Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesTom Waits' odd hand gestures when explaining the psychofrakulator were the result of him writing his dialogue on his fingers and reading the words as he went along.
- PatzerPencil Head's costume appears to have the initials "PM" on it. This seems to suggest his original name was "Pencil Man".
- Zitate
The Shoveller: We've got a blind date with destiny... and it looks like she's ordered the lobster.
- Crazy CreditsThere is a statement in the closing credits: "Dockers Khakis are the official khakis of Champion City."
- Alternative VersionenPG-rated home video versions in the UK were cut by the BBFC to get a PG rating (although the UK cinema version was passed uncut with the same rating). A double ear clap was removed, as well as the (apparent) sound of a head-butt. The film was finally passed uncut with a 12 rating in January 2020.

Ausgewählte Rezension
This was different, that's for sure. Just look at the cast! Talk about oddballs.
William H. Macy and Ben Stiller were the stars, although a bunch of actors almost share the spotlight, in this farce about superhero-wannabees. The most outrageous was played by Paul Reubens of "Pee Wee Herman" fame.
There is lots of humor, garish colors and no lulls. It's a pretty entertaining, lightweight comedy with nothing but goofy characters, all of whom want to be heroes a la Superman, Batman, Spiderman, you name. They have talents in strange areas, however, that the real heroes don't (and don't want to!). It's silly, but you know that going on.
It's also a film you can watch in installments and not really miss any continuity. It's a long movie for one so hectic, so taking a break here and there is okay. The language was tame so kids could enjoy this, too. In fact, I don't recall any swearing in here, except the guy in the theater next to me who kept uttering, "What a dumb, f---ing movie." I thought it was fun two hours but I'd rather watch it on DVD and take a few breaks.
