Title: Old Super hero movie...
Post by: Feragor on July 01, 2010, 11:54:30 AM
I need help i been looking for this movie for ages.
Its a old Super hero movie i dont now what age its from but it should be around 1970s and 1980s.
I Remember a little from the begining of the movie i was not old when i saw it the first time.. well here goes.
I remember some one being hunted by some gang members and killed in front of is friend or partner .. think they where cops.
Any way after a little time into the movie the dead guy returns in a alien space ship and gives the friend/partner a Belt where he gain super powers, he lost the manual for the belt and have to learn how to use it from the beginning with out the help of the book.
So can any one recall this movie?
It would be absolutly great if i could find the name of this good old movie ...

There are some inconsistencies, but this sounds like the TV Show "The Greatest American Hero."  Perhaps you saw the pilot episode?

I agree with Andrew.  Above is what the main character in costume looks like.  Not a bad TV show.
