646f9e108c Princess Dragon Mom and her mutant army have arisen, and only Inframan can stop them! The ten million year-old Princess Dragon Mom (Terry Liu) attempts to conquer the earth with her legion of mutant monsters. In response, Professor Chang (Wang Hsieh) creates Inframan, turning a young volunteer into a bionic superhero to save the world. However, the Princess kidnaps Chang&#39;s daughter. Can Inframan save her and the planet before it&#39;s too late? &quot;Inframan&quot; is not a &quot;good&quot; movie by any standard, but the energy level is so high and the cheese factor is so outrageous that if you have any patience for Shaw Brothers style old school Chinese movies, you&#39;ll probably like it anyway.<br/><br/>It&#39;s…hard to describe what the deal is with &quot;Inframan&quot;. What it most reminds me of are my grade school playground days, when my friends and I ran around pretending to be jet robots and superheroes and dinosaurs and whatever else came to mind on an instant&#39;s notice. Tons of wild creativity and improvisation, absolutely no focus or coherence or logical linking of one thing to another. Watching &quot;Inframan&quot; takes me back to those days - he pulls new powers and abilities out of thin air, seemingly at random. <br/><br/>The Hong Kong/&quot;Engrish&quot; dubbing is the master touch - whatever the actors were saying in their native languages, their dialog loses any subtlety or nuance by the time the English dubbing crew got done with it, and everyone seems to be yelling the first thing that comes to mind at the top of their lungs. <br/><br/>Great fun. Search this one out and watch it once if you have any affection for the old &quot;Kung Fu Theater&quot; genre or the Power Rangers or Voltron or any of that kind of entertainment. You&#39;ll realize you have watched something primal. After stumbling across the insane poster, I just knew I had to see this movie. Found it on Google Play, got it and made it through all of it – laughing my butt off and crying. It&#39;s not a comedy, but oh mah gawd, you can tell this is where some of our more recent pop culture hits got their inspiration.<br/><br/>Imagine a fever dream with knockoff PowerRanger baddies and bad Korean anime. That sums it up fairly well. EXTREMELY entertaining and hammy acting… the &#39;Dragon Mom&#39; villainess and her co-horts will give you nightmares of the pizza variety. Makes you wish they&#39;d make moviesfun and crazythis again!
