Former secret government agent Max Hecker (Sven Martinek) disguises himself with a clown mask in order to fight international crime. He hangs up his mask when one of his supporters, journalist Claudia (Diana Frank), is murdered. Four years later, he must put it back on as Claudia's sister Leah (Eva Habermann) is kidnapped by the same people that killed Claudia.
Practical Effects
That clown mask is genuinely nightmare-fuel practical work.
Stunts
Chaotic European car chases with questionable physics.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was actually adapted from a German TV series also starring Sven Martinek, making it one of those inexplicable 'we turned our cult show into a grim movie' decisions.
Eva Habermann was fresh off 'Lexx' and this role clearly wasn't her idea of sci-fi stardom; Götz Otto's villain turn happened between Bond films, proving even working actors need rent money.
