lemon_magic "Inframan" is not a "good" movie by any standard, but the energy level is so high and the cheese factor is so outrageous that if you have any patience for Shaw Brothers style old school Chinese movies, you'll probably like it anyway.It's...hard to describe what the deal is with "Inframan". What it most reminds me of are my grade school playground days, when my friends and I ran around pretending to be jet robots and superheroes and dinosaurs and whatever else came to mind on an instant's notice. Tons of wild creativity and improvisation, absolutely no focus or coherence or logical linking of one thing to another. Watching "Inframan" takes me back to those days - he pulls new powers and abilities out of thin air, seemingly at random. The Hong Kong/"Engrish" dubbing is the master touch - whatever the actors were saying in their native languages, their dialog loses any subtlety or nuance by the time the English dubbing crew got done with it, and everyone seems to be yelling the first thing that comes to mind at the top of their lungs. Great fun. Search this one out and watch it once if you have any affection for the old "Kung Fu Theater" genre or the Power Rangers or Voltron or any of that kind of entertainment. You'll realize you have watched something primal.

MartinHafer I rented this DVD because I really like Shaw Brothers movies, not because I am a fan of shows like the Power Rangers and the like. However, I figured with this Chinese studio behind the production, I might still enjoy it. Well, now that the film is over, I can say that I was not at all impressed, as it seemed like a movie only for kids--not fans of serious martial arts films. I appear to be in the minority, though, as all the other reviewers gave it glowing reviews. Now I am not saying that they are wrong--it's just that how much you enjoy this film will really depend on what you think of seeing superheroes and monsters in rubber suits beating each other up for most of the film. They liked it, I didn't--it's as simple as that. I grew up long before the Power Rangers--during the era of Ultraman and even then, I was the only boy in the neighborhood that didn't like the show. So, keep this in mind when reading my review.The film begins with monster attacks occurring all over the place. Only after this has occurred many times did the leader of these monsters show herself. Now I could not understand why some hot Chinese lady in an odd costume was the queen of a bunch of guys in rubber monster suits or Grim Reaper fighting costumes, but I guess you just have to accept this for what it is. The group of humans sent to fight these monsters is really pathetic and so it's up to the brilliant doctor to turn one of these men into the monster-fighter, Inframan! Inframan can do just about anyth8ing and one by one he beats the snot out of all the baddies--leading to a rather unexciting and highly anticipated finale.On the plus side, the costumes are pretty cool and SOME of the martial arts are pretty good (particularly later in the film). On the negative side, these are guys in rubber suits beating the crap out of each other! 'Nuff said!

Dan Super Inframan is cheesy as f**k. Never have I seen such a cheesy kung fu film like The Super Inframan. This film is so cheesy that I felt like peeing out of laughter while watching.The story is about, well it's hard to explain, a bunch of evil monsters who fight poorly and funnily and the odd girl wizard who dominates them. The story contains also a man who is THE SUPER INFRAMAN. This role is played by Danny Leee who has done a great job. He is some sort of a cheesy superman rip off who looks like a bird or maybe a power ranger lol. He fights a against the evil monsters and their landlady.I strongly recommend that you watch this cheesy film. It's so cheesy and bad that you can't help being delighted by it!!! I give this film nine out of ten points!!! WATCH THE SUPER INFRAMAN !!!

Joseph P. Ulibas 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.
