Trivia
Features a Death Star and a planet-destroying weapon--12 years before the same things appeared in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977).

Goofs
Poorly choreographed fight scenes near the end in which Starman throws feeble punches, many of which barely touch anyone. Also, there are several scenes in which people are throwing themselves to the ground or from high places.

Connections
Edited from Sûpâ jaiantsu - Jinkô eisei to jinrui no hametsu (1957)

Better than I expected.

This is actually pretty good for something that was made for Japanese tv in 1965. It has the longest fight scene ever and it's totally ridiculous. There a few things I didn't care for though. Even though Starman was just created in another galaxy, everyone on Earth knows who he is. That's just lame. Also they start off by explaining the powers he has and they never mention that bullets and fire can't hurt him. Besides those two minor issues, it's really not that bad.
