Getting rained out at work today I had some extra time on my hands, which I spent watching more episodes of Iron King(1972-1973). I have now watched seventeen(17) episodes of this 26 episode live action series. Anyone around here who considers themselves a fan of Ultraman and other superhero giants should consider picking up Iron King on DVD(R1). There is a lot of action and cool miniature effects in this series, which chronicles the exploits of two special Japanese defense force agents, Gentaro Shizuka and Goro Kirishima, the latter who can morph into the giant cyborg called "Iron King", as they deal with threats to the world like the Phantom Militia and the masked Titanians. This series has a lot to offer: frenetic hand to hand combat scenes, great pyrotechnic effects, some campy humor and, in some episodes, some flat out gorgeous female characters(tongue-1). There's also Iron King himself, who fights various monster robots employed by the villains. Here's a link with a blurb about the series itself: http://www.japanhero.com/profiles/iron_king_profileL.htm Here's Iron King for sale as a R1 DVD set at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Iron-King-Complete-S...i/dp/B000WC38OQ |
