Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is actually a chopped-and-screwed American dub of Ultraman Taro footage, a practice so common in the 80s it spawned an entire genre of Frankenstein anime.
Director Tom Wyner also voiced half the cast, including the narrator who never shuts up—possibly because they couldn't afford anyone else.
