Customer Reviews

Seven passengers set sail that day, for a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour

This animal resembles a particular TV program that came on one year later (1964). "Toho Trio" Inoshiro Honda (director, also director of Gojira) was ahead of his time. The hat on Etsurô Yoshida, the Writer, looks a lot like the hat on Gilligan. If you look closely, you will see Thurston Howell III, Professor Roy Hinkley, and the others. An obscure collection of characters is stranded on what appears to be an abandoned island. There, they have a fungal encounter of the third kind. Do you think they will eventually succumb to tempting mushrooms? What else will they find edible before it is over? Even though the movie is dubbed in English, the DVD has English subtitles that do not match the dialogue. Extras: Akira Kubo Commentary (J-a-p-a-n-e-s-e with English subtitles), Teruyoshi Nakano Interview, Soken word from Matango writer Masami Fukushima. Are Magic Mushrooms from J-a-p-a-n called Shiitake? La-la-la-la... la-la. 2 of 5 stars
