Starring: Ken Utsui, Junko Ikeuchi, Minoru Takada

All right, another Star Man movie! Strangely enough, I actually non-ironically enjoyed this movie. It was funny and campy and wonderful, and it’s called EVIL BRAIN FROM OUTER SPACE!!! How can you not love that?!

An evil brain from outer space comes to Earth with intentions to take over the planet. Literally, a little brain in a suitcase. It’s controlling a bunch of goons, but they’re no match for… dun duh daa: STAR MAN! Star Man, a superhero from space who gets his powers from a special watch, spends the movie jumping around and fighting in the way that these cheesy Japanese movies from the 60’s had fighting done. It’s so great.

I heartily recommend this film to those of you who enjoy things like old Ultraman or Power Rangers or any of that other goofy crap that’s come out of Japan over the years. Star Man can beat them all. With his watch. That doesn’t even tell time.
