Our Ultra-friend, Wurotzman aka da Wu-man, from across the Causeway has just sent us this rather interesting Ultraman footage from “Ultraman: The Great Decisive Battle” dubbed in Bahasa Melayu.

In this movie, Ultraman King assembled the 11 Ultra Fighters (see picture above) at the SilverPlaza. Earth is under the treat of another Kaiju invasion and the Ultra fighters had to be dispatched to save the world from destruction.

This movie is produced in the same fashion as the Zoffy Movie (ウルトラマンZOFFY) and the Taro movie (ウルトラマン物語) - some original takes spliced together with archived footages. This 100mins movie was released in 1979, with Tetsuo Kinjyo (金城哲夫) as the producer. Tetuso Kinjyo, a native from Okinawa, is an important figure in Ultraman’s history and he is an indispensable creative director on Eiji Tsuburaya’s team.

This movie featured the ‘live’ appearance of Ultraman Jonias battling the live version of the animated kaiju, BEDORAN.

This movie also featured another original sequence of Ultraman the First battling Alien Baltan. Ultraman (note the Type C mask) fights Baltan (note the red beams instead of sparks that shoots from Baltan’s claws) in another re-match before a temple.

(Note: This is not the lost footage from Episode 2 whereby The First ripped a claw off Baltan when they were in the woods)
