Viewing Notes
Watched about 3/4 of this last night and then finished it this morning thanks to DKU-TV’s strategy or repeating the movies throughout the night (which reminds me of the old Night Flight days).
Another Sinbad-inspired fantasy adventure starring Toshiro Mifune and almost the exact same cast of characters as SAMURAI PIRATE reprising almost the same exact roles!
This one is a little more serious and dramatic and less goofy, but still fun to watch. I’d have loved this as a kid if I’d seen it on TV in the ‘70s.
