Chinese Ultraman has some class

Hard to rate a movie as bad as this that's so much fun! The key to this one is kung-fu fighting monsters, "thunderball fists", and of course, Princess Dragon Mom! Wielding a very long whip she plots to rule the earth and unfortunately only Inframan tries to stop her. Dig the fact that everybody in the film drives VWs. Shaw Bros' do Ultraman, and it's a pretty bizarre affair. Best scene -- Professor and the monsters on the motorboat going to monkey-skull island. Truly strange.

Trivia
This film has historical importance: it was the first superhero film that was made in China, the first film promotion in Hong Kong that used a hot air balloon, and the first Shaw Brothers production that used a storyboard.

Goofs
During several of the fights between the creatures and the Silver Suited Men in the film, several of them have tears in the crotches of their uniforms (which can be seen when the men land on their backs and their legs are not close together).

Quotes
Princess Dragon Mom: Greetings to you, Earthlings; I am Princess Dragon Mom. I have taken over this planet; now I own the Earth, and you'll be my slaves for all eternity! The disasters you have witnessed are just small examples of our great power. Either surrender to me, or I'll destroy all humans! I've spoken; it's all the warning you're going to get from me. You'll be destroyed!

Alternate versions
The U.S. English-dubbed version has a completely different title sequence (except for when the "transformation" animation from the background of the original Hong Kong credit sequence has been reworked into the beginning of the U.S. credits) that replaces and deletes some of the original music (as well as adding library music into appropriate scenes), and all of the sequences of Lei-Ma's standard transformation into Infra-Man have been cut.
