China Super Hero, Super Inframan

Super Inframan is a super hero movie, created by Shaw Brother Studio from Hongkong in 1975. Because it was created in Chinese Hongkong, he also has a chinese name, 中国超人 (China Superman). The character of Super Inframan is one of a researcher from space institute, Ryama (雷马).  The actor is a Hongkong actor, Danny Lee (李修贤).






Inframan fights against Glacier Devil (冰河魔王). Glacier Devil is a population of monster living in the earth since ice age. But later, they were buried in the deep of earth over 2 million years. One day, one of an extinct in some place is activated. The professor from the space institute, Prof. Law (刘英德), found that was because of the Glacier Devil. The devil comes to alive and rises to the surface in order to destroy the humans and rules the world. Finally, Prof. Law releases the super hero technology that he had created over 10 years. He chooses Ryama as the soldier according to his brave, intelligent and skillful.




Because of the space institute intervention to their plan, the Glacier Devil sets the institute as the first target to be destroyed. The queen of Glacier Devil has captured one of the researcher, Zhu Ming (祝明). The queen controls his mind and orders him to steal the design drawing of Inframan. Finally, she found the most powerful weapon of Inframan, the solar infra (太阳甲), is a solar weapon, changes it energy to laser and kills his enemy.




However, one by one of her monsters is killed by Inframan, the queen orders to kidnap Prof. Law to create another super hero for her. In the final battle to the base of Glacier Devil, Prof. Law and his daughter Meimei (刘美美) were captured. The queen also creates a stream to cover the sky from sun radiation, in order to stop the Solar Infra. But unfortunately, the design drawing she got before hasn't had a design of another new weapon, the lightning fist (闪电拳). Finally, Inframan kills her using the lightning fist.




According to the information from wikipedia, Super Inframan was based on Kamen Rider. Kamen Rider series from Tokusatsu has become popular since it was aired in Taiwan, Hongkong, Korea and many countries in Asia. Therefore, from those 2 pictures below we should see that Super Inframan design is as similar as Kamen Rider.



However, in my review, Inframan is not only Kamen Rider, but also as similar as Ultraman. See, infra and ultra are both opposite meaning. And their attacking pose are also similar:

Inframan attacks using infra red (I think).

Ultraman attacks using ultra lightning (I think).


Let's see the other skills from Super Inframan:

solar infra (太阳甲)
converting solar energy to lightning, small but strong
so, I don't think he can attack at night 

scud feet (追魂腿)
destroy the enemy in just one kick

fire bomb (喷火弹)

died blade (死光刀)
lightning blades, break anything in just one attack



lightning fist (闪电拳)
10,000 watt of electric energy. Even the hardest metal in the world
is not his match.

That's all.
