Adventures of El Frenetico and Go Girl (1993)

Sick Product of a Sick System

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is a video that owes the bulk of its existence to the 1966 vintage ABC series "Batman." Fans of that show will instantly recognize the set ups, the style, the over the top villains and the camp qualities of that classic program that are mimicked in this series of three vignettes that feature a reluctant Latino hero and his Asian sidekick battling three different quirky antagonists.It's strictly a no-budget production, but it's so smart and charming and funny that it actually works pretty well.Also notable are the fight scenes which are surprisingly good and even more realistic than the ones from Batman, not as if that's a challenge. But Frances Lee and Madoka Raine were especially excellent at their combat, and that gives the film a sense of gritty realism, even as it is camping everything up.I do wish there was either more episodes or another attempt at a second mini series of vignettes, as there were questions left unanswered, and implications left unresolved, some things that never would have (or could have) happened on the TV-G rated "Batman!" Still if you liked the Camp of the 1960s Dynamic Duo, you have to find a copy of this and view it!

3 separate episodes. We absolutely love this series of Masked Superhero/tvland tributes. The stars: Charlie Pellegrino and as his sidekick Frances Lee play roles straight. 1st Episode-Wax Terror,Master criminal(aren't they all) Syphon makes zombies from the victims of his snack cakes.The look,costumes and story remind one of the best of classic Batman(c)television. Hulk Hogan and other masked Mexican wrestlers who act could learn some stunts from EL and GO. 2nd Episode-Crimes of Fashion,Think of Pat Bishow being able to control MTVs House Of Style,ewww. The FOP,is a villain much like any that Adam West ever socked. In the second episode Bishow also introduces ELs rival from his wrestling days,El Fuerte.El Frenetico is shown,in a ...more realistic mode-with Dark Knight weakness issues. Don't think mention was made of the title animated sequences ala Spiderman of '60s animation and Chacters have there own theme songs with Words ! 3rd and maybe finale - Shades Of Crime,at last a little spice with lesbian/heroine overtones. Syphon from the first episode breaks out of jail with help from Shade(Madoka Raine). See by now,the fans have taken to Go(Frances Lee) and her trusty spandex;putting her in danger with a Siamese Catwoman...well,Anime be damned-Buddy ! Guestar thinks this is perhaps one of the best group of films we took a potshot at,Well done Pat Bishow and his Asian Goddesses .

This is a very low budget film that is a lot of fun! Great acting! Check it out! It's the story of an over the hill super hero and his very spunky (and cute) partner, Go-Girl. Reminds me of the old 60s Batman tv show, though it's updated with grown-up subject matter. It reminds me of people shooting on their own, but as if they had some talent. Both in the acting and directing. Amusement Films (the producers) have made a few of these cheap productions. But what they lack in money they make up for in effort. Lots of fun!
