"When they stop making movies like Infra-Man, a little light will go out of the world." - Roger Ebert. As a kid, I rented this film because of that Ebert review. It was everything he promised.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 Well, Elzebub is the original English name Her name in Chinese is 冰河魔主 (Bīnghé mó zhǔ) or roughly translated as: Glacier Demon Lord
Dragon Moms get tamed by me. I brook no harbor towards relentlessly cruel people and their narrow-minded, intolerant, elitist, narcissistic, selfish, and myopic idiocy, and especially when they are stupid enough to assume that every child should be a doctor, a lawyer, or a teacher in their lives. The harsh truth is that not only is not everyone cut out to be such people, but that some people, believe it or not, GASP, actually WANT to be something OTHER than a doctor, lawyer, or teacher in their lives, AND that there is also a need for people OTHER than doctors, lawyers, and teachers as well in society. Moreover, short of being a drag queen/drag king, stripper, porn star, political activist of the left, right, middle, or fringe, or promoter of drugs and crime, other occupations in life absolutely SHOULD NOT be seen as shameful to parents and parents should absolutely love that a. their children are stable individuals in their lives, b. that their children are sane individuals in their lives, c. that their children are mature individuals in their lives, d. that their children are accountable individuals in their lives, e. that their children are responsible individuals in their lives, f. that their children learned how to be healthy independent people in their lives, g. that their children truly followed their dreams, h. that their children did not become political, and/or corporate, slaves without wills of their own, and i. that their children followed their dreams without hurting, and/or murdering, anyone in the process. I think that the phrase which says, "There are too many chiefs and not enough Indians/tribal members/followers", applies here as well.
My main thought when he kept making fun of 'Princess Dragon Mom' was - is Rita Repulsa really that much better? I mean, this was created about the same time as Gorenger.
This is one of Brandon’s best reviews, which makes me happy because Inframan was my JAM, son! My dad took my best friend and me to see this when it hit the States in 1976. To a pair of 10 year-olds who were fascinated with Ultraman, Johnny Sokko, Kikaida, etc., Inframan was obviously the BEST MOVIE EVER! So we lied and said we hadn’t seen it to get my friend’s stepdad to take us to a 2nd showing. A few more lies, and we were able to work the same magic when his father had him that weekend. And then we used a roll of quarters we found to pay for one more matinee when we were supposed to be at swim school. 10/10, would be a lying little shit just to see it again.
Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot/Getter-Robo honestly got ruined by the horrible anime that killed the franchise, like John K. killing off Mighty Mouse in the 1980s. Coincidentally, the anime series of Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot/Getter-Robo was also in the 1980s. Honestly, I would love to see both series get revived again. I would honestly get the people that did the Ultraman or Pacific Rim anime series to do it this time, though, as I think that it would be done justice by those studios.
A couple of fun facts about INFRA-MAN. It was made to cash in on the shows "Ultraman" and "Kamen Rider" from Japan. In fact Shaw Brothers hired the same creature effects guys from those shows to do this movie. Danny Lee who plays Infra-Man would go on to become the number one movie cop in Hong Kong films of the 80's and 90's, his greatest being his co-starring role in John Woo's THE KILLER. Also the plot hole of Princess Dragon Ma saying the clouds will block out the sun and shut off Infra-man's power is all due to the dubbing of the movie. In the original Chinese dialogue Dragon Ma says that the sun only powers "the Solar Ray" the cross arm blast Infra-Man uses. When the clouds block the sun it stops working, forcing Infra-Man to use his other weapons. The Thunderbolt Fist Blast is a separate weapon, hence why Infra-Man can use it on Dragon Ma in the finale.
Another fun fact: The Hong Kong adaptation of Kamen Rider was dubbed and sold in Germany as a sequel to Infra-Man. But the adaptation of Kamen Rider V3 was not, and retitled "Frankenstein's Kung-Fu Monster" instead. The German movie landscape in the 70's was weird.
@@RokuroCarisu Wrong. I am German and it was released as a sequel to "krieg der Infras" a knockoff of the first kamen rider season. Also both are from taiwan.
Dude, I had this movie on VHS when I was like a toddler and watched it all the time, until the VCR ate it. I was so young that I didn't remember what it was called and as time went on I only had vague memories off it. Damn to see it again; thank's Brandon.
Dude the creators of mmpr definitely copied this film. The word professor sounds like zordon also the lighting bolt on the wall in the lab as well as the monsters and a few plot lines. They even copied the green eyed guy betraying his own team just like tommy(green ranger)
@@SammyHighlightVideoPower Rangers was using suit footage and plots from a Japanese show called Super Sentai that had been around since 1975, the same year InfraMan came out, so Power Rangers wasn't directly copying InfraMan.
Brandon’s like the guy who works at the vintage media store who’s super knowledgeable about obscure media who also happens to be extremely handsome so you end up spending way to much time in the vintage media store.
weldonwin Well, also including the flying to a battle they’re at, growing into a giant, being part of a science squad that protects earth, having a beam weapon that flies out the arm and cuts through mostly anything, wacky ass villains, same color scheme, etc
Buy a ticket to the movie...BOOM....the ticket explodes. Buy popcorn...BOOM...Popcorn explodes...Go to the bathroom...BOOM...bathroom explodes. Sit down in the theater...BOOM...the chair explodes. Turns on the projector...BOOM...the theater explodes
I saw this movie at the drive in when I was 6 years old..it was the greatest thing I ever witnessed next to Godzilla movies...at the time, this was absolutely amazing. people are so jaded nowadays that they lose the magic and appreciation for what movies were before star wars. I fucking love this movie!!!
Crashing a bus full of kids with an earthquake into a city that literally explodes on contact? That escalated rather quickly. I'm sure the bus driver just stuffed the side compartments with explosives and said "Hey kids, you wanna go on that field trip?" Hooray for public transport.
I saw this when it came out... I was 6! I got so scared when the monsters were growing in size that I got out of my chair and ran out of the theater! Literally, ran out of the theater. One of the scariest movies of all time (for a 6 year old).
@@Nat20streak It's a scene from a fake movie that was on TV in Home Alone. They made a brand-new 1940s-looking noir-ish scene from a film called "Angels with Dirty Faces". Pretty cool!
11:54 That scene reminds me of those quick time events in video games where you have to do some serious button mashing on the controller to beat that event or you will lose if you don't.
SerialK86 Never have I laughed from watching a review like that one! "Monster flips over car. BOOM! Car explodes. Alien takes a piss. BOOM! Piss explodes."
She is blond, royalty, the mother of dragons and she ruled since before the last ice age...winter came and went. Inframan has to die before he can become the hero he needs to be. Martin based his series on Inframan! Expect Jon Snow to use Thunderball Fists in the future.
One of my favorite Brandon Tenold reviews. And damn do I want to see this movie. Looks so entertaining. By the way I would love a crossover with Brandon and Decker Shado or Diamanda Hagen. All three together would be the best!
I love all the Ultraman type stuff so when you reviewed this and I've never seen it I was really looking forward to it. I seen one of your videos a while back you were so funny I subscribed. Now I'm finally going back and watching your other videos. Dude no joke. You are hilarious! You're good enough to be on mst3k. I'm not blowing smoke up your ass I'm serious.
This movie is one of me and my friend's favorite movies! It's one of the most AMAZING movies we've ever seen!!!! It has everything you can possibly want in a movie!!!
Well the villain may not be Rita Repulsa but she does bear a strong resemblance to one of the villains from Sun Vulcan. A Sentai that Machiko Soga also appeared in.
One of the hero's crew member is played by the protagonist of Challenge of the Tiger, and the main antagonist is played by one of the ladies from Dragon Lives Again. Nice work on casting, Shaw Brothers
Fun fact: the guy who plays the guard who gets knocked out by the possessed guy's green eyes is Yuen Woo Ping, who would go on to do the fight choreography for The Matrix, Kill Bill, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (among many others)
"Her name's Princess Dragon Mom, how dangerous can she be?" She could give birth to an armada of fire dragons that will turn the whole world into the movie "Reign of Fire"?
He even acknowledges the monsters are rejected Ultraman villains. I think it's safe to say that if he made every single reference to Ultraman, this video would at least be an hour long
Hey Brandon just wanna day been a huge fan forever I can literally say you were a huge part of my childhood and I’m thankful for that man thanks. So keep up the good work despite this not being your latest video
Hey Brandon, you wouldn't complain about Dana's bra size if you saw her in The Image Of Bruce Lee! And speaking of Bruceploitation... you somehow missed Bruce Le as the guy who discovers the brainwashed guy.
You're too young to remember but there was a Chicago film critic named Robert Ebert. He listed this movie as one of his Guilty Pleasures (movies you should hate, but love) . One of his reasons for liking the movie, was the villain's name, Princess Dragon Mom.
Wow, and I thought Power Rangers was pretty screwy in its own right! Still, love the Asian villainesses and actual stunt fights (hope the Hong Kong military gave the actors actual combat pay for this!). Also, did George R. R. Martin rip off Princess Dragon Mom for Danyrus Targayran? Also also, did Guillermo del Toro rip off the Silver Chick's clawed eye hands for the Pale Man in PAN'S LABYRINTH? Seriously, did a whole BUNCH of movies and franchises rip off this film alone?! If anything, it explains Michael Bay's addiction to blowing shit up all the time! Man, I need to seriously catch up.
This is one of my favorite bad movies, and it was the first Brandon Tenold review I watched (came for it specifically). When you posted the first half of the Godzilla: Final Wars review (another of my favorite bad movies), I had to come back and watch this again. For the record, I actually saw this in a theater when I was about 12 years old, and it was the most awesomest thing I'd ever seen.
Poor man never saw a Tokusatsu like Kamen Rider, Ultraman or Super Sentai. Also the Princess Dragon-mom is the dub only the original one was "Demon Princess Elzebub" i can understand why they changed it, lol.
"Poor man never saw a Tokusatsu like Kamen Rider, Ultraman or Super Sentai." Right, because anyone who would use an Android Kikaider clip in their video has CLEARLY never heard of any of that stuff. ◔_◔
One of my all-timefavorite movies. I was lucky enough to see this when it played during its American theatrical release at a Washington D.C. grindhouse, and you have never seen a more pumped-up audience.
If anyone’s interested, this film is now available to view for free on Amazon Prime as “The Super Inframan”. Though with a different soundtrack I think.
Holy shit what a review...The comedy, the timing, exposing plot holes, shitting on editing and writing...Its flawless. One of your best videos to date. Keep up the good work!
saw that in Saskatoon around 1982 or 83. We were in the big city for shopping, and my mom had my older brother and i go to see a movie while she did her shopping. I was maybe 9 years old....and this movie blew my fucking mind. i still love it. And by the way, Shaw Brothers did some amazing kungfu flicks that you oughta review. For example, FIVE DEADLY VENOMS, and the part 2 called CRIPPLED AVENGERS. The cinematography is worth it, alone....but the kungfu is mental.too...
Inframan is, without a doubt, the greatest film of all time. I first watched this three years ago and I think about it every day. Cinema peaked in 1975 and nothing, and I do mean nothing, can top it
1:14 Those symbols translate directly as "China Super Man," hence the alternate Chinese Superman title (It should be noted for those who haven't seen it yet that the Image DVD has both the English dub and the original audio, which has a much more traditional superhero theme going on here.) 13:27 These guys were actually seen during the "burning city rescue" scenes (4:17), but so briefly you'd hardly be expected to remember them. 15:31 This shot always cracks me up. At any other point in the film, these skull-guys are shrieking and flailing and the monster is waving his arms and shooting off his mouth. Here, they're sitting so quietly that it's awkward. The professor seems to be thinking, "...Was it something I said?" 17:54 No, your copy isn't missing a transitional scene here. He's doing somersaults through a wind tunnel, and then he is wire-suspended in the grip of a cheesy animation. It's a natural progression!

Ultraman and Kamen rider are still a thing.

It's like they tried to cram an entire Sentai season into 90 minutes.
Only this was done better than The Last Airbender movie!
Yeah.
"How much of a threat can Princess Dragon Mom be?"
Ask season 8 of Game of Thrones.
In context, the villain's name makes perfect sense. I'm pretty sure there are few things more terrifying to Asian audiences than Dragon Moms.
In the original hong kong version she is called Demon Princess Elzebub.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 Well, Elzebub is the original English name
Her name in Chinese is 冰河魔主 (Bīnghé mó zhǔ) or roughly translated as: Glacier Demon Lord

You’re welcome if someone asks for this
6:55 something tells me if Snoop Dogg becomes a super hero, he'd probably call himself Weed Man.
"Her name's Princess Dragon Mom, how dangerous can she be?"
She could give birth to an armada of fire dragons that will turn the whole world into the movie "Reign of Fire"?
Just gonna ignore that Inframan's laser beam attack is literally identical to Ultraman's? Okay, then.
He even acknowledges the monsters are rejected Ultraman villains. I think it's safe to say that if he made every single reference to Ultraman, this video would at least be an hour long
Well, sure, but that arm position is just asking for some kind of remark. The whole thing is an Ultraman knock-off, but that is straight up theft.
Since when is an arm position copyrighted?
People must really like you.
But Inframan's origins are different from Ultraman! Inframan here is created by an Earth scientist, Ultraman has a space alien in origin.
Hey Brandon just wanna day been a huge fan forever I can literally say you were a huge part of my childhood and I’m thankful for that man thanks. So keep up the good work despite this not being your latest video
Hey Brandon, you wouldn't complain about Dana's bra size if you saw her in The Image Of Bruce Lee!
And speaking of Bruceploitation... you somehow missed Bruce Le as the guy who discovers the brainwashed guy.
I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE!!! I loved it so much as a kid!
HAHAHA! I actually saw this in the theater with my dad back in the 70's. Loved it!
You're too young to remember but there was a Chicago film critic named Robert Ebert. He listed this movie as one of his Guilty Pleasures (movies you should hate, but love) . One of his reasons for liking the movie, was the villain's name, Princess Dragon Mom.
Wow, and I thought Power Rangers was pretty screwy in its own right! Still, love the Asian villainesses and actual stunt fights (hope the Hong Kong military gave the actors actual combat pay for this!). Also, did George R. R. Martin rip off Princess Dragon Mom for Danyrus Targayran? Also also, did Guillermo del Toro rip off the Silver Chick's clawed eye hands for the Pale Man in PAN'S LABYRINTH? Seriously, did a whole BUNCH of movies and franchises rip off this film alone?! If anything, it explains Michael Bay's addiction to blowing shit up all the time! Man, I need to seriously catch up.
I saw this movie here in the US in the theater in 1979 or 80. I was a kid then and, yes, it was the most awesome thing ever!
ah 70s action movies are always awesome
This is one of my favorite bad movies, and it was the first Brandon Tenold review I watched (came for it specifically). When you posted the first half of the Godzilla: Final Wars review (another of my favorite bad movies), I had to come back and watch this again.
For the record, I actually saw this in a theater when I was about 12 years old, and it was the most awesomest thing I'd ever seen.
Wel that seem like a good mov * Boom *
I rented the VHS of this when i was a teen. I got home and the damn tape was chewed up. I hate when that happened
Poor man never saw a Tokusatsu like Kamen Rider, Ultraman or Super Sentai. Also the Princess Dragon-mom is the dub only the original one was "Demon Princess Elzebub" i can understand why they changed it, lol.
"Poor man never saw a Tokusatsu like Kamen Rider, Ultraman or Super Sentai."
Right, because anyone who would use an Android Kikaider clip in their video has CLEARLY never heard of any of that stuff. ◔_◔
Ooohhh, burn. It seems he even forgot your Ultraman reference as well
+Brandon Tenold Dude, I love your channel. It's awesome, and it makes me wanna check out more movies like this one.
Brandon, when will you review Ultraman?
Probably never, since he does movies, not series
One of my all-timefavorite movies. I was lucky enough to see this when it played during its American theatrical release at a Washington D.C. grindhouse, and you have never seen a more pumped-up audience.
Doesn't matter how much money you save, building your lair out of Explodium and Nitroglycerin is NOT worth it.
If anyone’s interested, this film is now available to view for free on Amazon Prime as “The Super Inframan”. Though with a different soundtrack I think.
Inframan is a damn funny movie. Classic!
HELL YEAH! my favourite youtuber AND my favourite schlocky sci fi action flick! time to marathon all the cult movie reviews and gamera-thon videos!
10:48, by the way the guy who try’s stopping the brain washed dude is Bruce Le with one E from Challenge of the Tiger.
Holy shit what a review...The comedy, the timing, exposing plot holes, shitting on editing and writing...Its flawless. One of your best videos to date. Keep up the good work!
ehh. just another bitchy, whiny, nitpicky, forced sarcasm review that everyone on youtube seems to be making nowadays.
+mavdj Ehh. Just another generic, unfunny, dime-a-dozen troll that seems to be so common on RUclips these days...
I see Bowsette was already a thing in the '70s^^
Good one!
LOL
Infra-man!!!! Last time I saw that was back in the 70's, took me back for sure.
is there a bluetooth man or wireless man?
saw that in Saskatoon around 1982 or 83. We were in the big city for shopping, and my mom had my older brother and i go to see a movie while she did her shopping. I was maybe 9 years old....and this movie blew my fucking mind. i still love it. And by the way, Shaw Brothers did some amazing kungfu flicks that you oughta review. For example, FIVE DEADLY VENOMS, and the part 2 called CRIPPLED AVENGERS. The cinematography is worth it, alone....but the kungfu is mental.too...
Awesome man funny review as always
Brandon reviews Inframan BOOM! Inframan explodes.
watched this last weekend and counted the explosions
i counted 110 in total
count the explosions in power rangers XD
....
@@dracometeors3010 But remember: Kalishsplosions still only count as one!
9:34 is it just me or when he did the specium beam pose the beam is above his head
First saw this movie in the late 80's on the USA network, during Kung-Fu June.
Yeah, Love Commander USA!
Congrats on your 75th episode!
Inframan is, without a doubt, the greatest film of all time. I first watched this three years ago and I think about it every day. Cinema peaked in 1975 and nothing, and I do mean nothing, can top it
Ah this brings back some childhood memories. My dad had this recorded on vhs and I still have it but it won't play anymore unfortunately
"Mother of Dragons " anyone ????
I knew it she's the the upcoming pokemon games new dragon type gym leader
1:14 Those symbols translate directly as "China Super Man," hence the alternate Chinese Superman title (It should be noted for those who haven't seen it yet that the Image DVD has both the English dub and the original audio, which has a much more traditional superhero theme going on here.)
13:27 These guys were actually seen during the "burning city rescue" scenes (4:17), but so briefly you'd hardly be expected to remember them.
15:31 This shot always cracks me up. At any other point in the film, these skull-guys are shrieking and flailing and the monster is waving his arms and shooting off his mouth. Here, they're sitting so quietly that it's awkward. The professor seems to be thinking, "...Was it something I said?"
17:54 No, your copy isn't missing a transitional scene here. He's doing somersaults through a wind tunnel, and then he is wire-suspended in the grip of a cheesy animation. It's a natural progression!
