Fuller does get in fast and furious. Under the shadow of Mount Fuji, an army train is intercepted and weapons stolen. Then Robert Stack arrives in Tokyo and immediately starts causing trouble, bringing him to the attention of crime boss Robert Ryan and friend's ex wife Shirley Tamaguchi.
Fuller and ace cinematographer Joe MacDonald use the Cinemascope frame well, pack the images with local colour and interesting compositions. Shoot-outs are violent and exciting, death of gang member by shooting in wooden tub memorable, as is rooftop finale over Tokyo.
Written by Harry Kleiner and Fuller, good music by Leigh Harline.
With Cameron Mitchell, Brad Dexter, Sessue Hayakawa, Biff Elliot, Harry Carey Jr., DeForest Kelly.
