This film, made in 1978, is great fun, (although I actually prefer the show based on it). This was the most expensive film that had ever been made in Japan at the time. I recommend this film if you are a fan of space opera films, and despite the shade thrown on the special effects at the time, considering the technology at the time, I found it enjoyable and well done!

The songs are the Overture, and Melancholy Sailing – both from the musical The Big Adventure of the Fantastic Pirates. I have been trying to choose films where I can use the songs from this musical!

  1. I watch this movie before. And let me tell you something imagine him he was 17 18 at the time. But I thought he looked much younger than that 💞💞💞💞

  2. Love this. RIP Vic Morrow 😢. Sanada-san was so young and adorable
    This first film I saw him was ' Sunshine '. He has been in space several times 😂

  3. 私が初めて真田さんを見たのが、この映画でした。映画館で見たのですが、真田さんが将来、必ずハリウッドに行くと感じたのです。
    どうして、そう思ったのか解りませんが、外国人俳優さんと並んでも見劣りしない存在感でしょうかね。
