An evil Chinese leader named General Scorpio and supreme big boss Dr Frankenstein run a secret organization [guarded by various monsters] with the goal of world domination. They develop a deadly concoction from calcium and then harness the power of volcanic destruction to put their plan in motion. The Super Riders - with the help of martial artist Lilly Qian - try to stop the impending doom.
This is probably the granddaddy of explosion movies. Seems like something is getting blown up every five minutes as both the good guys and the bad guys constantly taunt the other side with death threats. The action is swift and wildly entertaining despite a total disregard for sense and/or continuity. It's obviously designed for kids [or stoned adults] who will be delighted by the eye-popping visuals. The movie originates from Taiwan [with segments lifted lifted from various Japanese films] by way of Germany. The soundtrack is German dubbed with English subtitles. Also see the notorious HANUMAN VS FIVE KAMEN RIDERS, the illegal movie from Thailand.
Super Rider 2 is played by martial artist Li Yi-Min (sometimes billed as Kang Li and Simon Lee) who starred in a fistful of 50+ kung fu films in the two decades between 1968-1988. He is probably best known for the Brave Archer series.
