Cheesy but highly entertaining pulp spy film from Italy. Superargo is an ex-wrestler turned spy with amazing super human powers. He has to face off against Diabolikus before Diabolikus can enact a half-baked Goldfinger-esque scheme to flood the market with gold (that Diabolikus has created from mercury) causing economic chaos. While the film contains a lot of logical gaps and lapses in continuity, the sheer cheese-ball factor of everything is charming enough to keep the entertainment levels high. Superargo has to face everything from bullets, gas, freezing cold, being cooked alive, and more! The score by Franco Pisano blares confidently throughout, mixing the bombastic Bond brass with an Italian lounge sound. Hats off to Darrell Brogdon for a fun Cinema A Go Go.
7/10
