from the salkinds brother and the same producer of superman saga and come the first and and for the moment and last adventure of the new heroine come from dc comic represent be supergirl represent the superman cousin . the movie be one of the bad superhero picture never make while director jeannot szwarc give very bad work and a on the hand we would expect from a subscriber to the flop like he . the screenplay by david odell be really silly and campy while the history be absurd and full of hole . the plot represent kara ( helen slater ) be a blond young girl from argo city . argo be a fragment of the planet krypton in innerspace while the survivor community be power by the omega hedron and a spherical powerful object invent by city founder zaltar ( peter otoole ) . superman cousin kara be show by zaltar how to use omegahedron to help inspire her art . but an insect she animate cause chaos and accidentally suck the omegahedron down a warp vortex . the magical sphere end up on earth and fall into the clutch of a evil witch faye dunaway . sorry selena ( play by faye dunaway ) . selena be a second rate sorceress that live in a converted amusement park with her sidekick bianca ( brenda vaccaro ) while the witch be study black magic with the aid of her old boyfriend nigel ( peter cook ) while nigel be a local math teacher and warlock . the eccentric selena really be little more than a clumsy charlatan but she be really crazy and megalomaniac while her dream be nothing less than world domination . while selena plan to use the sphere power to rule the world while kara steal an experimental spaceship and on earth and become supergirl represent the girl of steal while now the long blond tressed kara enrolls in a girl school a a brunette use the name linda lee and while search for the omegahedron in her spare time wear the familiar costume of her cousin superman . selena be at that age where she not the spring chicken while she develop lust for the handsome school gardener ethan and spike his beer with a potion that will make him fall for the first woman he see and of course this woman be supergirl while she and selena come into conflict . in the final crash the witch invoke the burundi wand and she scream power of shadow . appear . and she summon a huge demon . power of shadow . destroy her . fly up to confront the demon and supergirl be capture in it grasp and it start crush her . use her amazing strength and supergirl free herself from the demon and use her super speed and supergirl circle selena and the wind she create lift selena before the demon while supergirl summons her inner strength to turn the table and make the demon eat witch . magically and the demon with her bore food and bianca all fade away through the mirror to the phantom zone . of course good triumph over evil and kara return to argo city with the omegahedron . the movie special effect aren not bad and the jerry goldsmith score be wonderful . the major guilty of this box office flop be szwarc and odell but the acting be another problem for this movie although the all star cast . nineteen year old helen slater in her first film appearance be a perfect choice a supergirl while she look like she have jump right out of the page of the comic book for supergirl and she charm rather than sexy and graceful and convincing in the fly scene with her little costume and her nice blonde hair . support cast member include the completely wasted peter cook and the annoy brenda vacarro and a embarrassed mia farrow and a kara mother and the very attractive hart bochner that be quite good under try circumstance and peter otoole and who always fun to watch when he overact . all obviously be phone it in for the paycheck . faye dunaway acting be the bad in the movie . she be mostly dreadful a the wicked would be witch selena and it certainly wasn not all faye dunaway fault and since she just get stick with a terribly write character and but she be over the top hamming and overplay outrageously . her character be idiot and boring and silly and dunaway chew her ridiculous line with unjustified gusto because her selena remain the lame and bad of all the villain from the superman related movie . selena be the baddest evil witch of all time and with scenery chewing of unimaginable proportion notwithstanding this dunaway vamp like a enormous peacock but one thing be sure that she be not a charming and imperious witch like the glamorous anjelica huston in movie the witch . dunaway be really ungraceful and unattractive a a grotesquely middle age woman that know some magic and gesture wildly and utter some make up abracadabra bullshit . she look awful like a true classic witch from tale while with horrid red curly wig and a make up that make her feature coarse and more vulgar she seem a man in drag . but really dunaway be the only reason for watch this movie because her camping be so over the top and her appearance be so bad than she become fascinate to watch in it terribleness . she like herself in a way very narcissistic while i keep wait for her performance to finally say i ready for my close up mr. demille . but truly even cheeky brenda vaccaro a her accomplice bianca react with comically exaggerated expression over faye plan for world domination and her defines a horrid human be . there be few moment where dunaway be really really ridiculous represent when she be try painfully to seduce the muscle man etahn while when she be prepare a love potion with a spider and a hazel shell but especially in the final when she roll one eye and make terrible smirk and laugh . after her tour de force of overact and her irritating wry face and way affect poor dunaway end up really badly represent a horrid monster bite evil faye head off . it a just punishment for dunaway crime against humanity and acting and fashion and it a great relief for the audience .
