Genres: Comedy
Rating:
After spoofing disaster films in Airplane!, police shows in The_Naked_Gun, and Hollywood horrors in Scary_Movie_3 and 4, producer David_Zucker sets his satirical sights on the superhero genre with this anarchic comedy lampooning everything from Spider-Man to X-Men and Superman_Returns. Shortly after being bitten by a genetically altered dragonfly, high-school outcast Rick Riker (Drake_Bell) begins to experience a startling transformation. Now Rick's skin is as strong as steel, and he possesses the strength of ten men. Determined to use his newfound powers to fight crime, Rick creates a special costume and assumes the identity of The Dragonfly -- a fearless crime fighter dedicated to keeping the streets safe for law-abiding citizens. But every superhero needs a nemesis, and after Lou Landers (Christopher McDonald) is caught in the middle of an experiment gone horribly awry, he develops the power to leech the life force out of anyone he meets and becomes the villainous Hourglass. Intent on achieving immortality, the Hourglass attempts to gather as much life force as possible as the noble Dragonfly sets out to take down his archenemy and realize his destiny as a true hero. Craig_Mazin writes and directs this high-flying spoof featuring Tracy_Morgan, Pamela_Anderson, Leslie_Nielsen, Marion_Ross, Jeffrey_Tambor, and Regina_Hall. Jason Buchanan, Rovi
