Little Superman - Guia Fortress

The Guia Fortress is a 17th-century colonial military fort, chapel and lighthouse complex in Macau. In Little Superman, the fortress provides a proper filming location for an old school foot chase and some hectic brawls. By the way, one of the involved fighters is a very young Mang Hoi.





Little Superman - Monte Fort

Three factors prevented me from watching this movie:
1. The film's title. Little Superman never seemed to be a tempting one for me. The German title "Karate Superman" is even more questionable.
2. The whole Bruceploitation thing. I'm a huge fan of Tower of Death and Enter the Fat Dragon but the majority of films starring doppelgangers of Bruce never appealed to me. And combining Bruce Lee with Karate and Superman was way too much for me.
3. My lacking informations about the film's cast and crew. I just didn't know it's Ng See-Yuen film.

One of the first scenes gives us a good view of the ruins of St. Paul's in Macau. Since 1975, there have been a few changes around this well known tourist attraction. The scene was filmed at Monte Fort. This great viewpoint is worth a visit.

Some pictures from the making of Hua Shan's science fiction cult movie, featuring leading actor Danny Lee and action director Tong Gai. "The Super Inframan" is based upon the huge success of the Japanese Tokusatsu Shows "Ultraman" and "Kamen Rider" in Hong Kong. It was the first superhero movie in China and the first Shaw Brothers production using a storyboard.
