Subject: help me remember title of movie about a guy than runs fast
Written By: red06 on 09/04/09 at 7:48 pm
Hi
I remember a movie from the 80s
I think it might have been a "wonderful world of Disney" made for tv movie
What I remember is a guy that has the ability to run fast...like the guy from "My Secret Identity"
I think there was a part where he was running down or up a hill...I'm not sure why.
When I was checking the list of disney movies from the 80s the movie "I-man" popped some recollection
Did the guy from "I-Man" run fast?
Thanks for reading

Michael C. thanks for your post...but I don't think it is "The World's Greatest Athlete"
From waht I can rember I don't think he was an athlete...I seem to rember him wearing jeans
And when I say he runs fast...I mean superhuman fast...like superman

According to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091248/
the guy in I-Man can heal himself really quickly. Nothing about superhuman speed

you read my mind... that's what I was thinking too... it was Disney but it was 70s
According to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091248/
the guy in I-Man can heal himself really quickly. Nothing about superhuman speed
I've never heard of I-Man...
How 'bout Flash? the series aired on TV in 1990
or The Six Million Dollar Man... if I remember correctly the follow up reunion movies had them running fast instead of in slo motion.

This movie was either Superman or Not Quite Human. Those are the only 2 movies it could possibly have been.

Perhaps it was 'Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins' from 1985
Fred Ward stars as a policeman whose is recruited by a secret government organization, and trained in several skills including the ability to dodge bullets, and to run so fast, his feet do not touch the ground.

For the benefit of those who can't (yet) link: a plug for The Black Hole, Major Effects, 1979.
From IMDB: In 1979, "He becomes Major Effects, a super hero that describes special effects from movies."
That got me here:

In 1983, it got rebooted as The Wizard of Speed and Time, but didn't get released until 1989.
Karma for anyone who can come up with a YouTube link to either of these.
