I used to love this movie, and would equally love to see it again. When I was in the 1st grade (1979-1980), my school's t-shirt had a lion's face on the front as our mascot. I used to constantly pretend that it WAS Sammy's super t-shirt. The only thing I couldn't do was run backwards, like the skid that stole it in the movie and put it on backwards. I don't remember too much of it since I haven't seen it in the last 25 years or so, but I just remember as a kid being totally into it. It was 70's kid television at it's best. Anyway, if anyone is interested in selling a copy, I'd be all about logging into PayPal to make it happen.

I'm so happy to learn the title of this movie. I remember it being shown to our elementary school in the 80s when we'd a have special movie day in the gymnasium where all grades got to watch. I thought I recalled it being a projected movie, but if it was a TV movie, then it must have just been something one of the teachers recorded and played back on the "giant silver top loading VCR." Same as a poster up above, I wasn't even sure I had really seen this or imagined it. The movies that stick in my mind from elementary school viewings are Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Disney's Ichabod Crane, the Pippi Longstocking movies (I had no idea as a child that she was poorly dubbed) and now that I know the name, Sammy's Super T-shirt.

For about the past 10 years I have been trying to figure out whether this was a real movie or just something I imagined when I was very little. After hours spent on the internet, I found that dozens of other people remember the same things about this movie that I did. It's about some kid that gets powers from a shirt with a tiger on it and races. I really want to see this movie again, seeing as I remember basically nothing about it, but I gave it a 10 out of 10 just for actually existing. I really hope that it will eventually get a release on VHS or DVD! For those interested it does have its own website (the URL I don't remember) but the site is really great.

When i was a little boy, in the 80's i used to go round my grandma's and watch this film as she had it on video taped off the television. My brothers and cousin's all thought it was a class film. I think this film is sheer QUALITY. My Grandma has since taped over it. I've now disowned her ! I always hide now when she comes to visit...... :)
