Programmer's Pick
Superargo’s not your average caped crusader—he’s a masked wrestler who’d rather throw a punch than wave a magic wand. If you like your superheroes with a Eurospy twist and villains with a knack for building robots, this is your match.

Why Cult
Superargo delivers action as a masked wrestler who doubles as a superhero, blending lucha libre with costumed vigilante flair.
The villain’s army of faceless robots gives the film its science fiction bite and ups the stakes for our red-suited hero.
The film mixes Italian exploitation style with espionage and secret agent motifs for a distinctively European take on superheroics.
Superargo’s powers—levitation, healing, and electricity resistance—are rarely used, making his reliance on fists and wits refreshingly different.
