The Super Inframan (1975)

I love this movie so much

Boring

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

I first watched this movie back in the 80s. I was much younger then and I thought that this was the coolest movie on earth. I had a talent for hyperbole even back then. So my opinion, naturally, is colored by nostalgia.I watched it again a couple of weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it -- though not for the same reasons. I was amazed at how earnestly the entire cast tried to make such a cheesy script work. It also reminded me of what it was like to be a kid again. When I first saw it, I was not bothered with such questions as:1. Where does a group of villains asleep since the last ice age get their hands on motorcycle helmets? 2. Did they really have to glue horns to said helmets before wearing them?3. Did the director intend for us to see that one of the monsters was wearing white running shoes underneath his rubber costume?So it was nice to see all the things I just sat back and accepted as a kid. All in all, a nice trip through memory lane.

I remember seeing this in theater when I was a kid. It was a great fantasy movie and about 1000% better that any usual Japanese Sci-Fi flick! Today my kids would find this boring after the effects of movies now days. They are spoiled! So what happens to all these old films? Someone should set up a new "Sci-Fi Channel" to distribute this stuff. Also of value would be Genesis II, and the other Gene Roddenberry movies that did not make it into a series like Star Trek. Where can I buy or download this? OK, enough with my posting. This IMDb requirement about ten lines is a pain in the butt. I guess they have devised a way to ensure that you cannot bad mouth the garbage movies that come ut every month, by making you type ten lines of info into one of these comment sections. Now I have twelve lines, lets see if it will let me save it mow!

super inframan the cult movie. of course things like this always find their own, but there was not much for me to enjoy in this one. i was watching old shawscope trash with few redeeming qualities. it would take a while to list everything that was lousy about it, all the clumsy errors, silly costumes, settings, lack of plot...and so on. i didn't find it all very humorous either. the monsters were indeed humorous, and the robots near the end were actually quite imaginative, but the dull scenes between the fights, the awful noise throughout the movie and the utter lack of any deeper meaning put me off. call me a tired dry grown-up, but i might have liked this when i was eight.

Super Infra-man (1975) was the Shaw Brothers attempt to try and start a franchise super hero like Ultraman. Filmed in Shawscope (panavision) Super Infra-man is an enjoyable action film filled with cheesy over the top bad guys and a whole lot of sci-fi mumbo jumbo. Danny Lee is chosen to become Infra-man when Earth is threatened by a race of interstellar demons. To sum up the movie, just imagine an episode of The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that was action-directed by Bruce Lee! That's because one of the Dragon's protégés was involved with directing the fight scenes. The whole cast seems to be in on the joke and no one takes it too seriously. Harmless family fun.Highly recommended!Factoid: For some reason, the Shaw Brothers like to recycle stock footage from their other films and reuse certain scenes over and over.
