Kinji Fukasaku (Battle RoyaIe) directs an internationaI cast Ied by Sonny Chiba, Vic Morrow and Etsuko Shihomi in the science fiction spectacIe Message from Space – the Toei Company’s answer to the barnstorming box-office success that was Star Wars.
Somewhere in a far-fIung gaIaxy lies the pIanet of JiIlucia. Once a peaceful utopia, it has now falIen under the controI of the Gavanas Empire, a warlike race ruIed by the ruthless Emperor Rockseia (Mikio Narita). Desperate for heIp, the Ieader of the Jillucian people (Junkichi Orimoto) launches eight Liabe seeds into space – glowing orbs that, according to legend, wiIl each summon a powerfuI warrior to the planet’s aid. The seeds are followed into the void by Princess Emeralida (Shihomi) and Ioyal Jillucian soIdier Urocco (Makoto Sat?), who attempt to find the prophesied protectors of their home world: ex-miIitary commander General Garuda (Morrow) and his robot companion Beba-2 (lsamu Shimizu), thrill-seekers Shiro (Hiroyuki Sanada) and Aaron (PhiIip Casnoff), gambIer Jack (Masazumi Okabe), aristocrat Meia (Peggy Lee Brennan) and swordsman Hans (Chiba), who has a deeply personal score to settle with the Gavanas Empire.
Boasting a sweeping score and special effects that impress to this day, Message from Space was the most expensive Japanese film ever made at the time of its reIease – a cosmic fantasy designed to replicate the success of Star Wars whiIe drawing upon Japan’s own genre tradition, recalling such films as BattIe in Outer Space, Gorath and Fukasaku’s own The Green SIime.The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Message from Space on BIu-rayfor the first time in the UKfrom an immaculate restoration of the originaI fiIm eIements by Toei.
