Step into the whirlwind of Dragon Superman Trilogy, where fantasy meets reality in a heroic cult cinema saga!

In the shadowy corners of Hong Kong, an explosive confrontation between the nefarious Masked Cosmic Gang and Dragon Superman unfolds over the fate of a city. Journalist by day and vigilante by night, San Lin dives into a whirlwind of danger, mystery, and heroic deeds to thwart the gang’s sinister plans. From daring rescues of blind singer Li-fen to battling phantom thieves in the wilderness, his quest reveals a deep-seated conspiracy involving human experiments and ancient treasures. He faces off against formidable foes, uncovering connections to a magic troupe with secrets of invulnerability and a hidden underworld. With every child and innocent’s life at stake, the battle between light and darkness rages, setting the stage for an epic saga where only the true heart of a hero can prevail.
Dragon Superman Trilogy, directed by Japanese filmmaker KOBAYASHI Satoru and featuring a local crew including Taiwanese filmmaker SHAO Lo-hui, is a Taiwanese-language film based on the 1960 Japanese film “Maboroshi Tantei: Chiteijin Shûrai”. This trilogy holds significance as it marks the inception of Taiwan’s tokusatsu productions. After Dragon Superman’s release in February 1968, it became a blockbuster phenomenon. This prompted the original team to swiftly produce two sequels, Moonlight Superman and Skyfly Superman scheduled for release in the middle and end of the same year respectively. The rapid production of sequels, driven by the enthusiastic market response, exemplified the thriving Taiwanese-language film market of that time. Prepare for an epic journey through the trilogy that redefined a genre and captivated a generation!
