Brand new factory sealed dvd of a sci-fi double feature that is rare, Out Of Print (OOP) and no longer being manufactured.
SUPERSONIC MAN: A motionless, mannequin like figure--the sole apparent occupant of a mysterious spacecraft--is ordered to "return to life" by a solarized figure on a viewscreen. The mannequin, called "Supersonic" by this overseer, is quickly assigned a mission on the planet Earth--whose people are on the verge of causing a galactic catastrophe through their careless weapons experiments. Red tights and a sparkling blue-cape (with half-head mask to match) appear on the pale white figure, and Supersonic Man flies from the ship, making a beeline for the Earth.
Meanwhile, on Earth itself, a top-secret, high-security laboratory is invaded by soldiers who arrive in a laundry truck--from which they unload the clunkiest robot seen since 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.' While the invaders effortlessly destroy the security personnel with their laser zap guns, the robot corners one Professor Morgan, who splutters "What sort of tomfoolery is this?" As Morgan is abducted, Dr. Gulik (Cameron Mitchell), watching approvingly via remote, remarks "Now I've got you, Professor!" as he smacks his black-gloved hands together and cackles fiendishly.
Supersonic (Antonio Cantafora), having been given all the information needed to pass himself off as an Earthling (not to mention a condo in New York), immediately learns about Dr. Gulik's diabolical plot (to extort vital reasearch information from Professor Morgan in the name of world conquest) and assigns himself to the protection of Morgan's daughter Patricia.
Sometimes he appears to her in in his cape-and-costume guise, thwarting potential assailants with the expected array of unearthly powers and super-strength (in one case he lifts a steamroller off the highway)--while he also befriends her in the form of a private investigator known only as Paul.
He causes endless trouble for the minions of Dr. Gulik in both personas as he wends his way toward his fateful meeting with the villain (while romancing Patricia). All the while, Dr. Gulik watches and waits from the confines of a volcano laboratory obviously inspired by that of Blofeld in 'You Only Live Twice.'
WAR of the ROBOTS: Ambitious Italian space opera raids the coffin of Mario Bava's 'Planet of the Vampires' more than George Lucas's hit as director Alfonso Brescia floods the screen with gaudy, candy-colored lighting and cranks up the wonky electronic score.
Antonio Sabato Sr. takes the reins as captain, investigating a distress signal from a planet which turns out to be inhabitated by belligerant, caped aliens (who still live in caves). As it turns out, this mysterious race is dying and needs American scientists to help preserve them.
Oh, but they're also at war against a troop of blonde-wigged robots wearing silver jumpsuits. They kidnap a beautiful woman and a squad of rocket jocks, including a Texan, slip into warp drive and pursue them across the galaxies. Armies of extras, massive sets, and tons of action.
