Production

''Fantabulous Inc.'' was Sergio Spina's directorial debut. His next film was his second and last film ''L'asino 'doro''.

Release

On the film's release, distributors changed the original Italian title ''Fantasbulous'' and replaced it with the title ''La donna, il sesso e il superuomo'' (lit. ''Woman, Sex and the Superman''). The film was released in Italy in 1968.

Reception

In a contemporary review in '' Variety'', Mosk. proclaimed that the creators of the film "may have imagined they were making a satirical, progressive pic. But it exploits sex, political notations, and comic strip origins without humor, insight or point to make this just a flaccid programmer that might be used in action or grind spots abroad on its unregenerate bad taste."
