Should you see it? Yes. It has enough silliness to make it bearable.
Donald Pleasance is the villain in this Italian-made superhero film. There's an Aztec legend complete with aliens, a golden mask that can make its wearer rule the world, hypnosis, and a superhero who is actually called the "worst I have ever seen." Pumaman can fly (because, of course, the power of the Puma would be flight), so he's being sought by throwing men out of windows. The fight scenes are not good and even Pleasance beats up the hero. The flying by being suspended on wires before a green screen and then standing up and looking around is true bottom-of-the-barrel stuff. Hypnosis by moving the camera doesn't help. And there's a sickening love theme as well. I see that MST3K parodied this, but I haven't seen their version.
