Terrell and his robot, Tobor, land aboard an atomic sub that’s been heisted by criminals.  The sub also has a ticking bomb on board and has been targeted for a nuclear strike!  Gordon (Bride of Frankenstein) has a nice part as a madman who wants to rule the world.  A little schlocky but good fun.  

(1979) Tayfun Demir, Güngör Bayrak, Yildirim Gencer, Esref Kolçak, Nejat Özbek.  Okay, let’s face it, this is a LOW-budget Turkish super hero film, which as a genre make people like Ed Wood look like geniuses.  You know what kind of low-budget dredge to expect when the special effects include a...

(1957) Ken Utsui, Junko Ikeuchi, Minoru Takada.  Another 100 minutes of spaced-out Japanese superhero schlockiness.  This two-disc set is in Japanese with no subtitles but the storylines are so obvious it’s fairly simple to fathom what’s going on.  The big guy, Starman, takes on various bad guys...
