Supersonic Man [1979]

Continuing what feels like a string of superhero movies, we have Supersonic Man, starring frequent bad movie actor Cameron Mitchell. This one is pretty limited in plot: an alien is sent to Earth to save it and given powers to make him nearly unkillable. Cool. So the stakes are nonexistent for our hero. On the other end of the spectrum, we have out villain in Cameron Mitchell, a man who wants to take over the world (of course) and likes to philosophize about the nature of man. He's pretty fun. His main evil act is to kidnap a scientist and then his daughter becomes a target. Supersonic Man sets out to protect the daughter by dating her. As with a lot of bad movies, the pacing left us wondering where we were in the film for a while until it just ended. 

Overall, there's not much to say about it but it's pretty good. We got some laughs and weren't bored, but I wouldn't necessarily say to add it to your list.
