  I saw this movie fifty years ago on a Sunday afternoon in November of 1973 at the Uptown Theater in Chicago. It was part of a double feature, playing  along with The Sacred Knives Of Vengeance. As a teenager, I was obsessed with kung fu movies. I later got into trouble when I returned home for having snuck off to the movies without telling my mother and missing family dinner. I saw the movie with two of my classmates, who would be killed in a freak car accident one year later in November of 1974, that was the last time I ever saw Michael Jimenez and Adrian. We were all thirteen years of age, just young lads. Its hard to believe that the two of them have been dead almost fifty years, both being deprived of the opportunity to grow into adults. I walked by the Uptown theater two weeks ago and  I thought about that day nearly fifty years ago.

  I wonder if someone else has noticed how solid the plot of this movie was put together.  Not one unnecessary scene, every character has a story and a personal reason for doing whatever they do.  The journey of the hero years before Star Wars.
