The Super Inframan (Chinese: 中國超人) is a Hong Kong science fiction action film produced by Shaw Brothers Studio in 1975. Inspired by the huge success of the Japanese tokusatsu franchises such as Ultraman and Kamen Rider, this film features the same type of "henshin"/transformation, monster/robot action and costumed heroics, coupled with kung fu action. The plot focuses on ten million year-old Princess Dragon Mom as she attempts to conquer the earth with her legion of monsters. In response, Professor Chang creates Inframan, turning a young volunteer into a bionic superhero to save the world. However, the Princess kidnaps Chang's daughter. Can Inframan save her and the planet? Watch this bizarre piece of cinematic history to find out!

Hong Kong Phooey Ready For Action

Riding the legendary Peak Tram along the Victoria Peak overlooking Hong Kong, our guy has lost his way. He must look inward and drown out all the noise. Be on his own to search for answers. This is the power of aloneness. You can not lose when you know yourself.

Kumite Hong Kong 1988

This is the iconic neon symbol of traditional Chinese pawn shops in HK. The symbol is actually a bat hanging upside down and holding a coin. The bat signifies fortune (fortune & bat have similar pronunciation in Chinese) and the coin signifies benefits. You see these signs all over HK. Neon signs are sadly disappearing as regulations have tightened and many have been removed. Today, the remainder of neon signs can mostly be found in Wan Chai or Mong Kok and still give certain roads the nostalgic feel of old Hong Kong.

Chungking express Wong Kar Wai

John Woo's last-directed classic HK film was 1992's action masterpiece HARD-BOILED. Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung team up to take down a hospital full of Anthony Wong's henchmen is what remains the pinnacle of real-world, classic-style gun-fu filmmaking.

The epic next chapter in the cinematic Monsterverse pits two of the greatest icons in motion picture history against one another - the fearsome Godzilla and the mighty Kong on a bowl of spicy ramen.
