KRW Wrote:It was Super Fuzz:
Dave Speed is a young patrol man in Miami, Florida, who after accidental exposure to nuclear radiation develops incredible powers. He can see round corners, move a driver-less truck, race up 20 flights of stairs in 20 seconds, and fall from a window high up in a skyscraper and land on his feet, unhurt. He is in many ways a super cop, but his powers fail him when he sees the colour red. Anything red, from a girl's bathing costume to a traffic light.

Dave's friend and surperior in the force is hard-bitten campaigner Sgt, Willie Dunlop. The pair are expected to pull their weight in the city's bid to uncover a counterfeit ring. Led by underworld boss Torpedo, the gang is causing havoc by flooding the city with forged banknotes. Pulling their weight lands the two cops in big trouble. But in this light-hearted action adventure there is plenty of scope for Dave to test his astonishing powers in the course of tracking down the crooks

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:One of my favorite shows of the 60s was THE INVADERS, starring Roy Thinnes as David Vincent. "The Invaders...alien beings from a dying planet. Their destination...the Earth. Their purpose...to make it =their=world. David Vincent has seem them. For him it began one lost night on a lonely country road, looking for a shortcut that he never found. It began with a closed, deserted diner...and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey. It began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy. David Vincent knows the Invaders are here. Now he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare has already begun." Anybody remember it?

Sam Wrote:WOW!!! Space Giants!! I thought I was the only person who remembered that show. I can still hear that whistle in my head. MAKE IT STOP!!!

BTW the other show you mentioned may be my favorite at that time - Spectreman.

Lokheed Wrote:Season one of The Greatest American Hero is coming out on DVD soon. If you're feeling nostalgic, that is.

Kenji Wrote:I remember The Invaders!

When I was kid, I always watched it. I liked it. Oh, man! I'm now deeply feeling nostalgia.

jimbow8 Wrote:There was a movie about a superhero who lost his super-powers whenever he saw the color red. He would be running super-fast down a street and see a red garage door, and BAM he would lose his power. Somehow he got sent to prison and was going to be executed. The bad guy came right before his execution dressed as a priest and gave him a red rose. Etc, etc, etc.

Anyone remember this one?

KRW Wrote:Your Welcome!
I remembered the scene where he runs into the Red garage door. I thought Super Cop at first but wasn't sure it was right so I looked it up and low and behold, it was Super Fuzz. It's a great movie.

This was one of the last films I saw on a really big screen before our local theatre divided into two smaller screens. The last one I saw was Poltergeist I think.
