Thighhighsenpai Oof I’m pretty sure Turkish Star Wars is (or was at one point) and he rated it better than Starman, also he doesn’t really stick to the list anymore
I find it really weird (yes, amongst all the weirdness already going on) that of all the things to have a weakness to water, the writer chose SALAMANDERS. Salamanders love water! They're amphibians for goodness sake.
It actually makes sense when you consider that in ancient times Salamanders were considered fire elementals because they would emerge from the kindling to flee when the wood they were in caught fire so they literally thought salamanders were born in fires
I love how the salamander men (salamanders being amphibious) commit suicide by jumping into the water and exploding instead of, you know, anything that a salamander does in the water like SWIMMING.
Do you think if aliens made a movie about humans, we'd carry human shaped staffs and wear clothes with human images on them, maybe made of flesh coloured leather? Also he should have realised they weren't indestructible when he realised they explode when they come in contact with water. That makes them about as effective as the aliens from Signs.
+Walter K Which is odd, because salamanders are only associated with fire because of a myth that they're so cold they put fires out on contact. I'll always wonder how they went from being the antithesis to the representative. It's weird.
Tony Hakston+ From what I read once about elementals and their origins the most likely story is that because salamanders like dry wood, they'd often find their way into firewood piles. Then when the wood was thrown on the fire, the salamanders would quickly dart out to escape the flames, but people thought they were being born from the flames. The bright yellow dots and sooty-coloured skin likely helped that belief.
Dear IHE, your videos are so good I've rewatched them several times. I am particularly fond of "The search for the worst" series because its good fun with no drama and some sort of goal involved. You take the work out of watching all those terrible movies for me and really add an entertainment and comedic element to them on top of things. Please continue making these videos and keep up the good work. Thank you.
My new goal is to try and reboot Starman (or supergiant as he's apparently known as in Japan) for modern times. I feel like it should be an action comedy, I'm thinking of something like Superman meets Guardians of the Galaxy with the humor of Monty Python (or if I can't pull that off I'll just shoot for Mel Brooks).
I'll write, produce, direct and edit it for you if you like. I can even give you a discount on my services to score it if you make a good enough case for why I should. You can be my line producer and caterer. I should tell you that I've copyrighted a first draft already, so refusal will unfortunately result in you being frozen out of this and all future Starman/Giantman projects. It _has_ been so awesome working w/you, though! You've been a part, however small (insignificant, really, if you think about it), to the success of my picture, you should be proud of that!
You should check out Prince of Space some time. It's almost as entertaining as Invaders, only replace Star Man with Prince of space, and replace the Salamanders with chicken men. (Btw the Slamander men were meant to be Kapa, but they weren't that popular outside of Japan at the time.)
I think it's the other way around, I think movies like this are what gave birth to the shonen and general anime tropes we come to expect. But yeah, this was their take on the superhero genre, and I honestly enjoy it a lot.
Yeah, it looks like an old tokusatsu movie. There's actually a lot of cross-influence in tokusatsu and anime, but they really just happen to share the same kids show tropes.
I mean, it _is_ a tokusatsu. Also it might have a similar story to _Prince_ of Space, which was a "movie" created by cutting together several episodes of a Japanese _series_ into a single movie. And redubbing everything. And that's actualyl why some elements, most notably "Your weapons are useless against me!" keep getting reused.
If you look this movie up, you'd discover that this is a collection of 2 movies from a film series in Japan from the 50s & this movie comes from the middle of the series, hence the getting right into the plot. I agree this is some brilliant craziness. Then again, most Tokusatsu is. If you need to know what that genre is, it's action shows & films like Power Rangers, which is made from new American footage & dubbing of Japanese footage from Super Sentai, its parent series from Japan. Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Metal Heroes, etc are Tokusatsu. Probably more than anyone wanted to know, but meh.
Todd's Blergers Sorry about that, It double posted for some stupid reason. I deleted the other post but you still probably got it sent twice still huh?
Yeah, but it's also often used to indicate nationality or race - 日本人 (Japanese person), アメリカ人 (American person), 黒人 (black person), etc. So the use of an animal name followed by 人 usually indicates "person of the [animal] nation/race/tribe", but "[animal] man" is a lazy way to translate it. Basically, my guess is that the "salamander men" were originally トカゲ人 - as another bonus, トカゲ/salamander is used as the generic word for reptiles in Japanese, much like "lizard" is in English. I'd go with "Reptilians" as a translation, assuming it was in fact トカゲ人 originally.
Kzinssie (porygonlover322) I know what 人 is, but only from Chinese (the characters are the same for Ren/men) but I was just wondering why you mentioned it. I was just curious as to why you thought what you did in your initial comment.
MountainnJew Oh course he doesn't buy them you old bloke. How is he supposed to find a nearly 40 year old movie and buy it... It's easier just to torrent it. Who is going to buy a piece of shit?
My body also explodes when I'm thrown into a river and drowned. Due to slightly faulty clone construction, my body is part Lithium, the one that explodes on contact with water. The later James clones were more lucky than me, since they used the Anti-Animatronic Custom Part which deflects awfully paced game's spirits during the Incubation Period.
***** I am about to tell you the truth on why haven't we gotten a super hawt cat girl machine. You see... Cats can be dicks. This has been a shitty day. Literally. My cat fucking shat so much poop in the middle of my room. ON MY INTERNET CABLES. I've been washing my room and all the cables carefully for hours until the stench has gone. It's still fucking there, though luckily I am ventilating that room while sitting here. And even then I'm not sure if that will work. And my brother along with his to-be wife is coming in 2 days, fuck. Now imagine tee-heeing and meow-meowing with a HAWT cat girl all day long, then you wake up the next day, and she shat on your carpet. That is the worst cockblock in the history of anything ever. And it happened because the fusion happened with a sliiiiiiiight flaw which made the cat girls actually be a little cat-like. Let's hope my cat won't be a dick when he grows up. What a dick.
I like how the Salamander-Men changed the planets rotation so Starman just decided "Eh fuck it. I been showing these guys mercy but now I'm just gonna kill em..." Lol
I'm curious to know why Starman is such a common name. You've got the Starman power up in Mario, the Starmen of the Mother series, Starman enemies in Kirby, Starman in Megaman, and now this Starman. It's... Incredibly bizarre to me.
Aaahhh. Just got back from a late choir-rehearsal at my school, and now back at home I can sit cross-legged on my bed with a slice of leftover cheesecake while watching old-school IHE SFTW videos. :') Life is great.
To be fair, a lot of foreign (mostly Japanese) B-movies in the 50s and 60s, when arriving in the US, were recut for an American audience. The most famous example is Godzilla (1954), in which the Americans inserted an English narration and reshot some of the scenes with a Caucasian actor (Raymond Burr). This American version will later become known as "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" (after a re-release of the original Godzilla in the US).
I'm actually glad you made this mistake. I would never have known about this otherwise. I may have to look for this now XD Would still like to see Prince of Space if you can find it though
This movie has such a cheesy charm to it; I just love it! It was hilarious to see Alex tickled by it, despite his attempt to rant and criticize it. It's always funny to me when IHE is so bewildered/amused by some zany events in a movie (like in Lazerblast or Who Killed Captain Alex?) and his enjoyment of it is so genuine. Great review, IHE! I'm so glad you stumbled across this golden piece of cinema.
you want to know what makes superman great? read all-star superman. though, i will concede that there are a good amount of writers who have no idea how to make superman work as an interesting character.
Starman or the Giant or spaceman, depending on where this movie was shown is actually a TV serie from the sixties. 3 or 4 movies were just a bunch of episodes put together. These movies were not intended to impress other than kids. I was among them and I enjoyed every one of them. The idea was to produce a Japanese Superman likeTV series. The budget was ridiculous compared to the rather mediocre Superman at the time which had a larger budget thanks to well established add sponsors.Anyways, I bought the DVDs lately and I must confess, even though the special effects seems too outdated, I still feel the magic I felt for when I was a kid. Eh, I live in France and Starman was called Spaceman. Superman TV series was not available in France back then and I only saw a few episodes lately on youtube but as an adult that is why I drew the comparison. Be safe.
This movie looks incredible, and I'm glad you made the mistake between the two and gave this beautiful gem more exposure.. but you still need to review Prince Of Space.
I love that in the end Starman recruits the help of the humans with their improvised chemical guns to wipe out the remaining Invaders. You never see that kind of thing in Invasion movies.
The Salamander Men die when exposed to water. I'll give you a couple minutes to think about how stupid that is. These aliens are supposedly salamanders, an animal that needs constant moisture to live, yet they explode when wet.
I am putting this comment here because its after the wrongfully DMCA'd IHE review of The Room. In the playlist there is currently a deleted video. this video is meant to be IHE's review which a character by the name of TOMMY WISEAU has taken down. up vote to spread the word
Fantastic video, I'm actually glad you resorted to making longer videos at a slower rate rather than shorter videos at a faster raid, once again your angry and cynical entertainment never fails to suffice.
What makes this even better is that the Salamanders decide the best spot to invade the Earth is the Islands of Japan You know, islands, surrounded by water, their only weakness
Every time you said "Star Man" I thought about Mega Man. Also, I just realized that the Salamander Men blowing up in water is probably where M. Night Shyamalan got his idea for water being caustic to aliens in Signs.
Come on, this movie is actually nice (charming and laughable in some ways) for its age ! and its cool to hear you respect the movie before actually criticizing and hate it on some aspects
Wait a minute. Is THIS movie where the "Shapeshifting Lizard People" conspiracy theory came from? I really hope so, because that would make it SO MUCH FUNNIER!
So...his watch can allow him to fly through space, detect energies and speak any language? Goddamit, Doctor, stop leaving your timelord thingamajigs behind!
Actually hilarious, I now have a new favourite movie quote: "I thought we were indestructible, but we're not."
Mooncake!!!

I’ve been covering up the screen every time he came up. It’s nearly 2 in the morning and I’m probably going to have nightmares if I sleep tonight.
I find it really weird (yes, amongst all the weirdness already going on) that of all the things to have a weakness to water, the writer chose SALAMANDERS. Salamanders love water! They're amphibians for goodness sake.
I guess shamalan is a fan of the classics
It actually makes sense when you consider that in ancient times Salamanders were considered fire elementals because they would emerge from the kindling to flee when the wood they were in caught fire so they literally thought salamanders were born in fires
yeah its not like a million dollar movie wou...
Why would they even go to a planet that’s mostly water 😂
In alchemy, salamanders represent the element of fire. That's probably why.

This movie plays out like a live-action anime. I'm guessing that might have been their original intention?

Thank you for reviewing this morning. I saw this movie as a kid, a few times. I totally forgot about it until today.
Watching this, I feel like the style of Sentai/Power Rangers goes way farther back than I thought, particularly all the flips and monsters blowing up.
If you're curious about Prince of Space, it's basically this but instead of salamander men it's chicken men lead by a dude with the worst laugh ever.

I love that in the end Starman recruits the help of the humans with their improvised chemical guns to wipe out the remaining Invaders. You never see that kind of thing in Invasion movies.
Hey just a little pointer, you said they wanted to change earth's rotation however the salamander people said orbit
Star man, aaaaaaah...
Fighter of the Salomander man, aaaaaaah...
Also THAT'S what those monsters from Harry Potter were called. Dementors, fitting.
Champion of the stars he's a master of kung fu and humanity for everyone
Appreciated the Its always sunny reference
Champion of the liz, master of molesting the buttholes of everyone!
The Salamander Men die when exposed to water. I'll give you a couple minutes to think about how stupid that is. These aliens are supposedly salamanders, an animal that needs constant moisture to live, yet they explode when wet.
+Dracorex13 Then they decide to take over a planet who's surface is 70% water.
+Anderan signs 2.0?

One could argue Signs is Invaders from Space 2.0 since it came first by a rather significant margin.
I love old movies like this where absolutely nothing makes sense, they're the best kind of bad movies: batshit crazy but super entertaining
I am putting this comment here because its after the wrongfully DMCA'd IHE review of The Room. In the playlist there is currently a deleted video. this video is meant to be IHE's review which a character by the name of TOMMY WISEAU has taken down. up vote to spread the word
thank you!
Actually, for me it's still up. just watched it in fact.
+Addison Bortion its back up now, but it was taken down for a bit
The mistake of this movie is that should have been an anime
Fantastic video, I'm actually glad you resorted to making longer videos at a slower rate rather than shorter videos at a faster raid, once again your angry and cynical entertainment never fails to suffice.
"Star Man, you must go out and save Earth!"
"Cool, no problem. Wait, how far is it?"
"Oh, only 543,932,032,789.95 light years away."
"........"
Thank you for accidently doing this movie, this is my favorite movie now.
this movie is basically just black and white tokustatsu tbh, no wonder i love it
So you don't trust me huh? You don't like llamas?! That's just offensive!
Nah it's okay i don't trust myself either...
Who doesn't like llamas?
Llama Seems like this guy doesn't!
Kulpas llamas are great AGAHAHHAHHHDHFffffff..
Please don't kill me llama overlords.
What makes this even better is that the Salamanders decide the best spot to invade the Earth is the Islands of Japan
You know, islands, surrounded by water, their only weakness
GET OUT SALAMANDERMAN I'M WATCHING A VIDEAY
Every time you said "Star Man" I thought about Mega Man.
Also, I just realized that the Salamander Men blowing up in water is probably where M. Night Shyamalan got his idea for water being caustic to aliens in Signs.
Invaders from space is my favorite anime
I hate when people watch and complain about movies but you do it right. You make valid points funny and your wit shows.
I thought we were indestructible.. but we're not :/
...I really, really like the concept here. Aliens coming together to decide if we're worth saving or not.
StarMan is my favorite Overwatch character.
Venialias Starman as new DLC for Smash 4
This is the origin of Filthy Frank's Salamander Man, I guess?
Starman > superman
11:21
And that's when I realized you're effectively reviewing "Signs"
REALLY ENTERTAINED BY THE MOVIE AND YOUR NARRATION
"all the kids are being terrorized by salamanders"
-IHE 2014
Come on, this movie is actually nice (charming and laughable in some ways) for its age ! and its cool to hear you respect the movie before actually criticizing and hate it on some aspects
salamander man? like filthy frank? now thats a movie i would see
And that was the moment that IHE, realized he can make something out of this in the future, something about good movies.
Why didn't they just send Pink Guy to protect Earth from the salamander men?
Wait a minute. Is THIS movie where the "Shapeshifting Lizard People" conspiracy theory came from?
I really hope so, because that would make it SO MUCH FUNNIER!
Saw something in the background that said, "santa Claus conquers the martians", great.
I’m from the future. It’s not.
F in the chat for everyone who was expecting a NYEEEEES when talking about salamander man
So...his watch can allow him to fly through space, detect energies and speak any language? Goddamit, Doctor, stop leaving your timelord thingamajigs behind!
Actually he stole it from River
