Quotes:

Beth: You vanished.
Daniel Leight: Well, it appears to be a side effect of the radiation. Well, I - that's at least what I think it is. And, uh, I didn't vanish. I... I move faster than you can see.
Beth: Lightspeed? You gotta be kidding me? *It's* you? In that little - that little outfit?
Daniel Leight: Oh, well, that's absolutely necessary for aerodynamics.
Beth: And what about the insignia?
Daniel Leight: Well, that's not strictly necessary, but can you keep a secret?
Beth: Yeah. Of course I can keep your secret. You'd better be home by morning, okay? That's an order.

So bad I am embarrassed

This was the worst movie I have seen on sci-fi and they are notorious for producing the worst movies ever.

I cannot believe Stan lee put his name on this but after seeing who wants to be a superhero I now know.

I will start with the plot. Flash meets Darkman nuff said, nothing original. Casting, our lead hero has a comb over and looks like he's pushing 50 plus. The henchman look like no-budget porn extras. And the effects were ridiculous, even the Flash TV series from 16 years ago had better effects. If this was made in the 1950's that would explain the really bad special effects. The story and dialog you can imagine is par with the rest of the production value. Okay the worst thing was our hero's costume, he goes to a sporting goods store and the salesman goes in the back and gets his suit, that's it. And it looks like a costume from a homemade comic book fan movie. I would say I liked the python character until his comical fight scenes.

Watching QVC is more entertaining.
