Zoom, Zoom, Superman! is a 1973 Filipino parody film of the DC Comics superhero Superman.[1][2][3] The film stars Ariel Ureta as the titular superhero, which is also his debut film.[4] Filipino director Joey Gosiengfiao, who is known for his campy films, directed this film as one of his firsts.[5] Elwood Perez and Ishmael Bernal served as co-directors.[6][7] The film has three directors, because it is a trilogy-in-one film, where a director directed an episode each.
The film had copyright infringement issues even though it is a parody,[1] a work that is protected from copyright violation because of the fair use principle.[8][9] From 1973 to 1981, it was the highest grossing film in Philippine cinema, defeating other known box-office breaking actors during those times including Dolphy and Fernando Poe Jr.[10] This record was surpassed by the 1981 film, Dear Heart that top-billed Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion.[11]
