Super Inframan (1975)



Cataclysmic earthquakes devastate cities, while mountains crumble to reveal a giant, monstrous face.  Princess Dragon Mom has awoken from her ten million year hibernation, and intends to conquer the surface world with her army of mutants and skeleton men!

Here she is, addressing the troops

Fortunately for humanity, Science Headquarters - a gleaming facility that for some reasons has scores of martial arts-trained, pistol wielding, silver clad staff - exists, and its chief scientist has a plan to thwart this unforeseen enemy (about whom he seems to know an awful lot, given that whole unforeseen-ness of hers).  He will take one of his best agents and equip him with cybernetic enhancements, allowing him to transform into the deadly monster-fighting hero Super Inframan!

So: this movie.  This movie.  It's kind of like someone in 1970s Hong Kong saw one of the cheesier Godzilla films, and H R Pufnstuf and thought "Two great tastes that go great together!".  And I wholeheartedly agree.  There really are few things in life finer than watching some guy in a spider-themed fat suit trying to do kung fu.

Awesomely terribad.
