Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

fh768 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.

Woodyanders Awakened from her centuries of slumber underneath the volcano of Mount Devil by an earthquake, the thoroughly wicked Princess Dragon Mom (deliciously overplayed with lip-smacking relish by the gorgeously slinky blonde looker Terry Liu) threatens to take over our planet. The cackling, whip-brandishing villainess is assisted by her numerous skull-faced soldiers and an unruly army of unsightly hyperactive monsters. Fortunately, newly created bionic superhero Infra-Man (stolidly essayed by Hong Kong action movie star Danny Lee) comes to mankind's rescue, beating up on Dragon Mom and her nefarious minions with his exceptional chopsocky prowess and remarkable super powers. This beautifully bent, batty and berserk baby possesses all the right wrong stuff to qualify as a complete corker: sloppy direction, endearingly grotesque beasts who are obviously just poor guys in cheesy rubber outfits (said ghastly ghouls include a tentacle creature, a shaggy-haired freak, a bright orange bug critter, and a fanged lumpy fudge thing), a constant quick pace, colorful, expansive widescreen cinematography, a flimsy, nonsensical plot (for example, everyone knows Infra-Man's name despite the fact that he was created a mere thirty seconds ago!), lovably lousy dubbing, terrible acting, a funky, throbbing score, tacky (substantially less than) special effects, cardboard characters and plenty of the craziest, funniest, most ineptly staged martial arts fight sequences to ever explode across the screen (Infra-Man and the various monsters all leap, flip, kick and punch with a furious all-out energetic abandon that's a true jaw-dropping joy to behold). Gloriously ridiculous, preposterous and often downright sidesplitting in its utter over-the-top manic absurdity, "Inframan" reigns supreme as a definite four-star camp classic to reckon with.

dj_bassett Hong Kong/Shaw Brothers knock-off of the Japanese television show "Ultra-man" far surpasses the original. Monsters from the depths rise up to attack the world; the only thing between us and super-destruction is a small band of doughty fighters and Infra-Man, a Six Million Dollar kind of guy with a nuclear reactor for a power supply. Utterly ridiculous and entertaining, sort of "Ultra-man" on acid, frankly, or an exceptionally good episode of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers". The villainess struts around in a bikini and brandishes a whip; there's monsters who looks like mutated artichokes, monsters who are robots with spring-loaded heads, and one monster who looks like a pile of poop. The henchmen all dress like skeletons and their actual hideout is a skull, for no reason that I can discern. Nor do the bad guys really seem to have a plan: at one point they break in to steal Infra-Man's blueprints, but it doesn't seem to have helped them any. A movie that sort of resists analysis or even description: it's the kind of thing you really have to experience. So by all means, go to it, it's amazing.

Mikko_Elo_ 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.
