After spoofing
disaster films in
Airplane!,
police shows in
The Naked Gun, and Hollywood
horrors in
Scary Movie 3 and
4, producer
David Zucker sets his satirical sights on the
superhero genre with this
anarchic comedy lampooning everything from
Spider-Man to
X-Men and
Superman Returns. Shortly after being bitten by a genetically altered
dragonfly, high-school outcast
Rick Riker (
Drake Bell) begins to experience a startling transformation. Now
Rick's skin is as strong as steel, and he possesses the strength of ten men. Determined to use his newfound powers to fight crime,
Rick creates a special costume and assumes the identity of
The Dragonfly -- a fearless crime fighter dedicated to keeping the streets safe for law-abiding citizens. But every superhero needs a nemesis, and after
Lou Landers (
Christopher McDonald) is caught in the middle of an experiment gone horribly awry, he develops the power to leech the life force out of anyone he meets and becomes the villainous
Hourglass. Intent on achieving immortality, the
Hourglass attempts to gather as much life force as possible as the noble
Dragonfly sets out to take down his archenemy and realize his destiny as a true hero.
Craig Mazin writes and directs this high-flying
spoof featuring
Tracy Morgan,
Pamela Anderson,
Leslie Nielsen,
Marion Ross,
Jeffrey Tambor, and
Regina Hall.
