The film was written and shot during the Allied Powers' Occupation of Japan and was subject to the Occupation's official censorship requirements.

tbh this is an "okay" but not really great film. The film's about the conflict between a corrupt Carribean governor and a ship of pirates. It's mostly interesting because James Earl Jones (RIP) is in it.

He must have been around 44 when this was filmed. He'd been winning awards on Broadway and had been getting movie roles here and there. He would have been doing the voice of Darth Vader around the time this came out and then in the 80s and 90s his career really took off.

In this movie he plays a supporting role, but gets a decent amount of screen time. Anyway, the movie bombed so it's usually forgotten. I just thought of it because of his passing -- he seems to be having a good time in the movie, or maybe he was just acting.

(another James Earl Jones role posted previously is in: Conan the Barbarian: https://lemm.ee/post/36207082)

A couple of lovable, degenerate Juggalos must sojourn through America's hellish underbelly to The Gathering of the Juggalos, the one place on earth they feel accepted.

It's an independent movie, but fairly well-shot, -written, and -acted, and surprisingly heartwarming. More cult than The Crow, more irreverent than Wolverine and Deadpool. The main characters are shifty lowlifes, but they have their own code and their own standards, and the film laughs with them not at them. Hey you said you were sick of franchises, right?

It's the 80s in England and there's this kid who's getting picked on at at school, and he's walking home and he makes some friends. Nice guys, but they all shave their heads. It's cool though, they listen to Toots & the Maytals and other first-generation Jamaican ska and are pretty down-to-earth people. Pretty soon the kid's hanging out in good-times montages.

Everything's going great, but then their old pal gets out of prison. Next thing you know, things are getting kind of tense, and people are making political speeches and going on racist rants and having to pick sides. In fact, this is a coming-of-age film for the kid, and there's also a theme on the Falklands War, which comes to an end just as the film reaches its conclusion.

BONUS FILM

Made in Britain (1982)

A UK made-for-TV film, Tim Roth's first role, and he nails it, playing a crazed racist skinhead in the 80s. It's amazing what a modest budget will get you if you have quality actors and a strong script. Definitely one you want to watch without advertisements.
