El enmascarado de la luna (1981): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 1981, El enmascarado de la luna is an acción and aventura film directed by Yukihiro Sawada, running about 94 minutes. “"A super hero on a super bike now on screen in a super live action."” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. The Moon Mask Rider is a tokusatsu movie produced by Purumie International/Herald Enterprises and distributed by Nippon Herald Pictures, was released theatrically on March 14, 1981. Considered Japan's answer to the American box-office fiasco, The Legend of the Lone Ranger (released the same year), this updated version of the Moonlight Mask legend bombed at the Japanese box-office. Daisuke Kuwahara (who, like Klinton Spilsbury , disappeared from doing films) plays George Owara (Moon Mask Rider's new alter-ego), and the rest of the cast made up of veteran action starlets: Sue Shihomi, Daijiro Harada and Takayuki Godai.

Who’s in it. El enmascarado de la luna stars Daisuke Kuwabara as Moon Mask Rider, Etsuko Shihomi as Ikuko, Daijirō Harada and Junichi Inoue, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.3/10, El enmascarado de la luna has proved divisive with audiences.
