A car spontaneously explodes while driving down a slight grassy incline.

Quotes
[Wondering about Supersonic Man]
Gulik: Who sent him? Who is he? From where? More importantly, why? Why? Why? We must find this strange devil, or whatever the hell he is, before he panics my entire organization!

Alternate versions
English and Spanish versions have different music soundtracks. While English version uses a knockoff of John Williams's Superman (1978) theme as its central musical piece, Spanish version uses a cheesy disco song sung in English by a female voice, with lyrics that go "Supersonic Man, I wanna be".

"What is this tomfoolery?"

Dr. Gulik (Cameron Mitchell) is an evil mastermind bent on . . . well, I'm really not sure what he was bent on. I watched the entire movie and still have no idea what Dr. Gulick's plan was. In between all the gibberish Dr. Gulick spouts, I don't believe he ever laid out what his ultimate goal was (if he did, I missed it). I don't believe I've ever seen a movie with a more confusing plot. Or, maybe the plot wasn't confusing, but, instead, the movie didn't have a plot. That's my guess.

Beyond the plot, everything else is a disaster. The special effects are the worst, the music is beyond annoying, and the acting is atrocious. Usually I can watch a movie and enjoy it regardless of the dubbing. That's not the case here. The voice actors are terrible. And why was there a need to dub Cameron Mitchell with a ridiculous, over-the-top English accent? And then there's the robot. This movie was made in 1979, not 1939. Just plain stupid. The only reason I haven't given the movie a "1" is for all the lackeys in the matching, multi-color jumpsuits. Watching these guys run around as the island blows-up is worth a point.
