Storyline

Shep Ramsey is an interstellar hero, righting wrongs, etc. His ship is damaged after a fight with an interstellar nasty and he must hide out on Earth until it can recharge. He leaves his power suit at home, but still finds himself unable to allow wrongs to go unrighted and so mixes it up with bad drivers, offensive paperboys, muggers and the like. Then the family he's staying with finds his power suit and the father tries it on. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

Trivia

Special effects technician Michael Colvin was accidentally killed on the stage of the second unit visual effects shoot when he fell through a trap door while testing it. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Whilst entertaining the Japanese businessmen, Beltz mentions that Nick Adams was in Rodan. This is untrue. Although the US version of Rodan was dubbed and featured some World War II stock footage at the beginning, there we no new scenes shot using American actors as with Godzilla, and certainly nothing involving Nick Adams.

Quotes

Adrian Beltz: [Meeting with Japanese Businessmen] Look who's here! Welcome! Konichiwa! Konichiwa! Just trying to rival that celebrated Japanese sense of employee relations you people are born with or so it seems.
Zukaki: [speaking Japanese] I think I'm gonna hate this guy.
Kim: [Beltz doesn't speak Japanese and Kim translates] Uh, Mr. Zukaki says he is very impressed with your knowledge of his culture.
Zukaki: [to Kim in Japanese] Coward.
