Plot[]

A young boy is protecting a Hindu temple in Thailand when robbers arrive, stealing goods and shoot him in the face. The Mother of Ultra fuses him with the monkey god Hanuman. The Ultra Brothers, Zoffy, Ultraman, Ultraseven, Ultraman Jack, Ultraman Ace and Ultraman Taro, team up with Hanuman to fight five evil monsters. They are Gomora (from Ultraman, Dustpan (originally from Mirrorman), Astromons, Tyrant and Dorobon (all from Ultraman Taro), which were accidentally awakened by a rocket test gone terribly wrong. Eventually, the seven heroes triumph over the monsters, and all return home.

Production[]

This film, along with Jumborg Ace & Giant, marked the only time Tsuburaya Productions and Chaiyo Productions officially worked together. Decades after this film was made, relations between the two companies have deteriorated, leading to the court battle over rights to the Ultraman characters (specifically the ones depicted in this film) and even Jumborg Ace, which was eventually won by Tsuburaya in 2008.

Further problems resulted from Chaiyo's use of Toei's Kamen Rider series in the production of a follow-up film, which was done without permission.

Nevertheless, the presence of this film cemented the Ultra Series' popularity in Thailand and in neighboring countries such as Malaysia, which continues to this day.

Release[]

In 1984, Chaiyo Productions re-edited the film and released it under the title Hanuman vs. 11 Ultraman (หนุมาน พบ 11 ยอด มนุษย์ -Hanuman pob Sibed Yodmanud) after being released in Thailand[2][3] the film was released in United States under the title Space Warriors 2000 (The Year of the Monkey Wrench).
