Viewing Notes

For October DKUTV is doing a couple of Keita Amemiya nights. Caught the rebroadcast of this when I got home from Ron’s. Really, really, really wish Arrow would put out these two films on Blu. There must be a reason why we haven’t gotten them.

Maybe I forgot but this was Yuko Moriyama’s first movie role. I read an interview with her indicating that Amemiya saw her in a commercial and declared that she was perfect for this role and begged her to sign on even tho she had no interest in becoming an action actor. I will agree that she is perfect.
