Production
[edit]The time between when Italo Martinenghi directed The 3 Supermen in the West and 3 Supermen Against the Godfather was a time of backlash within the Italian film industry.[1] With the rising popularity of television in Italy ticket, box office fell from 455 million to 374 million from 1976 and 1977.[1][2] In 1979, this had diminished further to 276 million.[2] This led to some filmmakers in Italy to move their productions to Turkey where they could create b-movies for less demanding and more enthusiastic audiences.[2]
Through Martinenghi's friend Guido Zurli, Martinenghi collaborated with Turkish film producer Türker İnanoğlu to start his second entry in the Three Supermen film series.[2] Superhero films were popular in Turkey, a country which had produced its own renditions of superhero films such as The Phantom (Kizil Maske (1968)) Superman (Süpermen Fantom'ya Karst (1969)) and 3 Dev Adam featuring El Santo, Captain America, and Spider-Man.[2]
The film cast Aldo Canti who had starred in previous 3 Supermen films, Turkish actor Cüneyt Arkın, and Aldo Sambrell as the godfather who also co-produced the film with his Spanish company Asbrell.[2]
Release
[edit]3 Supermen Against the Godfather was released in Turkey in 1979[citation needed] and in Italy in 1980.[2] Italian film historian described its release as "practically never distributed" and that it was a film that only surfaced on home video about a quarter of a century later.[2] The film was followed by two sequels: Three Supermen at the Olympic Games (1984) and Three Supermen in S. Domingo (1986).[3]
