hey all I'm trying to find a particular movie that I saw when I was a Kid and loved it on ebay or anywhere in storese but I forgot the title.

The jist of the movie is this guy (who looks like Ultraman), must fight this dark queen and her minions. Some of the minions where twins with spring loaded hands and heads, A flying dragon (size of a human) he kept taking the head off and it was reanimated, a gaint plant like creature that looked like a weed(not the one you smoke), one monster had a drill for his hand (and was a purpleish blue color) for some i can remember. I know it had Man in the title but that does not help much, but I'm kicking myself trying to remember this movie. If anyone knows please let me know, thanks.

The only film I can think of with a Ultraman like hero is "The Guyver" but I don't think that is what you are looking for.

It had Spacemen or Zombies. (Can't remember.) And I think that they derived their power from the sun or from light. I remember one scene when one of the spacemen/zombies put a flashlight against his head for power.

Good luck and thanks!
That's Astro Zombies. Starring John Carradine and the amazing Tura Satanna and with a screenplay written by Wayne "M*A*S*H" Rogers.

As for Infra-Man, sadly it is not available at the time on DVD. VHS is the best you can hope for, and good luck finding it at a reaonable price. That movie has become much beloved and sought after by collectors.

ok. while we're on this topic, i need help with a title too.

i think its one of those man out of time /place movies. this dude steps into an elevator in some hotel lobby. and having never been in one before, he sees one guy press one button to a floor. so he looks at the buttons wide eyed and proceeds to press them all one by one. what was so funny about it was how sincere the guy was the whole time. i laughed a great deal.

any ideas?

i think its fairly recent.
but i could be off on that

you MUST help me

sadly, sometimes the stuff we have loved as kids and not seen ever since, turns out to be not that great years later. i'm just warning you: you don't want to build up impossible expectations, that's all.

although, if cruikshank is right about the film being a collectors' item, then maybe you were right to like it as a kid.

It could be "Hiding Out" with Jon Cryer.

Plain Clothes starring Arliss Howard?

If I have the right movie, he shows up his first day as a total gangbanger but then changes to a more houseboat type look and went by the name Nick Springstein, right? He also read an e. e. cummings poem in his English class that ended up getting all the women excited.

Is this it?
