Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The movie's totally, almost joyfully absurd... It's a classy, slick production by the Shaw Brothers, the Hong Kong kung fu kings. When they stop making movies like Infra-Man, a little light will go out of the world. Rated: 3/4 Jul 9, 2018 Full Review John Higgins Starburst If you see the film cold without reading the booklet, be prepared for one of the wackiest, spectacularly silly and cheerfully tongue-in-cheek films to come out of the Shaw Brothers studio. Rated: 7/10 Apr 12, 2018 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion Florid Shaw Bros. mlange Feb 13, 2010 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2005 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures One of the best unintentionally funny films ever.

Warren Wonderful immaculate masterpiece citizen Kane wishes it was this good. There will never be a movie like the super inframan. Hong Kong is now the best city because of this movie. This movie will forever be studied for how good it is. Science can't explain why this movie is so good. If we ever get a movie better than this it will probably be inframan 2. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Marcus S I first saw this movie in the late 80s with my brother and a friend, and we were literally rolling on the floor laughing! We had tears rolling down our cheeks. I can still remember the pain I had in my stomach from laughing so hard. Ever since then, I have been trying to find this movie on VHS, and now DVD, and I finally did. I can definitely see why Siskel and Ebert both gave it a thumbs up. It's a cult classic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Kung Fu Kaiju Insano-Fest from start to finish. Must be seen to be believed!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Looking for a great rubber-mask monster movie ? Look no further. This Infra-man has it all. Flying backwards in high-heel boots ? Check. Thunderball Fists ! Check. Evil and sexy queen hoping to take over the world ? Check and check ! A must see for any old-school monster movie fans. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review nefasto r How do you review a film like "Infra-man"? Watching the trailer you already know what you are getting into, no mysteries there. You might love it or hate it but if, just like me, in your early-teen years you grow up watching the original Power Rangers, you will probably love it. As a grown up I liked this movie for different reasons obviously, first and foremost the fact that made me laugh a lot. It might have not been the goal of the movie in 1975, but sure as hell this is its effect now! In this crazy world everything goes, especially explosions (cars, threes, water, people, there is nothing that does not blow up) and zoom ins. Watch it, and try not to explode too. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This review I'm making was first spoken by James Rolfe: "A true gem from the Shaw Bros. Studios. Super Inframan was the first superhero from Hong Kong, known as just plain Inframan here in the United States. It brings to mind Ultraman and Power Rangers, but this is a whole different beast. It starts out pretty nuts, but then it just gets flat-out insane. The opening credits is a seizure inducing trippy flash of colored lights that over stimulates your mind and tells you to get ready, because you're in for some crazy shit. Soon enough, we see a winged dragon creature flipping around and cackling like a maniac. Then it turns into a girl with gold cone tits who starts summoning other monsters with the crack of a whip. We're only getting started. When there's monsters, you need a superhero, so in comes Inframan. He was just a regular guy volunteering in a science lab to be transformed into... well, Inframan. *Scene plays with Inframan sitting up and it replays while closing up on Inframan's face* Did you see that? He sat up, just in case you missed it. *Scene plays with Inframan flipping around* Wanna see his special powers? *Scene plays with Inframan shooting lasers out his wrists and shooting his fist off like a rocket* Why couldn't they show a replay of that? I don't even know what the hell just happened. I can't even comment on this shit. Just watch. *Scene plays with Inframan jumping into the air and kicking a monster, in which the monster explodes* Now your life is complete. This movie has everything. *Scene plays when a girl with black cone tits fires lasers out of the eyes on her clawed hands* When Mrs. Black cone tits starts shooting dinky lasers out the eyeballs on her clawed hands, you're in for a wild time. *Scene: Man is shoved against an electric wall by a tentacle* Tentacles without bodies fry people against electric walls, *Scene: Spacemen fighting henchman and a bug monster* spacemen fight evil henchmen in skeleton suits and horned helmets along with a bug monster that never stops growling. *Scene: Spacemen fighting bug monster* *Imagine these scenes in your head* Yellow lasers vs. red boomerangs, Creature from the Black Lagoon has a horned crown and a red mustache! Even in the background, he hands it off! Look at him swaying back and forth, dancing like a jackass! He's restless! Like, what the fuck?! Why isn't there stuff blowing up right now?! He's gotta move! He's gotta shoot fire out his face! I love the villain's headquarters, on her desk is a cheesy looking bat, and behind her, it looks like King Ghidora's in the Twilight Zone. There's a scene where she becomes the dragon and fights Inframan, and Inframan cuts of her head. The head regenerates, so he has to cut it off again, and again, and again, and again, until he decides "Fuck it! This ain't workin'!" By the way, everything explodes, BOOM!!! Monster flips over a car, BOOM!!! Car explodes! Monster takes a piss, BOOM!!! Piss explodes! Inframan shoots laser, BOOM!!! Laser explodes! Inframan fights weird upside down octapus creature, does flying kick, BOOM!!! Lasers are highly combustible when mixed with water, BOOM!!! Bug monster falls on buildings, BOOM!!! Spear with bowling ball gets thrown, BOOM!!! Monster uses drill, BOOM!!! Pole gets thrown, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!! Inframan hits the control boards, BOOM!!! Inframan picks up dynamite, flies up into the air, throws the dynamite, BOOM!!! Wait a minute, dynamite exploded? Don't be silly. Inframan flips guy into the water, BOOM!!! *Scene: Inframan flies from the position he wasn't in* How did Inframan get over there?! Now BOOM again??!! I'd be afraid to live in this worlds where everything is ignitable, if you stub your toe, hit your head, or trip and fall, you'll go BOOM!!! Look at all this shit going on, I'm really at a loss for words here. *Scene: Water explosion* Oh, there goes Mrs. Cone tits! That makes no sense! But who cares?! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! So, basically, BOOM!!! This could be the best movie ever made. Except, it should come with a warning label. It's highly combustible, and it could go BOOM!!!" Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
