"Fearless Frank" is a parody of super-hero films that looks as if it was made on a budget of about $48.32 but was, amazingly, made by MGM! It also features Jon Voight in the lead...and he shows none of the acting ability that would soon earn him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. To put it bluntly, his performance is like a MUCH stupider Gomer Pyle...and this is really NOT an exaggeration!
The story finds the addle-brained Frank (Voight) shot by mobsters. Oddly, however, when he awakens he's fine...and he also becomes less stupid over time! This is all thanks to 'the Good Doctor'...who is a bit of a mad scientist. Then, Frank becomes a crime fighter...if you can manage to last this long, I am impressed.
There is a fine line between parody and just plain bad...and "Fearless Frank" falls in the just plain bad category. Additionally, the film is just boring and awful to watch. It's also a film, I assume, that Jon Voight would just as soon have us all forget!
