A masked wrestler faces a mad scientist and his robotic army in Euro-superhero style.
SUPERARGO AND THE FACELESS GIANTS
A masked wrestler/superhero goes up against a madman and his army of robots.
Red spandex and robot baddies: the European answer to Saturday matinee tights.
If you like your superheroes with more wrestling moves than magic, Superargo delivers: his bulletproof red suit is flashier than his superpowers, which appear about as often as a robot with a face. Expect fistfights, mad science, and Euro-camp antics with Giovanni Cianfriglia under the mask.
