Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis 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.
- GoofsDuring 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 versionsThe 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.

Featured review
A mix of Tokusatsu and 1970s kung-fu, it delivers what he promises.
Shaw Brothers is mostly known for their kung fu films, but they did occasionally try things outside of their wheelhouse namely Mighty Peking Man and Super Infra Man. Super Inframan is your basic rubber suit monster battle but filtered through the lense of Hong Kong kung fu flicks complete with bad audio syncing and out of place sounding impact shots. In terms of plot.....Image if you had an entire seasons worth of Power Rangers plots squished into 90 minutes and compressed the storytelling into about 20 minutes filling the rest with action scenes. The movie is non stop action and unapologetically silly and if you're a fan of silly monster movies or kung fu flicks you'll find something to like. Just don't expect much of a coherent narrative.
