The series, now a feature
24 January 2015
So, the filmmakers quite cleverly pulled a "Man From U.N.C.L.E.". Back in the day, "Man From U.N.C.L.E." producers took some of their two part episodes, re cut them and released them in theaters as feature films. Here, the Superseven gang, re edited episodes from season one of the series "Adventures Of Superseven" into the feature length "They Call Me Superseven". You get an 85 minute version of the 15 episodes of the first season, cut together to give the viewer a complete story arc. All of the elements and key scenes are in place. The cast is superb, Jerry Kokich IS "Superseven", with all that great Adam West delivery. Olivia Dunkley smolders as "Sandra West", one of the all time great, sexiest killing machines (With a hair trigger temper and slightly warped moral compass!). Anne Leighton just shines as the adorably naive mechanical genius "Sparky" (Who is in love with Superseven and fantasizes about being a spy and murdering Sandra West!). Fans of the series will miss some of the closing credit goofs and additional scenes, but the series is the series and the movie is the movie! It's all good, all fun and a fond throwback to the spy craze of the 1960's!
