Spectreman

Show Summary

Aired: 1971 - 1972
Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: JAPAN

Bad, bad, bad 70s Japanese regular-guy-turns-into-giant-robot-esq show. The highlight (other than the great cheesy monsters) is the main villains. These are two guys in ape masks keeping traditional Japanese theatre alive through the over-use of hand gestures. Wonderfully campy, Spectreman makes the special effects in Power Rangers look like Episode III (but at least the acting is better).

Spectreman is my favorite japanese hero. The best of all.

I love this show. The show came out in the 70's so of course it dosen't have good effect by today's standards. This used to rock back then. To be honest I think it still has good effects considering when it came out. I enjoy it even today.
