The Last Reunion (1980)

The Last Reunion: Directed by Jay Wertz. With Cameron Mitchell, Leo Fong, Chanda Romero, Vic Silayan. 1945: the Philippines. Several members of a platoon of American soldiers not only kill a Japanese general, but also rape and murder the man’s wife. The couple’s son, Kimon, witnesses these ghastly events and vows revenge. Thirty-three years later the platoon get back together in Manila for a reunion. The adult Kimon also shows up to pick off the platoon members who are responsible for butchering his parents.

“Played on one drive-in in Seattle (with ads saying u0026quot;More action that Shogunu0026quot;), this is a pretty good movie. In 1944 in the Pacific, a group of American soldiers raided a Japanese fort killing all the soldiers and killing a little kidu0026#39;s dad and raping his mom (who they both speak terrible Japanese) before killing her. The boys hides and lives through the ordeal, only to become a successful businessman in 1976 (Played by Leo Fong). He is bend on revenge as he kills the soldiers one by one. (Philip Baker Hall has a great decapitation scene). Familar character actors Stack Pierce and Cameron Mitchell play the other soldiers (and later stars in other Fongu0026#39;s films). Not bad.”
