has the power to leap tall buildings in a single bound; strangely enough.

John Agar wasn't in it, but Flabio Pootner might have been.

I think Flabio's real name was Flloyd but changed it for professional reasons. That's what I heard.

I heard he was stuck up. Oh, well. You know those Hollywood types. Even if they're not from Hollywood.

Stuck up on the ceiling?

Worse -- on himself. As time went on, his success in films brought in regular income and he began to eat just as regular. His good looks faded, obscured by unforgiving weigh gain, his face became not much more than a blob, his once famous torso grew moreso and he found it difficult to even get an audition for the smallest of roles.

Somewhere in the 80's, according to his close and loyal friend, Giorgio "Bootys, " Valentine (nee "Mertzola"), Flabio took to working with his brother-in-law slicing bread.

His heart still beat for the spotlight and as often as he could would slag off work to audition for roles. He was soon fired from his job and wihtout any recourse took to working as a bouncer. He kept alive his dream to return to the heights of stardom.

By the mid-90's, Valentine had lost contact with him and at the time was keeping body and soul together making take-out buckets for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

A major motion picture is said to be in the works about the story of his incredible life. Tobey Maguire is lobbying for the part.

That's what I heard.

I heard "The Return of Maciste DIsguised as a Pantaloon" was in the works and Arnold Scwartinbooger is attached. It could be a real leap for him, but only if he doesn't stretch his petard.

I heard the same thing but I thought it was just a Jackie Gleason lie!

Personally, I'd think it would be perfect for Mad Max himself, Mel Gibson. He's pinning his hopes for a comeback in Mad Max IV: Fury Road but I think it is a mistake. Return of Maciste... is talior made for him!

Very talior, I'd say, if I had a mouth.

Got this film on now. Laughing so hard at its terrible brilliance! In terms of sheer randomness and comedy gold though..... It has NOTHING on this thread! Thanks people!
