History Film / ThePumaman

* DangerSense: An awkward implementation. It manifests by giving him a headache and/or a dizzy spell several minutes before the actual danger occurs, and gives him no indication of what the danger will be or where it'll come from. Worse, half the time he just ignores it. (For example, Vadinho warned him that his life would be in danger at the Dutch embassy, his danger sense goes off at the Dutch embassy, but he's still taken completely by surprise when Kobras' thugs attack him at the Dutch embassy.)
* DestinationDefenestration: Remember, the best way to spot your local Pumaman is to chuck people out of windows until one of them survives. The film puts a little ''too'' much effort into making us wonder if maybe Vadinho's one of the guys who's chucking random Americans out of windows, looking for the right one, with how he stalks around wordlessly looking all creepy, tearing through all obstructions with his bare hands to get to Tony, and then suddenly grabbing him and shoving him out a window. Since he actually works for the aliens sponsoring Pumaman, you'd hope he'd have less murder-y methods for finding the right guy at his disposal. But it turns out it's not Vadinho, however -- there's a quick [[FreezeFrameBonus glimpse]] of the ''two'' people, neither of them Vadinho, who throw one of the other victims out a window -- but the movie doesn't go out of its way to make that clear.

* DrivenToSuicide: Kobras uses the mask to convince Tony to commit suicide. Vadinho prevents it.

* HealingFactor In the [=MST3K=] version, Vadinho's injuries from being beaten up by Kobras' mooks are inexplicably healed. A scene removed from [=MST3K=] has him doing a ritual to heal all his wounds.

** Possibly the biggest example is when Tony attacked Kobras just after the latter used the mask to brainwash the world leaders, instead of waiting until Kobras wasn't near the mask. Granted, Kobras just used the mask to brainwash Jane, so it might be a case LoveMakesYouStupid.

* MoreHeroThanThou: Even depowered, Tony ''did'' insist on going along with [[spoiler:Vadinho's suicide mission]] - but Vadinho ''really'' [[MoreExpendableThanYou insisted on going alone]]. With his fist.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling[=/=]SpiderSense: Tony gets headaches when trouble's around. Well, sometimes; he still walks obliviously into traps and ambushes several times.[[note]]To be fair, he was never in danger with Vadinho, so being "attacked" by him wouldn't set it off. And sometimes he just ignores its warning.[[/note]]

* PoesLaw: There's a debate whether the movie was intentionally trying to be goofy with the way Pumaman flies. [=MST3K=]'s Paul Chaplin believes this was a form of subtle humor on the part of the filmmakers while the rest of the writers believed everything was done seriously. Tony's pose was probably intentional (he's trying to imitate a four-legged "pouncing" pose rather than a Superman-like flying pose), but the terrible special effects are probably not intentional.

* PowerHarness: Tony's powers come from a belt that Vadinho gave him.

* SadlyMythtaken: Vadhino tells Tony that he has the powers of "the great god puma". The Aztecs had a ''jaguar'' god, Tezcatlipoca, but they didn't have a puma god.

* SpiderSense: Tony has a brief dizzy spell when he "senses danger." He tends to end up in danger anyway.

* SuperReflexes: Pumaman doesn't have invulnerability or enhanced durability, he has this instead.

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: For some strange reason, Donald Pleasance pronounces Pumaman as "PEW-ma man".

* AndStarring: Both Sydne Rome (billed as "Special Guest Star" -- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiqiRyFKUQM she was popular on the Continent at the time]]) and Miguel Ángel Fuentes he gets a "With").

* ChromaKey:

** A throwaway line mentions that the Aztec gods' main temple resides in the Andes, implying that the screenwriters confused the Aztecs with the Incas.
* AncientAstronauts: Traveling in space bathyspheres. Who apparently look like pumas, have terrible taste in fashion, and tend to leave mind control artifacts lying around.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Pumaman's powers are only vaguely catlike, though. Vadinho does refer a few times to the Great God Puma, so Pumaman may derive thematically from a catlike Aztec ''god'', not from the cat itself.
* AndStarring: Both Sydne Rome (billed as "Special Guest Star" -- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiqiRyFKUQM she was popular on the Continent at the time]]) and Miguel Ángel Fuentes he gets a "With").
* AngelUnaware: When Vadinho [[spoiler:[[ButNowIMustGo is about to leave with the aliens at the end]]]], a question occurs to Tony.
-->'''Tony:''' Tell me the truth, Vadinho; are you one of them?\\
'''Crow (as Vadinho):''' Who, me? [[InformedJudaism No, I'm Jewish.]]
* BadassPreacher: Vadinho's a preacher who is strong enough to rip apart cars with his bare hands.

** Again, Vadinho, though how "normal" he is (he's strong enough to rip apart cars with his bare hands, and can magically heal himself) could be up for debate.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: Jane. A character so lacking in personality that she barely qualifies as a cardboard cutout. And yet she still manages to prove herself to have more HeroicWillpower than our "hero" by managing to repeatedly resist (if not completely overcome) Kobras' mind control when he was completely unable to.

The plot? Our villain is Dr. Kobras (Creator/DonaldPleasence in a shiny futuristic muu-muu), who has gotten his hands on a huge golden Aztec mask, which contains alien circuitry that allows it to control minds. He plans to use it to dominate world leaders, and already has a collection of papier-mâché heads signifying his mental conquests. Only one man can stop him: the eponymous Pumaman, the scion of a line of "man-gods" sired by ancient spacefaring Aztec alien puma things. He's an American living in nearby UsefulNotes/{{London}}, so Kobras sets off to determine who his foe is by hurling potential candidates out of windows. Only the Pumaman could survive that, y'see.

Our hero is Tony Farms (Walter George Alton), an American paleontologist who is quickly discovered by Vadinho (Miguel Ángel Fuentes), an Aztec priest[[note]]from the Andes Plateau[[/note]] of the space-gods. The hulking holy man becomes Tony's mentor by hurling him out a window, chasing him around a university, and breaking into his apartment to aggressively push his belief system and fashion accessories. Tony is understandably reluctant to get involved in all this, but after mind-controlled love interest Jane Dobson (Sydne Rome) is used to lure him into a trap, Tony finally accepts his heroic destiny and a magical Aztec belt, transforming into the mighty Pumaman!

Now firmly allied with Vadinho, Tony sets about mastering his puma-derived superpowers to get the sacred mask out of Kobras' hands. He can see in the dark, sense danger, "leap" great distances (or fly, the writers don't seem to be sure), teleport, and feign death quite convincingly -- you know, standard puma stuff. Oh, and his fingers can act as super-strong "claws", which Vadinho belatedly remembers to mention in the middle of a major battle. And possibly super-strength, which he uses to flip a car over and break the ropes he's bound with late in the movie, but not much else. Anyway, with these skills in hand, Tony heroically attacks Kobras' mansion stronghold, is ''soundly'' defeated, gets caught by Kobras' hypnosis, retreats, loses his superpowers through Kobras' mental commands, is nearly DrivenToSuicide by Kobras' [[MindScrew mind games]], and heroically plays dead until the villain's minions go away.

Vadinho then leads his ''own'' assault against Kobras, using a suicide belt to bluff his way inside. The Aztec resists the villain's hypnotism and demolishes his command center, while Jane Dobson smashes Tony's papier-mâché head, removing Kobras' mental control over him and restoring his powers. Pumaman quickly teleports to the rescue and helps the Aztec take down wave after wave of mooks, prompting Kobras to make a run for it. In the end, Tony is ''barely'' able to overcome an elderly bald man and cause Kobras' helicopter to crash, the golden mask is recovered, Vadinho gets beamed up by the alien-god-things, and Tony and Jane join the Quarter-MileHighClub.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Stonehenge is ''not'' on the coast... or above sea level...

* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Type II (Animal Alias). His powers are only vaguely catlike, though.
-->'''Mike:''' I don't mean to be picky, but pumas aren't really known for flying...
** Vadinho does refer a few times to the Great God Puma, so Pumaman may derive thematically from a catlike Aztec ''god'', not from the cat itself.

* BadassNative[=/=]BadassPreacher: Admittedly Vadinho's a preacher of the most ridiculous religion since Happyology, but it still counts!

-->'''Mike:''' [[AnalProbing And we hear the dim cry of an anal probe…]]

* ChromaKey: Badly, badly done.

* DrivingADesk: Tony's flying scenes:
-->'''Mike''': He has the power to rear-project major cities!

--> '''Tom:''' At all times he has the look of a man who's been hit with a fish.

-->'''Tom:''' A Zubaz top, a [[LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine lab coat]] and a veil ... it works.

-->'''Mike:''' Help! I'm falling at a sixty-degree angle, breaking all the laws of physics!

* {{Leitmotif}}: The happy bouncy "flying" music. Mike and the Bots start writing lyrics for it after a while, as if it were a commercial jingle.
-->'''Crow:''' When you want the flavor of bacon in a dip....

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot:
** This is an Italian movie. Set in England. About an American. With Aztec superpowers.
** Also the [[{{Mayincatec}} Aztec]]/[[AncientAstronauts alien]]/[[NeglectfulPrecursors precursor]]/[[PhysicalGod gods]] who apparently [[LandmarkOfLore built Stonehenge]], [[MarsNeedsWomen bred with humans]], and may or may not [[MindScrew have anything to do with pumas]].

* OurGodsAreDifferent
-->'''Mike:''' Whole ''Bible'' thing? Bunch of hooey. It's all about aliens and spinnin' globes.

* PornStache: Worn by many of the villains. May explain some of the awkward sequences. ([[SpecialEffectFailure Maybe not.]])

-->"Sam Elliot is Ted Turner in ''The Gregory Peck Story!''"

* PowerPerversionPotential: [[spoiler:[[MileHighClub Apparently doing the nasty while hovering in mid-air]] is "the only way to make little Puma Men."]]
* [[DrivingADesk Rear Projection]]: Dear ''God'' is it misused for major SpecialEffectFailure. Note to producers: keep the camera ''steady'' for the flying sequences. Director Alberto De Martino said that the producer had bought a special camera in Germany for the flying effects, but his technicians didn’t know how to use it properly. To avoid going over schedule, they shot all the flying with bluescreen in two days.
* RummageSaleReject: The Pumaman -- Khaki slacks and a half-cape/poncho?
-->'''Mike:''' They gave him the Captain Dork costume by mistake.

* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Inverted. The Pumaman can tear apart an old Jaguar (car) with his bare hands and rip into a brick wall, but has trouble overcoming Kobras in a struggle.
-->'''Mike:''' So, ripping through metal doors, no problem; subduing stocky senior citizens, that's another story.
** It's inconsistent whether he's supposed to have actual super-strength, or just super-strong finger "claws" to rip into things. It's mostly shown as the latter, but at one point he lifts up a car and flips it over, and late in the movie he easily breaks ropes that were binding him [[spoiler: when he recovers his powers.]]

-->'''Mike:''' You know, my mom had a pair of earrings that did the same thing.

* VoodooShark: As mentioned in WhyDontYouJustShootHim, below, Kobras telling his thugs not to shoot Tony to make sure he's dead really makes no sense. Kobras had no problem [[DestinationDefenestration chucking four people out of high rise windows in broad daylight]] ''before'' he controlled half the government and the police force. The man can literally get away with murder and already has. It's obvious that the real reason he tells them not to shoot is because then the rest of the movie would be Vadinho cleaning things up by himself and then spending the rest of his days living with the guilt of having gotten TheChosenOne killed stupidly. It would have actually made more sense if the thugs just hadn't even brought it up at all.

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: When Kobras' thugs find Tony playing dead, Ranker suggests putting a bullet in him to make absolutely sure. Kobras says no, because he wants it to look like an accident, [[FridgeLogic although since by this point Kobras has mind-controlled half the government, you have to wonder why.]] Put another way:
-->'''Mike:''' ''[as Kobras]'' No, that would be cheating.

* HotScientist: Jane Dobson. Yes, really, Jane is supposed to be an archaeologist.

''The Pumaman'', also known as ''Puma Man'', ''The Pyooma Man'', ''Thep Yewmaymin'', or ''L'Uomo Puma'', is a 1980s superhero movie produced by Italians in English.

* HealingFactor In the [=MST3K=] version, Vadinho's injuries from being beaten up by Kobras' mooks are unexplainedly healed. A scene removed from [=MST3K=] has him doing a ritual to heal all his wounds.

** Ostensibly Tony. He's the title character, he has some decent super powers (albeit with some of the worst special effects supporting them) which he gets a handle on how to use really quickly, and he has he occasional good idea to drive the plot forward (like sneaking a tracker into Jane's car to find Kobras' hideout). But he also has no willpower to resist the very artifact he's supposed to be the protector of, in addition to being smarmy, whiny, and not very bright overall.[[note]]The actor was probably going for "charming and roguish", but he missed the mark by a mile.[[/note]]

* HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler:Vadinho, naturally has the willpower to resist the mind-control mask. Even ''Jane'' is able to overcome it instead of shooting the Pumaman.]] But our "hero," Tony? Nope.

* IdiotHero: We're probably not supposed to come to this conclusion, but Tony is clearly not a bright man. His theory on the dinosaur's extinction also make one question his qualifications as a paleontologist, though that may have just been a terrible attempt at a pick-up line rather than what he believes. He's very much DistractedByTheSexy in that scene.

* GlassCannon: Tony is super strong and fast and can fly, but the one thing he's lacking from Superman's standard FlyingBrick package is the immunity to bullets, so Tony has to dodge gunfire.

* TheLoad: Tony. [[spoiler:Though, to his credit, he ''does'' figure out a way to find Kobras' mansion and even kills Kobras at the end, though with far more trouble than a guy with superhuman attributes should really have against an elderly man.]]

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Tony's first instinct after learning invulnerability is NOT one of his powers is to fly away. Vidinho quickly points out that since Kobras knows Tony is the Pumaman there's no place Tony could hide.

* NoSell: Vadinho no sells a jump kick during the fight at the end.

!!''Puma Man'' contains examples of:

* AncientAstronauts: Traveling in space bathyspheres. Who apparently look like pumas, have terrible taste in fashion, and tend to leave mind control artifacts laying around.

** Vadinho does refer a few times to the Great God Puma, so Puma Man may derive thematically from a catlike Aztec ''god'', not from the cat itself.
* AndStarring: Both Sydne Rome (billed as "Special Guest Star" - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiqiRyFKUQM she was popular on the Continent at the time]]) and Miguel Ángel Fuentes he gets a "With").

* ComboPlatterPowers: Puma Man's ''[[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands displayed]]'' powers include SuperStrength, SuperReflexes, flight, teleportation, intangibility, the ability to see in darkness, a DangerSense and [[FlightStrengthHeart the ability to send himself into a death-like coma]].

* DangerSense: An awkward implementation. It manifests by giving him a headache and/or a dizzy spell several minutes before the actual danger occurs, and gives him no indication of what the danger will be or where it'll come from. Worse, half the time he just ignores it. (For example, Vadinho warned him that his life would be in danger at the Dutch embassy, his danger sense goes off at the Dutch embassy, but he's still taken completely by surprise when Kobras' thugs attack him at the Dutch embassy)

* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Heroically! Witness as Puma Man fakes his own death so Kobras will leave him alone]] and he can let Vadinho do everything!

* HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler:Vadinho, naturally has the willpower to resist the mind-control mask. Even ''Jane'' is able to overcome it instead of shooting the Puma Man.]] But our "hero," Tony? Nope.
* HighAltitudeInterrogation: Puma Man grabs one of Kobras' mooks and flies him up high in the air and repeatedly drops him to lower heights until Puma Man is satisfied with the information he receives.

* LegacyCharacter: The Puma Man is handed down from father to son, for at least two previous generations according to the film (Tony's father and grandfather).

* MondegreenGag: Tony's friend Martin somehow mishears (or misremembers) "Puma Man" as "Sandwich Man".

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Since the Puma Man's powers are never actually defined, pretty much anything he does counts as this. He will constantly be informed of another power ''just in time'' for him to use it right then and there. [[spoiler:He even discovers the power to temporarily die right when Kobras is trying to make him do just that.]]

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:One Of Puma Man's powers.]]

* PoesLaw: There's a debate whether the movie was intentionally trying to be goofy with the way Puma Man flies. [=MST3K=]'s Paul Chaplin believes this was a form of subtle humor on the part of the filmmakers while the rest of the writers believed everything was done seriously. Tony's pose was probably intentional (he's trying to imitate a four-legged "pouncing" pose rather than a Superman-like flying pose), but the terrible special effects are probably not intentional.

* RummageSaleReject: The Puma Man - Khaki slacks and a half-cape/poncho?

* SecretLegacy: Not that you'd want to put "the Puma Man" on your resume or anything...

* ShapedLikeItself: During the introduction, the gods assure us that the Puma Man will have all the powers of... a Puma Man (thereby justifying NewPowersAsThePlotDemands).

* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Inverted. The Puma Man can tear apart an old Jaguar (car) with his bare hands and rip into a brick wall, but has trouble overcoming Kobras in a struggle.

* SuperHeroOrigin: His dad was secretly a Puma Man; then, one day, an Aztec introduced him to defenestration.
* SuperReflexes: Puma Man doesn't have invulnerability or enhanced durability, he has this instead.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: One of Puma Man's many powers.

* TooDumbToLive: One of Kobras' henchmen tries to shoot Tony during the previously-mentioned HighAltitudeInterrogation. For once in the movie, Tony is justified in calling ''someone else'' an idiot -- pointing out to the thug he's interrogating that if he shoots Tony while they're hovering, Tony will drop the thug to his death.

:: It's inconsistent whether he's supposed to have actual super-strength, or just super-strong finger "claws" to rip into things. It's mostly shown as the latter, but at one point he lifts up a car and flips it over, and late in the movie he easily breaks ropes that were binding him [[spoiler:when he recovers his powers.]]

* SurvivalMantra: "Each man is a god... each man is free... each man is a god..." [[spoiler:it helps Vadinho resist the mask's mind controlling power.]]

* BadassNormal: Again, Vadinho, though how "normal" he is (he's strong enough to rip apart cars with his bare hands, and can magically heal himself) could be up for debate.

* TheEighties: Though the film came out early on in 1980, meaning it had most likely been filmed prior to the end of TheSeventies, not to mention the disco-esque music & other things.
* EleventhHourSuperpower:
** Because his {{mentor|Archetype}} ''forgot to mention'' that "your hands are claws" during the earlier orientation. Though Tony might have been able to extrapolate this from his name if his powers weren't so random.
** Later, he is told he has the ability to [[spoiler:fake his own death just as Kobras commands him to kill himself. This apparently satisfies the command, because the compulsion is gone when he wakes up.]]

** MoreHeroThanThou: Even depowered, Tony ''did'' insist on going along with [[spoiler:Vadinho's suicide mission]]...
** MoreExpendableThanYou: ...but Vadinho ''really'' insisted on going alone. With his fist.

** VillainousValor: Once the tables have turned and Tony has Kobras in the eye of the mind-control device, even he is able to better resist it than Tony, leading to his escape.

* IMeantToDoThat: There's a debate whether the movie was intentionally trying to be goofy with the way Puma Man flies. [=MST3K=]'s Paul Chaplin believes this was a form of subtle humor on the part of the filmmakers while the rest of the writers believed everything was done seriously.
** His pose was probably intentional (he's trying to imitate a four-legged "pouncing" pose rather than a Superman-like flying pose), but the terrible special effects are probably not intentional.

* {{Mayincatec}}: The film creators apparently did a smattering of work on early American cultures and then threw it all out and went with whatever they thought looked or sounded cool. (They thought wrong)

* MightyWhitey: Vadinho is far more capable, but Tony is the main character, because.
** And it runs in the family as Tony's father was also the Aztec's mighiest protector instead of, say, an Aztec.

** His powers are whatever Vadinho tells him his powers are.
** A superhero based entirely around the [[MagicFeather Placebo Effect]]? That sounds like a ''way'' better movie than this!
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: This is an Italian movie. Set in England. About an American. With Aztec superpowers.

* [[DrivingADesk Rear Projection]]: Dear ''God'' is it misused for major SpecialEffectFailure. Note to producers: keep the camera ''steady'' for the flying sequences.

''Puma Man'', also known as ''The Puma Man'', ''The Pyooma Man'', ''The Pyewmaymin'', or ''L'Uomo Puma'', is a 1980s superhero movie produced by Italians in English.
