    Not as good...

    I much prefer his master, Day Man, champion of the sun. He is after all a master of karate and friendship for everyone. But I like Night Man's codpiece and his mask is neat.

    More fun and zany than current superhero content

    Though largely forgotten this show is definitely worth a look, even a passing one.

    This show is a perfect balance of silly and serious, coming from a time when "Hercules" and "Xena" permeated the air, and embellishes in that same camp, schlock, and occasinal edge. Matt Mccolm is more than believable as a superhero with a muscular physique, noble voice and genuine presence- it's a shame his career as a lead didn't get bigger than this.

    There are some jaw-dropping cameos across the episodes which are not forced and instead genuinely funny including the likes of Donald Trump, Little Richard, Jerry Springer, and Taylor Dayne among others Then-unknowns Kim Coates and Shane Brolly are convincing as supervillains, and the genuine feel and presentation of this show is a genuine superhero delight, despite its cheap budget and obvious blue screens at times. A simple cheesy schlockfest, and I'm here for it.

    All My Dreams Have Come True

    I have found a reason to live, and his name is "Night Man".

    It is because I believe in fate. It is because I believe the saviour of the world will come with an ability to pick up on "the frequency of evil".

    As well as by being a sexy saxophone player with a huge, glowing red eye that can shoot fricking laser beams at dudes.

    Oh, yeah - and he can fly, and he drives one of those crazy Chrysler cars that looks like an old roadster.

    I can't believe it took me 8 years to discover this!

    Happy viewing to you!!!

    Cherish it

    The show converts the same values as a comic onto the screen in a similar way to the original batman series. It uses charm as it's main weapon, and pulls it off with room to spare. It has a strange ability to cut through the mental blocks of brainwashed viewers who would usually not watch a program with a low budet, bad effects and/or dodgy acting. Most people can actually appreciate this show, if only for humour value. This show and it's exellent jazz rhythm should be on the TV more. 10 stars.

    Great fun, for a terrible production.

    Fantastic show, for the reasons that all others have disliked it. It's cheesy, very predictable, and great fun to watch because it's so poor. I cannot say anything positive about the quality of acting or production, (and the the blue-screen flying sequences are some of the worst I have ever seen!), yet the overall appeal comes from the enjoyment of seeing such low quality pulp TV. Surely to become a cult classic, as long as audiences don't take it too seriously, or expect too much!

    • Goofs
      Night Man is always shown flying forward at a 45 degree angle. His belt only contains an anti-gravity device, so all he could do is go up or down.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: Johnny Domino was one of San Francisco's hottest young jazz musicians, but fate and a cosmic event were about to change his life forever. What the doctors told him seemed impossible.
