 Description
[Machine Translation] Dark hero entertainment from Italy born out of respect for Japanese culture! Kotetsu Jeeg", an anime written by Go Nagai, was first broadcast in Japan in 1975 and became very popular when it was broadcast in Italy in 1979. Director Gabriele Mainetti, who has been a big fan of Japanese anime since he was a boy, used "Kotetsu Jeeg" as an important motif for this film, which is the first full-fledged dark hero entertainment from an Italian film! Claudio Santamaria, who has gained 20 kilograms, plays the hero Enzo, and Luca Marinelli, a young actor, plays his nemesis Zingaro in an insane performance reminiscent of Heath Ledger's villainous role in "The Dark Knight". --The story takes place in the suburbs of Rome in the present day under the threat of terrorism. Enzo, a lone thug walking the backstreets, suddenly finds himself endowed with superhuman powers. At first, Enzo uses his powers for personal gain, but when his "father" is killed during a black market deal and he is forced to take care of his surviving daughter, Alessia, he awakens to the need for justice in order to protect her. Alethea is an avid fan of the anime "Steel Jeeg" who never takes off her DVDs. She sees Enzo, who has gained great strength, as the same as Hiroshi Shiba, the main character in the anime, and adores him. The leader of an evil organization, Zingaro, stands in their way...
