Tony (Tony Kendall) and Nick (Nick Jordan) are master thieves who wear
silly red outfits during all their raids, and like to rely both on
acrobatic stunts and all kinds of highly sophisticated gadgets. Eventually
though, agent Brad (Brad Harris) of the FBI leads them into a trap - to
offer them complete amnesty if they pull a raid on a certain embassy
that's involved in money laundering, and if they take him on as their
partner. The raid of course proves to be the easy part of the endeavour,
the problem is that suddenly a gang of baddies is after our three heroes,
and they soon kidnap professor Schwarz (Carlo Tamberlani), whom Tony and
Nick relied on for their gadgets, and his daughter Zizi (Bettina Busch) -
and then it turns out the money our heroes have stolen from the embassy is
fake ... Investigations lead our heroic trio to an island that just
happens to house a boarding school, where evil professor Golem (Jochen
Brockmann) wants to force good professor Schwarz to perfect his
replicator, a machine that is supposed to replicate everything, even
humans. Of course our heroes can't let that happen, and much fighting
ensues, including a fight with a few evil copies of Brad, but of course,
good prevails over evil in the end. Despite the promise of
supermen in the title, this is more of an Eurospy-movie than anything
else, and as such it's as trashy as it's cheap but also as campy as it is
amusing. To put it simply, this is not a film to be taken seriously, as it
was intended as an action comedy, and in several scenes the farcial
aspects clearly shine through. Having said that, The Three Fantastic
Supermen is not exactly a good film, it's direction is bland, the cast
is rather sub-par (and especially Nick Jordan as mute acrobat quickly get
son your nerves), and it's low budget sometimes shines through rather
painfully ... but it's also childish fun to watch, especially with a
couple of beers.
