Shaw Brothers is mostly known for their kung fu films, but they did occasionally try things outside of their wheelhouse namely Mighty Peking Man and Super Infra Man. Super Inframan is your basic rubber suit monster battle but filtered through the lense of Hong Kong kung fu flicks complete with bad audio syncing and out of place sounding impact shots. In terms of plot.....Image if you had an entire seasons worth of Power Rangers plots squished into 90 minutes and compressed the storytelling into about 20 minutes filling the rest with action scenes. The movie is non stop action and unapologetically silly and if you're a fan of silly monster movies or kung fu flicks you'll find something to like. Just don't expect much of a coherent narrative.

Time to own up: Inframan is one of my favorite movies. This film is nothing less than an hour and a half of ferocious martial arts, monsters in costumes cheaper than you can imagine, and the fearsome pronouncements of Princess Dragon Mom - and it's a blast. I rent this movie at least once every couple of months just to remind myself how much fun a low-budget film can be. After all, how can you not love a movie whose villainess has her lair decorated with what appears to be Saran Wrap, and whose hero has to free himself from "liquid ice"?

This film steals a lot from ultraman, from sound effects to some of his move set, not saying this is a bad thing just something I noticed. Though inframan does borrow a lot from ultraman he has enough uniqueness to make him his own. Towards the last 3rd of the film his moveset goes mental and hes jumping all over the place blowing things up. The last 3rd is definitely the best part of the film but the film is fun enough to keep you invested until then. I love inframans outfit, the ultra red color pops especially against his dulled grey and green enemies. The creatures in this are extremely wacky and fun, my favorite one is the lizard guy with the horn mustache that breathes fire, the 2 robots are really cool as well. Worth a watch for the camp and the crazy action
