Pass **(TWO STARS)

Umm I didn't like this movie but you might, especially if you are a fan of campy fun cult classic movies.  The first time I watched this movie I felt it was painful to endure however the second time I watched Surge of Power: The Stuff of Heroes got much funnier and I have to tell you if you’re a fan of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and can laugh at the silly then this is your movie. 

Are you ready for a gay super hero?  The good thing is this movie is just that a gay guy who becomes a gay super hero.  I also enjoyed that this movie was quite obviously made for a gay audience for both the lines and actors were over the top very gay.  Once you are capable of looking past the extremely low budget and the over acting this movie becomes a tongue in cheek funny film.  Vincent J. Roth  the writer/ producer/ and star of this film will be at all the midnight showings at the gateway in Fort Lauderdale, and he will also be all around town helping to promote this movie at several clubs.
My one annoyance, and I don't know why this happened if it was due to the low budget or if he was a producer, or the directors boyfriend or how this made it past the editing room, but there was this huge actor who was a camera hog and was in every scene as many different characters from a hot dog vendor to a comic salesman to a cook to a guy walking by etc... it was annoying he was in every scene and every time I saw this guy it irritated me.

There are several big names from the sci fi community in this movie such as Lou Ferrigno TV's Incredible Hulk, Noel Neill the original Lois Lane from Super Man, Nichelle Nichols from TV's Star Trek, Bob May from TV's Lost in space, Bobby Trendy from the Anna Nicole Smith Show and several more.

This is a Fun Comedy/Sci Fi movie that will sure be be on the Campy Cult Classics list very soon. 
Surge of Power: The Stuff of Heroes Surge of Power: The Stuff of Heroes

Comedy. This humorous sci-fi flick follows a fan of comic books, who picks up a comic book called SURGE OF POWER, which is about a guy who is a fan of...you guessed it, comic books. As he reads about his fictional doppelganger, life imitates art, our real-life hero turns into a superhero. Vincent J. Roth stars, and appearances from genre stars Lou Ferrigno and Nichelle Nichols add to the melee. 85 minutes. Not Rated.
