    • Trivia
      This film's closing epilogue states: "After Nanking was occupied by the Japanese Army, massive burning, killing, raping and plundering continued for 6 weeks. Males, females, old, and young - none were spared. The atrocities were even worst than that shown in this film. This was not a war. It was an intentional, planned, and organized massacre."

    getting across the message that the Japanese are evil
    This is worth viewing and the DVD Special edition well worth buying for the 'extras', but there are one or two problems. I think the main difficulty is that the director has available to him awful, original footage of events and decides to mix these in with what for the main part can only be described as exploitative material. Nothing wrong with a good old exploitation movie of course but here the, probably cheaply done, massed bodies and brutal slayings look nothing compared to the original sickening footage. There are moments like the burning of the bodies at the river's edge that are undoubtedly powerful but for the most part we are only too aware that this is a one event movie spun out for the sole reason of showing the spilling of blood and guts and getting across the message that the Japanese are evil. Having said all that the DVD distributors have exceeded themselves and included notable items including a most illuminating 1944 US propaganda film, 'Why We Fight: The Battle Of China' - not to be missed.
