The government calls in the costumed agent Superargo when star athletes across the nation are abducted by a group of blank-faced robots.
The second Superargo film brings back Cianfriglia in the title role, a former wrestler whose fighting prowess and unusual abilities make him a valuable freelance agent. Accompanied by Sambrell's mind-reading mystic, they battle the robots and trace the disappearing athletes to American guest-star Madison. I thought it was an okay movie, with some cool theme music, glamorous women, and well-choreographed fights, but the villain's motives are never really sufficiently explained, and the characters are paper-thin, with little development or backstory. The movie's a diverting enough watch, but there have been far better superhero films.
