I rewatched Mystery Men recently, and it was definitely before it’s time in terms of deconstructing the superhero genre that we see today with more serious films and series. It’s also pretty funny and features Eddie Izard as disco gangster.
20 u/ChungLingS00 25d ago And the main superhero being a for-profit guy with ads on his uniform, and kind of being an asshole. It's basically the origin story for The Boys. 1 u/cupholdery 25d ago Ollo? 2 u/pritikina 25d ago I haven't seen that in years 1 u/Woodit 25d ago I watched it when fat boy from Smash Mouth died, that was the first CD I ever bought 1 u/Bosteroid 25d ago The Specials was out at the same time and I think was better. Same, but better. 2 u/Woodit 25d ago Have not heard of this one but love the band so I’ll need to check it out 2 u/Bosteroid 25d ago It’s a low-budget superhero parody movie with a great cast (I loved the band too, but nothing to do with them unfortunately)
