A Chinese volcanic eruption frees a number of prehistoric monsters into the modern world, and only the superhero Infra-Man can save the day. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Within the first four mintues of "Infra-Man," (a) a giant flying lizard attacks a school bus, (b) the Earth cracks open, (c) Hong Kong is destroyed by flames, (d) mountains disintegrate to reveal the forms of reptilian monsters with blinking yellow eyes, (e) the Professor announces that a twenty-million-year-old woman is unleashing the hibernating monsters upon civilization, (f) the Science Headquarters is shaken by a second quake, (g) the Mutants awake, and (h) the Professor, obviously shaken, informs a secret meeting of world leaders, "This situation is so bad that it is the worst that ever has been!"No doubt about it: This is a case for Infra-Man. In his secret laboratory far beneath the Science Headquarters, the Professor explains to a brave volunteer: "We will wire your arms and legs with powerful transistors and death rays. You will be powered by a tiny nuclear reactor. Unfortunately, the operation will be very painful and you may die."

Imagine Austin Powers crossed with a very bad 1970’s Marvel adaptation and you have a rough idea of The Super Inframan, the Shaw Brothers’ 1975 blockbuster film that is getting a UK debut on Blu-ray, courtesy of 88 Films.
