I remember the Starman films running on the regular rotation for The Sunday Morning Movie on New Orleans local TV. Never missed them whenever they came up. Really fun films.
I love these old Starman TV movies. Ken Utsui is absolutely grand in the role of a powerful yet humble superhero, and he did all his own stunt work, too. The over-exaggerated Marvel and DC superheroes of today's outrageously expensive Hollywood productions are all makeup, prosthetics and CGI. Ken Utsui outshines them all with physical grace and strength of character, despite his "low hanging fruit" costume (doing all that stunt work without a cup was pretty daring). The wide spectrum of villains is also wonderful. Those that aren't dangerous aliens, various mutants, or outright megalomaniacs and their minions are evil mad scientists motivated by deep-seated hatred of their fellow humans. The humanoid manifestation of a mutated germ cell is exceedingly creepy. There is also unintentional creepiness to be found in the little girl who wears eyeglasses, who never under any circumstances registers the slightest emotion. Seriously, the kid is a human cipher. Creepy! The art direction and set design for all Starman movies are just fantastic. The evil mad scientist laboratories and secret alien lairs in this film are reminiscent of the paranoia-inducing alien tunnels and habitats of "Invaders from Mars" that gave me nightmares when I was boy. RIP Ken Utsui. You were the best.
You prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the new series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of days =)
I didn`t know this Japanese-made TV SF program was so popular out of Japan. As a Japanese citizen, I`m very pleased that STARMAN is loved among people all over the world, but I failed to watch this when I was a little kid in 1960`s.
OMG What memories this brings back. Crap production values, cardboard spaceships and dubbing where the lip sync was out the door, and that is why as high school students in the 60s we absolutely loved these movies. So bad they were terrific.In the playground we used to imitate the bad lip sync. Back then in Australia we had”The Samurai” and “Phantom Agents” as

I think part of the appeal of shows like this, Rocky Jones, Classic Doctor Who and so forth, at least for me, is that they are all 'children's' shows. Made not just for children but with the knowledge that children are a large part of the audience. So the stories are fairly uncomplicated by adult issues, straight forward plots, one knows who the good guys and bad guys are. I think it makes them concentrate on a fast paced adventure story without being able to screw around too much. Makes for a fun lighthearted watch for me.
I watched Starman land outside on an airplane wing in a storm, change into an Armani suit and fedora, plane lands not a wrinkle and drip dry... now that's a cosmic satorial Boss!!! 🙌
Ah! The source of the "If this evil force can be stopped and destroyed before actual nuclear war begins, then the universe will be safe" sound clip that keeps being sampled for songs. I've also heard "fly through space, to detect radioactivity, and to speak and understand every language on the planet Earth" used as a sample (for example, both appear right at the beginning of "Planet Protector" from the PS1 game Dragonseeds).
Note; vapor turns door knob, sound recorded mic to speaker from old crappy tv. That intro is used for all of the series of films with starman. Was Bowie watching this?!
I use to watch a star man series when I was young but I remember a different man playing the super hero,the guy was a know actor at the time might even be Indian.
only people who speak Japanese know if these movies are good or not. :) the voiceovers were always like this. LOL and i love these old “special effects”. 🤣
First thought: Finally found the voicelines from "Blow It Up" in Red Alert 2
Second thought: He's a Starman waiting in the sky
Sure glad these documentaries were filmed, live, as it actually happened.

Yes, we STILL love STARMAN.
The starman movies are a childhood fond memory and always will be.
I found the movie randomly on UA-cam. I love it. There are more?!

Forget Klattu Barada Nikto. The most famous phrase in science-fiction has to be "Is that Balazar's brain?"

I loved the Starman flicks. Hey, if you're gonna watch a real stinkeroo, smoke 'em if ya got 'em, and watch this one.
I bought these movies on DVD. I treasure them.
Gentlemen, it's a nuclear device. Time is running out! T-T-T-Time is running out!

I am on a 2 week beak from my caring role and watching these old b/w science fiction movies is part of my down time👍🐝🌅😉🌅🌊

That was terrible! :) Thanks for posting.
Ahh so this is where that quote from "Purple People Eater" in the Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders OST came from
33:29
This truly 😂is a great movie .😮
These bring back the 60s for me...but watching with more mature eyes, is it just me or do all the fight scenes look like Interpretive Dance?
they can fly through space - but all the guy with the brain can do is run with his legs. and the brain 🧠- in a suitcase??? ROTFL 😂
-Attention all patrol cars, ... you are to seek a Monster! lol
hunters lap top in that case !
🤣
Starman is dead. This is a shock to me. This is culture shock.

no coincidences
FUN FILM! To quote Ahnauld in "Predator" (re the guy @10:10 on crutches), "Man, you one UGLY mudda f*@er!"
Ken Utsui...aka...Sonny Chiba.!!!
Peter Fernandez, the voice of "Speed Racer" doing voice overs in this film!
33:30 sample for red alert
We think it 'mazing!
OMG he looked in - in - a- a book????!!!!
Maybe you convinced Starman to save everything except for California.
Saw the part from 19:29 - 21:38 on one episode of “Whose Line is it Anyway?”
oh, the brain of Bob Lazar!
By the way I’m 53 and this series was in space.
... Is That ' MAKO' Who is Chasing The Suitcase
I use to watch a star man series when I was young but I remember a different man playing the super hero,the guy was a know actor at the time might even be Indian.
Laugh all you want. Ken Utsui still looks better in that costume than you and I would.
only people who speak Japanese know if these movies are good or not. :)
the voiceovers were always like this. LOL
and i love these old “special effects”. 🤣

Man I got this joint 2.. This shit goes HARD! B-Movies are Great during this Pandemic!
