Despite the grandiose title, this is a B grade quickie shot on the sly partly in Thailand and featuring few moments of excitement. The plot’s not much to go on. Lovable lead Richard Norton plays a Bushido-trained ex-Navy SEAL named Connors (he was in ‘Nam) who ends up in the far east after investigating the whereabouts of an ancient Japanese ceremonial sword. Connors is left wondering whether the trip was such a good idea when Japanese gangsters start hassling him and his team of guerrilla fighters. It’s watchable, but only just.
