Name that cheesy 80's movie

[Dr. Aaron I. Allensworth, Yh.B.T.]

This was a long time ago, at least for me, so I may have some
of the finer details wrong. This was one of the worst movies
I've ever seen on Big 3 network television.

Okay, there was this movie about... I'm gonna say 10 years
back. This guy is out in space, doing some research on the
sun. Part of this includes filming the Sun during an eclipse,
but apparently his buddy didn't yell "Cut!" soon enough,
because a beam of light (which is of course clearly visible in
space) goes into the camera, and presumably through to his
brane.

When he returns, or rather, is taken back, to Earth, he has heightened
senses*, but he can only stay in the sunlight for so long. He sees different
colors at varying stages of exposure, which help to clarify his condition.

Green - Okay, but don't dawdle.

Yellow - Get inside pronto-like, homeboy.

Red - Say hello to Jimmy Hoffa for me.

*It could be super-speed or really big thighs, but I'm pretty sure it was
s00p3r sight, hearing, smell, ect. And I think the super powers were
solar-powered, too (wouldn't THAT be a kick in the marbles).

And the big climax is where he's chasing this guy around in an
observatory or someplace similar, and the big hole in the roof
is open, so he gets stuck out in the sunlight until he catches
the bad guy, then goes Code Red. Will he survive? Watch the
movie to find out!

I know I'm not making this up; I think it was on ABC, sometime
in the late 80's. And it had special guest stars who were
neither special nor guests, nor were they stars. Discuss.

But one movie I do remember quite clearly was Super Fuzz. If anyone present
would like to veer this thread way off-topic, please do so by discussing
Super Fuzz. At least then, I'll have something half-intelligent to say. I
must have seen that movie about 100 times. It was one of 5 tapes we owned,
and the guy who owned only the video shop in Rat's Ass, Oklahoma, had kicked
us out long before because he thought we were stealing the porno tapes. So
we didn't have much else to watch, excepting a stack of pr0n about
waist-high.

I even remember the "doot doot doo doo bip bip wah WAAAAHH"
music that played when his powers were suddenly nullified by
[deleted to preserve suspense, but it's something I've already
mentioned in this post.]

I've never seen that one, but you reminded me of a black-and-white horror
movie I saw on Seymour's Fright Night (or possibly Creature Features --
whatever it was that Seymour was doing back in 1969) when I was five years
old. I think it was called SOLAR MAN. It was your basic icky screamy
monster movie, only the monster was even chee-z-er than usual, being nothing
more than some guy with a really *wicked* bad sunburn.

Jeez, it was thirty years ago, gimme a break!

It's interesting that you brought this up in the context of the Guns Over
America thread. Poor Beable is trying to tell us Cuba is not an evil
empirelet, but in fact Super Fuzz truly showed us the dangers of the
Communist Menance. It is important to remember that the start of the
movie, Terence Whassisnamelli, was an Italian, and the movie was filmed in
the era when the Red Brigade was running around Aldo Moro and innocent
street vendours.

Also the movie starred the bloated, impotent Lt McHale who obviously
represented the decadency of the America.

Now do you understand the deeper social signficance of this movie?
