Fasten your seat belts and prepare your brain for blast-off with these two hilariously insane sci-fi action epics! Inter-galactic superhero Starman battles alien evildoers in a scientifically-askew universe where you can easily breathe the fresh air of outer space. First two kids stumble upon an Attack from Space when they're captured by Space Fascists from the Sapphire Galaxy! These aliens called the Superians force the kiddies' scientist dad to build a giant spaceship which flies to the aliens' Supreme Headquarters. Fortunately, the concerned creatures of the Emerald Planet send Starman to save the universe! With his corny costume, super strength, and ability to fly from planet to planet like a guided human missile, Starman clobbers bad guys with a frenzied fighting style mixing martial arts and berserk ballet! Plus, "the most brilliant mind in the universe" tries to conquer the Earth with an army of mutants, monsters, mad doctors, and a "super germ" that turns into a white-faced, witch-like woman with killer-claws until Starman once again leaps into action and defeats the Evil Brain from Outer Space--who lives in a briefcase.

Sci-fi enthusiasts from the baby-boom generation are sure to get a solid dose of nostalgia from this double bill of surreal adventures featuring Starman, who fought interplanetary evil on late-night TV in America during the mid-'60s and beyond. Known as Super Giant in his native Japan, the cowled crusader was featured in four 80-minute films that were culled from nine featurettes produced by the Shintoho Company (an offshoot of Toho) in 1957-58. Starman's trademark blend of frantic action and primitive special effects are on display in both features (the second and fourth in the series), which pit Starman against diabolical invaders (in Attack from Space) and an alien brain's mutant henchmen (Evil Brain from Outer Space). Kids may find the goings-on alternately corny and disturbing (the mutants are scary, and Starman racks up a considerable body count), but old-school monster movie fans will relish this chance to catch up with an old pal. ––Paul GaitaSimilarProduct
