Superfantozzi

Superfantozzi is an Italian film from 1986. It is the fifth film in the saga of the unlucky clerk Ugo Fantozzi, played by its creator, Paolo Villaggio. This film portrays the "evolution" of Fantozzi in History, from the Creation of the World to a far, science fiction-esque, future.

Plot

Genesis. After creating Heaven, Earth, the seas and the animals, God proceeds to create man, resulting in Ugo Fantozzi. Disappointed with his first attempt, God rests for one day then tries again, thus creating Adam and Eve, and also provides Fantozzi with a woman, his horrible future wife Pina. After Eve seduces Fantozzi into committing the original sin in her place, Fantozzi and Pina are banished from the garden of Eden and condemned to spend eternity as underlings of Adam's and Eve's descendants.

Stone Age. As he struggles with dinosaurs and other prehistoric perils to feed his family (now including daughter Mariangela), Fantozzi meets another human being, his future colleague Filini. He also creates a rudimentary barbell, which will occasionally appear as a sight gag in the episodes to follow.

Ancient Greece. In a recreation of the heroic deeds of Philippides, Fantozzi runs to Athens to report the Greek victory in the Battle of Marathon. However, by the time he has reached Athens after a 42 kilometer race, he can no longer remember the outcome of the battle and must run back to Marathon to refresh his memory.

New Testament. Fantozzi earns a living out of a small market garden by Lake Tiberias. Upon learning that his wealthy uncle Lazarus has died, Fantozzi rejoices and burns down his own house, anticipating a rich inheritance. However his plan is foiled as Jesus resurrects Lazarus. Fantozzi is later mistaken for a convict and crucified on the Golgotha with Jesus and two thieves.
