Locke the Superman (超人ロック, Chōjin Rokku?) is a manga series by Yuki Hijiri which was later adapted into a movie and three OVA releases. The movie was given an obscure video release in the United States by Celebrity Home Entertainment as Locke the Superpower. Both it and the OVAs were later licensed and released by Central Park Media under the original name. Ten volumes were published in Poland under the tile Locke Superczłowiek.
As of 2012, Discotek have licensed the original Locke the Superman movie from 1984 and will be released on November 6. This is the first ever DVD release in the US. It will be from the remastered, anamorphic telecline print used for the Japanese DVD release. Discotek will provide both the Japanese audio with English subtitles and the original English dub from the 80's, which was previously released on VHS.
Famous quotes containing the words locke and/or superman:
“Earthly minds, like mud walls, resist the strongest batteries: and though, perhaps, sometimes the force of a clear argument may make some impression, yet they nevertheless stand firm, and keep out the enemy, truth, that would captivate or disturb them. Tell a man passionately in love, that he is jilted; bring a score of witnesses of the falsehood of his mistress, it is ten to one but three kind words of hers shall invalidate all their testimonies.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“The superman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: the superman is to be the meaning of the earth! I beseech you, my brothers, be true to the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes! They are poisoners, whether they know it or not.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
