10 Amazingly Bad Rip Off Films You've Never Seen

By uttering the phrase “May the great force of the galaxy be with me” into his wristwatch, a mild-mannered reporter transforms into Kronos, aka Supersonic Man, the Spanish version of Superman. His powers include the ability to see through walls, lift bulldozers (once they’ve turned into wooden props) and turn handguns into bananas, though he spends most of the film being dangled in front of rear-projected aerial footage while chintzy music plays.

He’s on Earth to stop Dr Gulik, an evil genius who lives in a toy model volcano accessible only by wire-supported helicopters with a robot guard that’s either Marvin the paranoid android’s bigger, meaner brother or an escapee from Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.

A sub-Bond villain must have a sub-Bond masterplan and the doc’s seems to revolve around forcing a “famous” and “brilliant” scientist to create a laser that’ll allow him to rule the world. Nothing comes of it because Gulik spends the whole movie puttering around the ‘sets’ quoting Shakespeare and comparing himself to Julius Caesar until Sonic turns up and puts the kibosh on the enterprise with suspicious ease.
