What a waste of my time!!!

Absolutely Brilliant!

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

INVINCIBLE SUPER GUY is a typical Taiwanese kung fu story with a convoluted plot. It reminded me a little of one of those Chor Yuen 'martial world' tales made for Shaw Brothers with their complex tableaus of opposing characters and deadly rivalry. This one features a number of characters, some of whom are good, some of whom (as in the case of stock villain Lung Fei) are bad. Chang Yi, Bai Ying, and Polly Shang Kwan all make appearances and had their own careers in second-tier Taiwanese cinema. The action is relatively limited but hits home at the fun climax, where the Venoms-style villain turns out to have the power of invisibility and the heroes have to figure out a way to team up and beat him.

If you can get past the title that is appropriate for only a Saturday morning cartoon and actually watch the movie you will be one of the few. The movie starts with two bad guys, I call them Horny and Hungry. They meet a girl carrying a chicken dinner. One eats chicken and the other rapes. They soon meet two more evil doers and plan to rob gold from a rich man. It seems someone else has already robbed the gold. More and more characters enter the story to the point where one wonders is there even a good guy in this movie or just a lesser bad guy? Chang Yi as Invincible Superguy could be the good guy but he gets little screen time so how can one decide? This movie seems a throwback to the early days of Taiwan martial arts movies that were heavy on plot and character. Chang Yi did have an excellent dramatic scene in his first appearance. It fails to deliver like "A Touch of Yen" or the other classics, primarily from lack of a real lead character or plot direction. When the final fights come it really does look like a cartoon. Overall the high point of the movie was Chang Yi's mustache – fabulous.
