Sam is a courier running a top secret delivery for the CIA. The precious cargo: A radioactive cat. When a couple of junkies attempt to steal his van, Sam is scratched by the cat and begins to develop strange new powers including super strength, the ability to manipulate electronics, and, like all cats, the power to light cigarettes with his mind (and possibly something involving his dick but that one isn’t made super clear). As the masked vigilante Catman, Sam teams up with his non-superpowered buddy Gus to fight crime, eventually pitting them against the villainous Father Cheever, an evil priest who, like all clergy, is hellbent on world domination. There’s also an unrelated war happening between some Southeast Asian gangs and an unnamed “security organization”, which is neither here nor there but we at least get some kickass fights out of it.
“CATMAN IN LETHAL TRACK is truly one of the masterworks of the decade […] It also contains a vivid and livley [sic] musical score- it is un-parraleled [sic] even to the masterpeices [sic] of mozart, beethoven, bach, and others. It’s a fine movie that is for the whole family to enjoy.”

(Spectacle would like to note that this is not, in fact, a movie for the whole family to enjoy.)
