Mystery Men
When the city’s celebrated hero is kidnapped, three bumbling super‑savvy misfits must band together and use their modest powers to stop a criminal mastermind from plunging Champion City into chaos.
“Not your classic superheroes...they're the other guys.”
Synopsis
When Champion City's hero Captain Amazing is kidnapped by the recently paroled supervillain Casanova Frankenstein, a trio of average, everyday superheroes—Mr. Furious, the Shoveler, and the Blue Raja—assemble a new super team to save him.

A crew of 302+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.4× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
