Oh hi,

This week on FilmSack we figure WE ONLY LIVE once … maybe TWICE when we sneak over to HBO Ma… ahhh…Amazon Prime?.. Hello old friend where have you been hiding? Behind that empty cargo box watching this action spy thriller set in Japan from 1967 and waiting for your chance to shine for the big boss? KARATE CHOP. Oh no! You hit my snooze button. Now tie me up and tell me what naughty things you are going to do to me. SAFE WORD! I’M SAYING THE SAFE WORD! I am hairy, like bird’s nest!?

Anywho, Welcome to my 1960s era gov’t job. I hope you enjoyed the private train ride here to our underground Spy Spa. “Rule number one …. never do anything for yourself when someone else can do it for you … and hey hey…looky here…we got us some half naked and half willing ladies on loan from Toho Studios who I hope are getting paid a lot more than scale to touch our ying-yang of body types. Of course….I guess they are probably used to pointing and screaming at a guy in a Godzilla suit so … just another day at the office for these ladies…am I right…. And rule number two – in Japan, men always come first, women come second and I’m sure that last statement will probably age like fine room temperature Sake.

Randy, We’ve been training all week to be ninjas…good news! that is exactly how long it takes…and as you may recall Vanilla Ice once said in a Turtles movie. Go Ninja .. Go Ninja .. Go. Kissy Suzuki!..ouch…I burnt my lips.

In Japan, he’s aided by Tiger Tanaka (Tetsuro Tamba) and the beautiful Aki (Akiko Wakabayashi), who help him uncover a sinister global conspiracy.
