What a waste of my time!!!

That was an excellent one.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Low-budget film about a young man given a mystical medallion by an Aztec shaman, in order to become a puma-empowered champion like his father before him. In trying to initially locate the young man, the shaman has the nasty habit of pushing candidates out of windows to test them.If not for "Mystery Science Theater", this film would probably have been forgotten. As of now (2015), the film was released on VHS, but never DVD. The VHS tapes actually got for a fairly high price online. There must be some kind of a demand.And, you know, despite being a bad movie, it is a fun bad movie. And many folks (myself included) love Italian horror / fantasy / adventure films. It would be great to see this film released on DVD or even Blu-ray, cleaned up with some sort of information on its creation and the director.

If you have had the misfortune of seeing any of the live-action Saturday morning kids' shows from the 1970's (or if you were unfortunate enough to have grown up in that time period), then basically you have seen this movie.It's all been done before. A mysterious mystical guy is searching for the descendant of a long line of "Puma Men" to guide him in the ways of the puma, which include flying and a type of red-tinted psychic night-vision. This must be an educational film, as I did not know pumas could fly. He finds his subject, who is reluctant to assume these powers and spends the remainder of the movie whining and complaining. I guess I would whine too, after realizing all the good superhero powers were already taken, and I was left with this.The rest is predictable. PumaMan masters his ability conjure up a lame background theme song every time he flies. His take-offs and landings are enhanced with 1970's video game sound effects. And he completes his training, just in time of course, to take on Kobras, an evil villain who is determined to... guess... control the world. I didn't see that coming.The movie includes a limited disco-garbage soundtrack and special effects that are truly ground-breaking (for the 1940's). Donald Pleasence (who must have been exhausted after pursuing Michael Myers and needed an easier adversary), as the evil Kobras, constantly pronounces "PumaMan" as "Pew-ma Man." Think of it as "phew - this movie stinks."Because it truly does.

In France, when a movie is so bad he becomes funny (unintentionally, it's important) we call it a "NANAR".And there's a real audience for this kind of movie (Ed Wood like). These movies are treasures because they become rare. Nowaday, the bad movies have at least decent SFX, decent editing, the directors have all followed a formation... But during the 60-70-80's absolute incompetent directors could make movies. So there is a bunch of them, but a limited bunch, and this one is famous.So if "Puma man" made me laugh and spent a good time, I must give more than 1 or 2 stars. And I must recommend it.My favorite quotes : Boss ! This man is FLYING like... Like ?.. ... like a PUMA !(Because, as everybody knows : the pumas fly.) LOL !;-))

Wow, just wow. Never see this film without Mike Nelson and and his robot pals, because it is BAD. After re-watching every episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, I decided to start watching some of the movies without the fantastic commentary, and I started with this, the worst superhero movie ever! Catwoman was better than this piece of giant dino dung.It is a story of love, revenge, mysticism, aliens and a guy named Pumayman...excuse me, Pumaman. A lame and useless professor of paleontology who is the descendant of aliens that protected the Aztecs centuries ago, is chosen by a massive Aztec man to become Pumaman, a lame and useless defender of justice who flies with his butt in the air.Pumaman must retrieve a golden mask from the kinda, sort-of, menacing Donald Pleasence. Pumaman is equipped with his brains, with which he is in short supply, and the incredible powers of a puma, like super strength, teleportation and flight, because we all know pumas can fly. The aforementioned hulking Aztec guy does more heroic acts protecting Pumaman than Pumaman does in the whole film.This movie has a lame plot about an evil madman(Pleasence) trying to take over the world, something we all know he would do. Pleasence uses an attractive woman to seduce Pumaman, not realizing he hangs out with a beefy Aztec giant.Pumayman's Costume: Every Superhero needs a cool costume, and boy, does Pumaman have a great costume. He has a red poncho for a cape, a black horse blanket for a shirt, and what is surely going to become all the rage in superhero uniforms, Kahkis and Tennis Sneakers.The music of the film seems to have been done using a budget of $8, which was spent wisely on something else. The Fx is better or the same as the FX used in the Indian Superman movie. I cannot begin to tell you how bad this film is. Characters randomly appear and disappear to further drag this film along. You should only watch this film as an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, if you don't, your a glutton for punishment.
