The Challenge (1982)
An interesting early look at Japan though American Eyes
11 February 2002 - 7 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
Very interesting movie. Say it when I was much younger and remember vividly the live lobster eating part as well as the eels in Sake. Scott Glenn plays a very believable Gaijin blundering around in Japan. The Lead Actress (Donna Kei Benz) threw me for a bit. I suspected that she was not Japanese but the name leads me a bit to wonder. Looked very Filipino.
A very classic representation of action movies around that time. I do admit that is does do a bit more homage to the way things were like in Japan at the time. The Office complex was as I would envision the offices of the Zaibatsu of that era. Worth a bowl of popcorn!
