Sep 5, 2008 - Wow, I remember running off the school bus and upstairs to watch this on TV when my family lived in the Philippines. I'd pretty much given up on ever seeing it again. Thanks youtube and thanks 8dramaqueen.

Sep 5, 2008 - Hey Guppy Whisperere and Edwarfor your comments on this, I originally put this up a year ago thinking Shintaro was stupid wearing a washing basket over his head and the other ninja running with his pants showing and the trick camera shots wer funny! Everyone remembers too its cool *L*Cheers 8 dramaqueen

Sep 5, 2008 - Shintaro was the coolest samurai ever seen on Aussie TV. What were the guys in black called again - was it Kooga-ninjas? I seem to recall there were another set of ninjas on Shintaro's side, guys who dressed in white and got killed a lot. The best episode I remember was where the two sides went to war, with Shintaro leading the good guys. What a great show this was; nothing like it on TV these days, amirite?

Sep 5, 2008 - Don't you think Quentin Tarintino must have seen this show in preparation for making the first "Kill Bill" movie? Or do you think there was plenty of other Japanese material like this in movies etc. that Tarintino could have been inspired by?

8dramaqueen Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Hi Jstewart58,paulodeaco,scarletshade,fpbutch,thank you guys for your comments on the Shintaro clip. *S* It was a great zoom home tv show to watch after school for sure *L*Jstewart50, I have never seen Kill Bill but it is interesting about what you said about Tarintino being inspired by shintaro *S* I put this clip up because, well I originally am a Champions Fan, and we spoke of this Show Shintaro, and I specifically discussed how great the near no at all special effects they had in it *L*

8dramaqueen Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Also how they rewound the film so the ninjas could jump out of trees and use star knives LOL.The reason why I put this clipup is too, show case how Shintaro could walk around with a washing bssket on top of his head and couldnt see barely where he was going and the guy at the end running off with his costume caught up his pants LMOA The Dub in voices it was just a classic like the Phantom Agents! LMOA

oinkysqueak Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - That show came out about 40yrs ago everyone must of seen it by now :)

oinkysqueak Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - I used to watch this show when I was about 10yrs old. It was funny. Then there was a even more dumb TV show called "Phantom Agents" They used to say all the time "Always use pistol, last resort" hahahaha :)

8dramaqueen Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Hi Oinky squeakI love that even dumber TV show the Phantom Agents I was bought up on that wonderfull Japanase Trash and Godzilla movies! 8Dramaqueen

8dramaqueen Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - What great tv viewing it would be if they bought back Division 4 and the Phantom Agents and B Grade Japanese horror films from the 60s, all we have now is SBS! Bah Humbug !LMOA8dramaqueen

oinkysqueak Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Do you remember one Japanese show called "Starman" that took the cake for stupidness hahahaha. Think channel seven used to put them on at midday, Saturdays.Glad to find you here. Your making me laugh :)

jstewart58 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - I don't know. I've lived in the U.S. for 40 years, and I don't believe it was ever shown here. I was going to order it on DVD from Australia, but I was never sure if Australian DVDs would play on U.S. DVD players.

oinkysqueak Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Yes it will play on any DVD. Its the same format world wide I'm pretty sure?? Umm I think hahaha

8dramaqueen Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Hi oiknysqueak and jstewart58Oinkysqueak I have never heard of the showSharman, and jstewart what show on DVD were you referrng to? Can I say this much, Australian DVDS were PAL and still are,I think they are called region 4 now, and they may not work on US DVD players because the USA system is NTSC and is region 2 I think which is incompatable with Pal System DVDS,region 4 if you want to order from Australia a DVD you need a region free DVD player,they are comparitavely cheap now days

AuslanderVY Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Yes I remember STARMAN, used to be on fairly late on a saturday morning. Also there was another version of the samurai. It's opening was on a beach with shintaro fighting ninja's. Different bloke to this one though.

Sep 5, 2008 - I remember watching the 'Samuri' like it was yesterday.I still (here goes my age) have some of the 'Samuri' cards sold with bubblegum from the milk bar.If they would bring back the B Grades I'd stay up all night to watch them, Godzilla vs Mothra etc. Someone may be able to help me here? I seem to remember a Japanese super hero (like Superman) and I think his name was Mysterio but I can't be sure. Anybody know?Thanks for the posting friend..much appreciated!

Garidoshi Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - The Japanes Superhero you remember is Star Man. He was sent to earth in times of need by starfish like creatures and he had a cool wrist watch with a map of the world on it which detected radiation and danger. So bad it was great! Deadly Ernest and Creature Feature were staples in my childhood too. I saw Shintaro at the Sydney Stadium in '67. It was magic.Star man bits are able to be seen on you TubeGood luck
