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:
“The great question which in all ages has disturbed mankind, and brought on them the greatest part of those mischiefs which have ruined cities, depopulated countries, and disordered the peace of the world, has been, not whether there be power in the world, nor whence it came, but who should have it.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“It’s men like you that make it difficult for people to understand one another.”
—Richard Fielding, and Lee Sholem. Superman (George Reeves)
