Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot for roughly £500,000, this predates Goldstein's Ted Lasso fame by six years—you can see Roy Kent forming in real time.
The film's entire aesthetic—cheap costumes, mundane rescues, boring Britain—argues that superheroism itself is just another gig economy job.
