Movies that feel likeThey Call Me Jeeg (2016)

Exposed to radioactive waste, small-time crook Enzo gains super-strength. A misanthropic, introverted brute, he uses his powers for personal gain until he meets Alessia, a mentally ill girl who believes Enzo is the hero from her favorite anime, Steel Jeeg.

If you loved They Call Me Jeeg, the closest films we have are Krrish (2006), Warriors of Future (2022) and Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' (2015). All three share They Call Me Jeeg's cerebral and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (2022).
