Caught this on a double feature of very oddball superhero movies recently with
ROBOT NINJA. Not sure which one is weirder but being made in Turkey this is clearly more foreign to me. The Iron Fist of the title is actually on of our bad guys who has a metal fist that he shoots out of, the other is a rather effeminate Fu Manchu character who are both battling it out to find some secret treasure or something. Our hero is a cop who doesn't actually seem to have any superpowers but sometimes, for reasons that are never really explained, wears a superhero outfit to help him fight crime(I guess it gives him that extra oomph he needs!). This ensemble consists of a kind-of Superman outfit with Batman's belt and a mask(I guess they just used whatever costuming they could find?). Complete with surf music(including some Ennio Morricone and Blue's Theme from THE WILD ANGELS), a hook-handed henchman, belly dancing and machine-gun gals this is a good one for trash movie fans. Sadly there are no giants to be seen.
