A little bit Green Hornet, a little bit Buck Rogers, a little bit politically incorrect, Portugal has a new superhero blazing across its television screens with Joao Leitao's Capitao Falcao. Lifting shamelessly from a fistful of sources with a style that is as much tribute as it is parody Capitao Falcao follows the exploits of a fascist superhero and his erstwhile sidekick fighting against the red menace in the Salazar era. Communism will be kicked in the face!
Capitao Falcao looks to hit just the right balance between intentional goofiness and legitimate skill in its first trailer, which you can find below.
This was presented as a surprise short during the opening night of the MOTELx - Lisbon International Horror Film Festival, on 7 September, before «The Troll Hunter». There's a subtitled version on Youtube. I hope they can go ahead with the series!
Wow. This looks like a TV series.
