South Korean location work is about all this anemic thriller has to recommend it. John Ireland stars as Flanaghan, an American tour guide working in Seoul, who finds himself caught up in the search for the famed Kuguru Sword, which purportedly will lend its owner wealth and power. Also after the relic: an unhealthy looking Victor Buono, who seems to spend most of the film squinting at the camera, and glamorous Anita Ekberg. The leads do their best, but the film is simply not very good, and it doesn't help that Video Warehouse's VHS release seems to have been mastered from a third or fourth generation bootleg; Northeast of Seoul is bathed in weak pastel shades of green and pink. The video box is also graced with a snap of Ireland that probably dates back 20 years prior to the production of this film, as well an an almost equally ancient picture of Ms. Ekberg. What, Victor Buono wasn't a big selling point for 1980s renters?
