This is one of two movies that I force others to watch when I get to pick. My other one is GalaxyQuest.

I adore this movie. It's unabashedly weird and fun, and a fantastic satire of superhero tropes at the time.

My only significant hangup with it is the look of cultural appropriation through the Blue Rajah, but it stands just on the right side of acceptable imo thanks to a well fleshed out character and Hank Azaria's great performance.

If you haven't seen it, check it out.

"Fell down an elevator shaft and landed on a pile of bullets" has lived in my head rent-free since I saw this movie 25 years ago. I don't know why - it's not even particularly funny or clever, but the line stuck with me.

"I shovel well. I shovel very well." Love that movie.

I've been wishing someone grabs the rights to Mystery Men and makes a series. Shit would be a sweet episodic show or cartoon series because you can keep introducing new, shitty, superheroes every week.

It did give us this banger!

This movie definitely deserved better. I really enjoyed it and watched it many times with friends while high. Not the funniest movie ever, but worse movies have had more success

I saw this on release in the cinema and loved it. As soon as the US DVD was announced, I stuck in my pre-order. The only let down is that there's not enough Eddie Izzard (as he was then known).

I remember the commentary track being really interesting as during the superhero tryouts section of the film, there's a lot of cameos of friends and upcoming actors. The only one I remember is the superhero Eraserhead/Pencilman (sorry it's been so long I've forgotten his name). Anyway, he's played by Doug Jones who would become more famous for playing fantastical creatures. The fawn from Pan's Labyrinth, Abe Sapien from Hellboy, Saru in Star Trek: Discovery and so many more shows and films.

Just the idea of an invisible man who can only turn invisible when no one's looking at him is so brilliant and hilarious

I love that movie. Did from the first watch, and have watched it so often I can't count it up.

"I have a responsibility. I shovel better than anyone."

Kinka Usher hasn't made more films?! I had no idea. That feels tragic. I hate to think what we're missing out on.

Mystery men, mystery men, mystery men, what a treat! I didn't expect to be seeing you again so spoon!

My family quotes this movie to each other all the time even still

I think about it when I encourage my husband. Big rubber gloves on his face, "you shovel well"

"I'm the Blue Rajah! Not...knifey boy!"

One of my all time favs

It was one of the best movies of its time.

... that deserved better than Ben Stiller

I saw it in the theater when it came out and was disappointed. It has some clever moments but overall was nothing engaging.

I have watched it several times, it holds up pretty well
