This superhero comedy was a major flop when it came out in 1999 but, over the years grown in flavor like a fine wine. Based off ofBob Burden’s characters from his Flaming Carrot Comics, this all star cast featuredBen Stilleras Mr.Furious,Hank Azariaas the Blue Raja,William H Macyas the Shoverler,Paul Ruebensas the Spleen, andJaneane Garafoloas the Bowler.
