this is pretty sketchy, but if quality is your primary concern, you probably shouldn't come to this anyway... However, if you've got no use for over-blown sporting events that basically bring our nation to a standstill for an afternoon/evening, come have some fun with this notoriously bad Euro flick!
