Basically, it’s like “Spider-Man”, but instead of web shooters and superpowers, our hero has an old car that can fly. That’s pretty much the plot of the Timur Bekmambetov-produced movie “Black Lightning”. A second, Russian trailer for the film has appeared online, and it introduces the movie’s romantic elements — in short, the blonde is Mary Jane, and the hero is Peter Parker, and the mean looking Russian guy who kidnaps Russian MJ is the Green Goblin. They even end the movie with a duel (using flying cars!) in the skies over Russia at night, with Russian MJ’s life at stake. Plus, our hero has a suave, rich buddy who has everything our hero wants, but can’t have, being that he’s poor and such. And is that my imagination or did they also throw in a scene where our hero rescues someone from a burning building — with his car? Personally, I’m waiting for the scene where our hero hangs upside down while strapped into his old car and leans out the sun roof to kiss the girl in the pouring rain. Or, er, pouring snow. It is Russia, after all.

Look, I’m not saying, I’m just saying.

Interestingly, there hasn’t been a whole lot about “Black Lightning” in the English press, and the film’s producers don’t seem to be attempting to get the word out about it at all (it doesn’t even have an IMDB.com page, and in today’s age, even my aunt has an IMDB.com page, and she doesn’t even know what an Internet is), which makes me think they don’t plan to pursue a heavy International audience with the movie. Of course, they may be waiting to see what the film does in its native Russia before making the investment, similar to Bekmambetov’s “Night Watch” movies.
