Mystery Men movie

A group of inept amateur superheroes must try to save the day when a supervillian threatens to destroy a major superhero and the city.

Mystery Men is a 1999 comedy film directed by TV commercial director Kinka Usher. It starred William H. Macy, Ben Stiller, and Hank Azaria as a trio of lesser superheroes with fairly unimpressive superpowers who need to save the day. The films two great strengths were considered to be the art direction and the dialogue, much of which was improvised by the cast.

Three such individuals are The Shoveller (William H. Macy), who can wield a shovel very well; Mr. Furious (Ben Stiller), whose superhuman strength is fueled by his boundless rage; and The Blue Raja (Hank Azaria), a self-described "effete British superhero" who throws silverware, but refuses to use knives, and wears a green flowered turban and cape (a running joke being that, despite his name, his costume has no blue in it whatsoever; also, his accent is completely fake).
