with FREE shipping and handling to anywhere in the United States



It comes with its color insert, inner case, and outer case, all in mint/near-mint condition. The shrink wrap was gone, and I have watched it once then carefully stored. The disc is 100% free of scratch.



This is the 30th Anniversary Digitally Remastered Edition of Chinese Ultraman, so you will find the picture and sound quality much better than those Ultraman DVDs you would find on eBay.com. This is the original, official release, with deluxe, professional artwork on the disc, inner case, and outer case. Unfortunately, this Hong Kong made DVD is not Region One. It's coded in Asian Region, so you won't be able to play it on your regular DVD player. But you should have no problem to play it on any computer with a DVD drive.



This movie had only one goal when it was first produced in 1974, to compete with Japanese Series Ultraman and Kamen Rider. Although unknown to most Americans at the time, Ultraman and Kamen Rider were hugely popular not only in Japan, but the entire Asia during the 1970's. Hong Kong movie makers were determined to produce a film that could lead into a franchise to compete with the Japanese super heroes. That's why its literal English title, The Chinese Ultraman was used when it was first released in Hong Kong and Taiwan in 1975.

The film had indeed surpassed the "actual" Ultraman in many way. This Inframan knew his kung-fu really well, he could fight like a professional Chinese martial art master through out the entire movie. Not much dialogue were used in the film, instead it's filled with action and fighting scenes for this 90 minutes film. It was very difficult for an actor to see while wearing Ultraman-type masks, how could he fight like a martial art master is always a mystery to me. Just imagine a stormtrooper from Star Wars performs kung-fu style fighting for an extended period of time.

Most of the special effects used in the film looked much better than the "actual" Ultraman. When Inframan transformed into a giant, he looked really huge! It was also one of the biggest budget film made in Hong Kong at the time. Although it was a box-office hit for the summer 1975, no more sequel were ever made. So this has become one unique, classic Sci-Fi film of Ultraman-style.
