Stalwart of many a previous Tomas Tang ninja flick released under Filmark International's banner and hiding under various other pseudonyms whilst usually playing a sneering, villainous role, Jonathan Isgar (if this is indeed the actors real name) here gets to play the good guy for a change.....and a highly memorable good guy at that! When he is scratched by a radioactive cat(!) our man develops superhuman powers including laser vision and electro/psychokinetic abilities which he puts to honourable use in the fight against crime and more especially against the evil satanic priest, Cheever who is intending to take over the world....or something. Of course, with Alton Cheung i.e. the legendary Godfrey Ho at the helm, this is typically a cut & paste slap up so don't expect to be seeing too much of our masked crusader sadly. Even more regretfully, the film into which Catman's scenes have been edited is a hopelessly mundane Filipino action outing starring hardworking Thai superstar, Sorapong Chatri who as if to further indicate how bland matters in his scenes are, himself looks somewhat disinterested in the unfolding events. Nonetheless, although said factor does admittedly detract from the overall enjoyment level experienced from the film, don't let such scenes of tedium put you off viewing this, for the sequences in which Catman features are truly priceless stuff indeed! The jewel in the crown here is doubtlessly the hilarious, profanity filled dialogue though which just has to be experienced to be believed. Indeed, our hero himself is not above letting off some meticulously placed 'F' words in the face of danger.....or when dispatching of a foe in style! Believe the hype, Catman In Lethal Track is a true bad movie delight and is highly recommended for fans of warped, wayward quality! So good is this in fact, that a sequel inevitably followed although, it has to be said was sadly not nearly as much fun.

Well this is one movie that I stumbled upon. A friend of mine sold me a bunch of dvds and Catman was one of them. The plot seems to jump from one point to another. First we have a guy named Sam who gets scratched by a radioactive cat, thus giving him superhuman powers. Next the plot jumps to a girl who looks like a boy who drives a dirtbike and has a shotgun. Than, the story goes to a group of Asian rebels at war with a group criminals led by a guy with an eyepatch. Sam or Catman, however goes into battle with a priest named Cheever. I found it overall to be an amusing effort to throw a movie together with a small budget. I would recommend it to those who like strange, cheap budget movies. But thats just my views.

ah yes, catman.its an awful dub with stiff voice actors and poor acting in general. basically we have a middle aged guy who gets scratched by a radioactive cat. all of a sudden he can turn his tv ON AND OFF without a remote, thats right fellas, no remote, no buttons, CRAZY SPECIAL EFFECTS EH?after that, he decided it would be a good idea if he punched a hole in his apartment, so he does.in the night he magically aquires a black jumpsuit with a sticker of a cat on it, some visor with a plastic dongle in the middle and a cat computer. we dont' see the cat computer, but we can only assume it must be awesome. this movie is really like two stories in one, you get to watch a bunch of angry asian guys talk with each other, kill people, and swear for no apparent reason. 2 stories in one indeed. catman and the angry asians never really meet.the ending is simply FANTASTICi'd say this film is well worth the purchase price, i found it in the 1 dollar bin at a used bookstore. the cover alone is hilarious. just buy it if you see it, it'll make you laugh when you watch it, and it'll make you cry when its over...once you realize it wasn't supposed to be funny.i can't tell you what happens in the end, but i can say that the plastic dongle on his glasses ends up being the most important dongle the world has EVER seen.

I HOPE you are kidding by saying that this movie is great. I mean, don't get me wrong, it is fun in an MST3K sort of way... but to actually say this is a good movie in print, well, that could get you sued for libel. I mean, this movie SUCKED in every sense of the word and to make matters worse, it told two completely separate stories that didn't even connect! What was with Catman's secret weapon? It looked like concentrated cat urine! I don't even know what this movie was supposed to be about. Davis Lynch couldn't follow this crap plot. On the other hand, it is enjoyable to watch because of all the bad lines, horrible acting, lame special effects, and the overall guano story. Bottomline: Pick this up if you want a good, cheap laugh. In the words of the great Tom Servo, "Still, it's a better movie than Batman and Robin."
