Average production values at best. Still somehow entertaining despite many drawbacks. Toshiro Mifune and David Nathan's charisma keeping this afloat. But truly the star of the show is the young actor, Kazuhito Ando, Mifune's son. For some reason watching this kept reminding me of "Space Mountain". For people of a certain age accomplished in suspension of disbelief this is sure to entertain. ( In other words, I enjoyed it).
