Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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.

I was lucky Enough to see this movie in the theater at the Idaho film festival in 2006 with four friends. we sat in the front row, and by the end of the movie we could not talk, and our lungs had collapsed. This was the first time in my life that I laughed so hard I bruised my side. It was so corny and cheesy and hilarious, Everything about that movie will leave you gasping for breath. When the dragon plush toy fell on the ground and it broke open, I laughed so hard I had to stand up to get a breath. Every time the lead character changed into infra man everyone clapped. and When the professor, and a soldier of Princess dragon mom, and one of her monster were casually riding in a boat, I fell on the floor gasping for breath, and the dude sitting next to me asked (giggling) If I was all right. This movie taste like cheese alright but on a fancy ten-dollar sub. Even though it it like power-rangers, Godzilla, and FLash-Gordon mixed in a Blender set on frappé, If you compare the story with either of them, It will come out on top, despite being ten times more ridiculous. It has more potency than any parody can ever possible aspire to. You could feel how serious it was when a monster flipped over a car (A Volkswagen) and it exploded for no reason three seconds later. The dubbing was done so horribly, it's the stuff the stereotypical Chinese dub comes from. It just about killed the crowd when Princess dragon mom stuttered out "You Join me! you will serve me and...uh..be on my side!".No movie will ever dish out as much serious ridiculous stuff as this one did. Buy it and watch it with a large group of friends, I guarantee a good time. It was by far the best movie to come out of 1975.

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!

This is a classic Japanese sci-fi movie. Yes it has terrible special effects, horrible acting and even worse story line. What was so special about it? It was exciting to imagine being infra-man. I think my friends and I must have done the moves a hundred times while playing. The costumes were comical but believable as a kid. The acting was over the top and of course dubbed. But that is what Sci-fi was in the 70's. It is a story that was easy to relate too as a kid and how I long for those days now that I am older. Try to see this movie, you will enjoy it.
