Movie Reviews of The Super Inframan
Movie Review: Return of the revenge of the Asian Monster Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
"Alex if the Answer of this Daily Double is 'Super InfraMan' the Question has to be: 'What is a movie so bad it's good?'"
I first saw this movie not long after it came out. In my personal lexicon, it rates right up (down) there with 'Plan Nine from Outer Space', especially if you are a fan of the classic Japanese Monster Movies, the Hong Kong chop-socky films of the 70s and Grade Z science fiction films.
The best description I ever came up with when I was trying to explain it to my friends was: 'Try to imagine a three-way cross between The Six Million Dollar Man with Lee Majors, Bruce Lee in Flying Fingers of Annihilation or whatever it was, and Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster...!'
The fact that the SFX are so bad (e.g. - the hero is converted to a cyborg basically by piling random springs, batteries and electronic junk next to his body and flickering the image between him as a human and as InfraMan while on a form-fitting operating table with some kind of ray device overhead; in some of the fight scenes the 'rays' don't even go all the way to the target!), only adds to the hilarity.
I am glad this movie has finally become available on DVD, and I expect to keep it in my collection indefinitely for those depressed times when I REALLY need to spend some time rolling on the floor laughing hysterically. I recommend it to anyone who can appreciate it for what it is... but DON'T buy it if you are expecting to get the film that should have out-box-officed Star Wars and all it's sequels...!
Search Wikipedia of just google the title of the movie for background on the various released versions to get some idea of the twisted path a movie can follow to reach your screen, or just buy it. It's fun.
