| Super Fuzz | comment |
Italian-made low budget Super Hero comedy from 1980 about a police officer named David Speed (Terence Hill), who gets hit with an atomic blast, and then discovers he has super powers. Ernest Borgnine is his partner, Sergeant William Dunlop. Better than it sounds, and much more fun to boot, this was a staple of cable movie channels in the early 1980s.Do not confuse with fellow "cop film with a twist" Hot Fuzz. | |

| Super Fuzz / int_2b6c866 | comment |
Saved by the Platform Below: Played with. After developing his super powers, Speed and his partner respond to a situation on the 23rd floor of a building. During the scuffle, Speed gets thrown out of the window. There's a window washing platform a couple of floors down, but Speed misses it. Instead, he uses his powers to safely land on the sidewalk. When he rejoins the fight, his partner looks out of the window, sees the platform, and assumes this trope got played. | |

| Super Fuzz / int_33aa30e3 | comment |
The Man They Couldn't Hang: Dave has already had three attempted executions for allegedly killing his partner. 1) Gas chamber, he just inhaled the poison without harm. 2) Hanged, but the rope broke. 3) And firing squad, but every bullet missed. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent | |
| Super Fuzz / int_43b154c9 | comment |
Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Terence Hill's Italian accent is very obvious in some scenes. Like, he sounds like Tommy Wiseau at times. | |
