Well, it has Sonny Chiba in it. And, umm, it has Sonny Chiba in it. Can I say anything else? It is a Japanese movie that seems to have been filmed in English, dubbed to Japanese, and then re-dubbed back to English for us Americans. The dialogue is totally inane, the monster effects are about as poor as they come short of Ed Wood, and the plot is dizzyingly stupid.
At first it seemed like it was going to be a rip of THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON but I just couldn't be that lucky.
This movie has the worst dialogue ever put to paper. I know, I know, Japanese movies dubbed in English are notoriously bad in this area but this when beats them all. It all seems as if it was written just to fit in the movie at the right place without any consideration as to it making a lick of sense.
Oh yeah, one more thing, Sonny Chiba was a pretty cool Kung Fu movie guy right? Well tell me why the $&!@ there is no Kung Fu in this movie, or heck, tell me why there isn't anything in this movie that utilizes Sonny's talents?
This one would have been better titled TERROR IN THE MOVIE STUDIO because it is a steaming pile of turd. If you know someone who thinks that WATERWORLD is the worst movie ever made steer them to this floater.
I watched this on MONSTERS HD and it was a pretty good print, maybe a bit better than standard dvd quality but a little soft. I don't recommend spending any money on it but if you must see it and can't wait Amazon has it for $12 (or even less used).
