A masked wrestler/superhero goes up against a madman and his army of robots.

I like the premise behind “Superargo,” and while he’s not the most competent superhero, I think in the serial world he could have thrived.

Unbeknownst to me Superargo and the Faceless Giants is actually the second film in a franchise.

Who is Superargo? He's an Italio-Spanish superhero whose main powers are that he used to be a wrestler and now he drives a car! Also, he can blow up small vases with his mind, but that doesn’t come up very often. Superargo’s super-heroics wouldn’t be complete without his turban-wearing, 1960s-style sidekick, based on the usual vague turban-wearing, 1960s-style sidekick ethnic stereotypes. And who are the Faceless Giants? Why, simply the world’s greatest athletes, kidnapped and reprogrammed to be giant clumsy robots. Their mission? To rob banks, of course! If you can think of an easier way to rob a bank, we’d sure like to hear it! Even if your favorite cheese isn’t the vintage European superhero type (like Supersonic Man, or that Puma fella), you and your face will have a blast with the meandering, low-impact heroics of Superargo and the Faceless Giants!
