Two very old men do battle do with each other with the use of fantastic hardware.
My favourite Japanese/American co-production ever made!
Those early scenes of Latitude Zero are very Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea-ish, in fact I almost felt like I discovered some long lost Irwin Allen production when recently viewing Latitude Zero for my first time!
The colourful lines given to Cotten and Romero are what stand out in my memory more than anything else. But the blinking light computer hardware and energetic musical score are stand outs. The land sets at the end are very impressive.
Please note, the later sections of the movie turn into this oddball horror show with a surgical operation like no other seen in the history of film. At one point I had to turn away from the screen.
The is a highly underrated movie and a nice mix of Japanese and American film making. For all fans of the 1966 Adam West Batman series as this is basically Romero doing The Joker without white make up.
