there be once a time when it could at least be consider understandable for people to be catch up in the myth of the orient . few people have ever be and the people who have be and bring back wondrous thing such a spice and pottery back to their fellow european barbarian . those day be long since go and yet some people feel compel to keep the exotic asia myth alive in film and literature and this film be one such example . the plot be silly and largely unexplained but that do not matter . the pacing be painfully slow but that do not matter . the acting be wooden at best and the character all mysteriously speak english but that do not matter either . the opening scene with the skinny asian woman naked in the hot spring turn to look coyly at the camera should be enough to tell that the only thing the filmmaker care about be to give audience some steamy scene and another tale of the exotic seductiveness of asia . even if that be your thing and i recommend that you skip this movie for good adventure elsewhere .
