This film was born from the fallout of Star Wars and isn't too bad of a Japanese sci-fi film directed by Kinji Fukasaku, who also helmed The Green Slime.
The leader of a race of people who are being slowly killed by the vicious people of the Gavanas Empire send his beautiful granddaughter to find eight legendary warriors who will help them win their freedom.
The outer space battle are very well done of course and the cast includes Sonny Chiba and Vic Morrow. The only thing wrong with this film is that it runs about 20 minutes too long, and the comedy in the film is pretty bad. I love fantasy films like this however and want to let you know that this film needs to be seen and now it can in a beautiful transfer from Shout. Recommended!!
