The Return of Captain Invincible (1983)
Country: AUS
Technical: col/scope 91m
Director: Philippe Mora
Cast: Alan Arkin, Christopher Lee, Kate Fitzpatrick
Synopsis:
A gone-to-seed, alcoholic superhero is tempted out of retirement to save the world one more time from an evil megalomaniac.
Review:
Initially very funny, this spoof on things Superman quickly runs out of appeal - and good songs - and eventually substitutes exploding sets for intelligent zaniness. Arkin is left with few opportunities to indulge his flair for manic disbelief, though Lee enjoys getting stuck into the musical numbers courtesy of Richard O'Brien.
