Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The 4 stars are for being such an ridiculously bad film you can't help but laugh your hinder off, whether it's the MST3K version or the "unadulterated" version. Donald Plesance is the villain that looks like an earlier version of Dr. Evil. He steals an Aztec mask from a sacred cave (from Pumaland, no doubt), A hulking Aztec named Vadinho, journeys to England to find the Puma Man. Why is this Puma Man in England, where nothing resembling a Puma has ever been noted. Oh well, the movie tells us he's there so I'll play along. So how do you find a Puma Man? Yellow Pages, Personal Ad, perhaps stake out a lamb in an open field? Nah. Just throw out some poor shmoe from a high rise building and if he doesn't go splat, you get yer man (no joke)!
After a few noted failures to fill the Puma Man position, a paleontologist named Tony is found an acceptable applicant. Tony has the disposition of a 3 year old; whiny and annoying. After much cajoling and bullying, Vadinho convinces Tony to take on our villain bent on World domination (again Dr. Evil-esque). The other reviewers have already noted his unorthodox method of flying (Pumas can fly?!?), so nuf ced about that.
Of course every Puma Man has to have a ditzy blonde bimbo girlfriend with a penchant for wearing WWI fighter pilot cap minus the goggles- doesn't every super hero? If this chick has more than 5 brain cells, then Michael Jackson is normal.
Every aspect of this film, is laugh-out-loud bad! Of the Sci-Fi era Mystery Science Theater episodes, this is one of the best. Rhino must release Werewolf, Jack Frost and Puma Man on DVD. Classics must be preserved.
