Trivia
A clip of this movie (the decapitation scene) was showed in the Norwegian TV-debate program "På Sparket" on 11 December 1980. This program was the start of the long and heated debate about so called video-nasties (videovold) in Norway. The movie was almost labeled as a video-nasty among with movies like "Texas chainsaw massacre", "The Exterminator", "Cannibal holocaust" etc. See more »Goofs
In the climactic battle scene, Japanese soldiers are shown firing the infamously misnamed Japanese "knee mortar" with the buttplate placed against their knee. This would've resulted in a broken leg. Allied soldiers mistakenly believed that this mortar was fired from the knee because of the curvature of the buttplate. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

A taste of hell, indeed! If hell is half as bad as this movie was, then I pray for any poor soul heading for Dante's Inferno!
In a nutshell, the script was non-existent, the plot, well there was actually no plot, and the fighting, well, you could tell this was a pathetic "B" Movie. There was no character development, even the slashing of a knife looked fake. The only reason I didn't turn this movie off after the first three minutes was in respect for the $ 1.07 I shelled out for this flop! The costumes looked, surprise surprise, like the seventies and not like WWII 1942. The movie lacked any dénouement though I will give it the credit of having a climax. All in all, as I said in my title, this would truly be a knee slapper on Mystery Science Theatre 3000!
