Viewing Notes

Surprised that I haven’t already logged this movie because it doesn’t seem like 5+ years since I last viewed it. I have been hoping to for a big screen viewing since it’s played a few places around the country but no luck here.

I really adore this movie. I’m also nostalgic for it despite not seeing it when it was released in theaters. However, I was mesmerized by the commercials and movie poster. Still not sure why I didn’t see this in the theater because most films we would go.

Super tempted to get the import Blu even though it has no subs. The screencaps I’ve seen are stunning. Inframan is such an oddity in Shaw Brothers’ line-up but I wish they had made a few more films like this during their experimental phase. A sequel would have been appropriate esp. after developing all those costumes. I wonder if any of them or the props are still around in a warehouse somewhere. I’d do about anything for a Bone Soldier costume (I’ve teased the idea of making my own).

Also this is one of the few times when I don’t have to say that I wish I had 1/6 scale figures because I have both Inframan and a Bone Soldier. They are a couple of jewels in my collection.
