Tonight's Stinker: The Pumaman (1980)

Tonight's Stinker The Pumaman (1980) https://youtu.be/e59kuXC_bzA?si=7ifvL64j3OVj3HWy So, a million years ago, aliens gave the Aztecs a gold mask, promising Pumaman would protect it.... Present day London, Donald Pleasance leads a group of villains in black leather jumpsuits, who have stolen the mask & intend to use it to control the minds of world leaders... But first, an archeologist warns him about the Pumaman, whom he resolves to find & kill.... Cut to a professor out for a jog, reading about a rash of murders... He goes back to work, where he senses danger, & a Latino with super human strength attacks him & tosses him out a window, but he survives... Later on, the Latino shows up at his house, tells the professor he's the Pumaman, & tries to get him to try on a belt... The audio is pretty grating most of the time, but the disco & midi-synth soundtrack is amusingly goofy... Campy fun that manages to stay engaging most of the time...
