That was Dave Speed's brilliant explanation for the loss of his superpowers.
I am ashamed to admit I spent most of the summer of 1985 watching this after I'd taped it on HBO. Those precious days will never return, but at least watching Superfuzz was better than real life for me back in 85.
All these years later, to this day, I can sing you the theme song. Now I just need to convince my wife to watch it (5-10 minutes will do).
I give it a 7 just because the pre-adolescent in me deserves a voice too.

I bought this movie for a buddy, we were both kids when we watched this film originally. so of course I had to watch it again.
I had mostly forgotten it until the scene -- Dave speed can't shoot an alligator, so holds his gun into the air and shoots (I guess to scare the alligator). He shoots a Nuclear missile (which happened to be flying past), which then explodes giving him his super powers--- later...
Next he has figured out he has powers--he makes a truck roll backwards, using his new telekinetic powers, then (and the facial expressions are great for a laugh) he uses his powers to push it sideways into a parallel parking spot. (Background singers) "Super Superrrr!!!" Hilarious back then--even funnier now though, retrospectively.

I remember first watching this film way back when it was in heavy rotation on HBO in the early 80s. This was long before I discovered Terence Hill's Spaghetti Westerns like My Name Is Nobody and his Trinity films. I certainly didn't know anything about Sergio Corbucci's impressive body of work. What I did know was that Terence Hill and Ernest Borgnine made for a lot of laughs. The film was never meant to be taken seriously. That should be obvious from the title alone. It's a parody. It's slapstick. It's fun.
If you're not into that sort of thing you probably won't like the film. Of course, if you're not into that sort of thing I don't know why you'd be watching a film called Super Fuzz to begin with.
If you have a sense of humor and enjoy films like Police Academy and Trinity, you'll probably enjoy Super Fuzz.

The last time I saw Super Fuzz had to be about 15 years ago. That was probably the 50th time I had seen it. Even though it has been a while since I've seen Super Fuzz, I remember that it was a movie I was fond of and probably will always be fond of. It was about a police officer that acquired super powers by witnessing a nuclear explosion. Sure, it wasn't that original and it was a bit comic bookish, but that is not what made the movie. What made the movie is what he did with his new found super powers that he lost whenever he saw the color red. Oh this movie was hilarious. He did one silly thing after another with his powers all the while he annoyed the heck out of his partner. This was an excellent family movie that was just plain funny. The actors chosen for the main characters were a perfect fit and the story just flowed. I give Super Fuzz high marks, it is a must see.
i could not with a good conscience give this film a 10, but 8 is fair. when i saw this movie again since about twenty years ago, i was elated. i remember bits and pieces of this movie, especially the music, and the voice "super snooper", i remember like yesterday being a little boy looking at this flick, and being amazed that Dave Speed caught that bullet in his mouth, WOW! this movie came up in a conversation with one of my co-workers Mike. and he gave me the name of this movie that i could not for the life of me remember. when i found out it was coming out again in February, i waited patiently and ordered it immediately. this movie is so cool, i love it. this is definitely a classic and should not be forgotten.
