Cicak Man is a movie superhero from a 2004 offering in Malaysia. It's a comedy (with some fairly decent CGI!) in which the titular character - which translates to "Gecko-Man" for English speaking people - is played by Malaysian comedian Saiful Apek. Apek plays Hairi Yatim, a loser who lives in the city of Metrofulus and accidentally drinks a coffee that is contaminated with a virus (Virus 266), thanks to an infected gecko. He soon finds himself sticking to walls and making gecko noises inexplicably and he turns to his best friend, Danny Yusry Abdul, for help. When more and more people in Metofulus start being infected by the virus, Hairi and Danny uncover some leads to a laboratory ran by Professor Klon, who it turns out is creating the virus with profits and nefarious intentions in mind. Using his powers - which he discovers are actually threatening his own life - Danny must bring Professor Klun down before his own time runs out. Two further Cicak Man movies were made - one of which was just released this month.
