80's Super Hero Movie (VHS)

[nitrouz]

I remember seeing a superhero movie when I was younger. The opening scene was in space and a guy was spinning around in a white space ship becoming a superhero. He is then flying through space one arm extended in front and he is wearing I believe a red and blue shinny suit..

From memory he has a mustache when he is not in costume, there was a tractor scene and he used to transform with a watch.

Any help would be gladly welcome, I have been trying to remember this one for years!

Thanks in advance

Do you have an idea as to where this was made?  For instance, was it something related to Ultraman?

Guy spinning around in a white spaceship while he transforms into a superhero using a watch. Sounds like Battle of the Planets. Was it live action or animated?

The transformation is just after 5:00 in this clip. Ring a bell?

That would be a Spanish flick called SUPERSONIC MAN.
The entire movie is on youtube, but it's not the English dubbed version.
It's available on a DVD double feature with WAR OF THE ROBOTS.

Was it an Ultraman movie? The franchise has been around for close to 50 years.
