Welcome to a special Ides of March edition of 4 Shots From 4 Films. These 4 shots are taken from 4 diverse films about the Roman Empire (which, of course, was a direct result of events that occurred long ago on the Ides of March).
4 Shots From 4 Films
Cleopatra (1963, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz)
The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964, dir by Anthony Mann)
Caligula (1979, dir by Tinto Brass, et al)
Titus (1999, dir by Julie Taymor)
I am in the middle of watching the Indian film Dariya Dil (1988), which is commonly known as Indian Superman and Spiderwoman. It’s awesome, but I won’t be able to have it finished by tonight or maybe even tomorrow. As a result, I thought I would share four more superhero knockoff movies that I won’t be able to review because I don’t have subtitles for them.
Little Hero (1967, dir. Reza Safai)
This film from India apparently has not only Superman in it, but Tarzan and The Ringo Kid. That also looks like it could be Supergirl. I thought that only the Filipinos knocked off Supergirl. Apparently, even before we did the Helen Slater movie.
Computer Superman (1977, dir. Sompote Sands)
This movie from Thailand is mainly about the Thai version of The Six Million Dollar Man, but also has a host of other characters such as this guy who has giant ears.
Return of Mr. Superman (1960, dir. Manmohan Sabir)
Like Superman a bunch, but wish he looked more like Spy Smasher? No worries. This 1960 Indian film has got you covered. He flies and everything! Strangely, there was another Indian movie that came out the same year with the same lead actor, but was just called Superman. Oh, and yes, I am aware there is a Turkish Spy Smasher, but I have subtitles for that one.
Asi kabadayi/Turkish Wolverine (1986, dir. Çetin Inanç)
From probably the king of Turkish knockoffs comes the movie that has become known as Turkish Wolverine. You could also call it Turkish Rambo Wolverine if you want. I mean he does shoot arrows as well, and is played by Serdar Kebapçilar who played Turkish Rambo. I swear there’s Turkish everything.
20 years ago today, the great Italian director Lucio Fulci passed away in Rome. In the years following his death, Fulci has somehow managed to be both one of the most influential and one of the most underappreciated directors of all time. This edition of 4 Shots From 4 Films is dedicated to Fulci’s memory and his legacy.
(We’ve dedicated two editions of 4 Shots From 4 Films to Fulci in the past. Take a look at them here and here. Fortunately, Fulci was one of the most visually inventive directors of all time. Even the lesser, low-budget films that he made towards the end of his career can be counted on to offer up at least one memorably surreal shot.)

Perversion Story (1969, dir by Lucio Fulci)
Zombi 2 (1969, dir by Lucio Fulci)
The Beyond (1981, dir by Lucio Fulci)
The New York Ripper (1982, dir by Lucio Fulci)
Sometimes when you are trying to find Superman and Batman knockoffs you come across ones where you just can’t track down English subtitles. Here are four of them. The first and last are from a long running series of Supermen movies. The second is one of at least three 1980’s Indian Superman movies. The third is some sort of Batman like movie from South Korea. Despite not having any idea what they are saying, I can still take screenshots!
Supermen (1970, dir. Bitto Albertini)
