Halcyon, the king of the rushed-out copycat movies, has released the trailer for their long-awaited film about a superhero in power armor... Metal Man. (Not to be confused with Iron Man...but yeah.) They've also brought us Amphibious (Cloverfield), Replicator (Single White Female with robots) and Battle Space. The plot of MM sounds a bit different than Iron Man, although the resemblance of the outfits is uncanny. The story is based on a scientist who gets stuck inside a "bio-helmet" permanently. He then takes out his anger on the people who stole his identity along with his family. My only question for Metal Man is to the gentleman in the trailer who holds a gun up to MMs heart: He's metal right? [Halycon] Thanks, Averyguerra!
Like Iron Man, But More Metallic This Time

'Saving the world just got an upgrade'
If that's an upgrade then please downgrade me back to Windows XP, or DOS, or even Colecovision.
Part Man.
Part Machine.
All Crap.
Did anyone see Transmorphers? Looks like the same category.
'Saving the world just got an upgrade' doesn't make sense
Hmmm... this is bad.
This is, like, Italian Spiderman Bad.
Only not good like Italian Spiderman.
is that not Denis Quade that says "Not Yet" at :30?
Is this old? or what the hell is this? where can I get More info? does this movie have a website or anything?
Looks more like a bad Robocop rip-off than a bad Iron Man rip-off to me.
How do these movies make money? I mean, who watches this crap?
Hey the gray haired dude is from Phantasm or should I say the Phantasm's. I need to get a gig with a distributor and make my own bad sci-fi films. I was thinking of something like...
The Incredible Hack:
In a new beginning, programmer Duce Danner (gray haired dude from Phantasm) desperately hunts for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of spam rage within him: The Hack.
I see they solved the De-Icing problem by having him never leave the ground.
what on earth does that tagline even mean?
@Garrison Dean, King Awesome: Ladies and gentlemen, Why Garrison has a star. Excuse me while I wipe the spit-take off the screen.
@Ghede: Why thank you for the kind words, I've got a little AV presentation going on over in the Real Iron Man post as well for your enjoyment.
@extracrispy: Well, for one thing this will probably show up on Sci Fi channel...Saturday night... the most "dangerous" night of the week..yeah dangertous to whom??
@oldandintheway: IQ's
More like RoboCrap!!!
@Smeagol92055:
Ah, but is it Indian Superman and Spiderwoman good?
+ Watch video
:-D
The important question is, does this cyborg have a penis? And if so, can it also be used as a weapon? It's not such a bad place to put a depleted uranuim rail gun.
@WellsJohnson: The goggles, they do nothing!
@WellsJohnson: This sort of thing is the reason why I thought Bollywood-film was cool and different when I was a young film geek, but now hate it as a grumpy old(er) film geek. There is so much crappy singing and dancing a man can take!
Any link to more info on Amphibious, the Clover clone? Can't find anything on it anywhere.

I'm offended. On SO MANY levels. It's not even a pr0n parody LOL
