Guest wizard12220 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Does anyone know a Japanese-USA co production movie in the late 70's called "Proof Of the man" (Don't know the Japanese title). It starred George Kennedy and has a popular song "Mama do you remember?" sung by Joe Yamanaka. I know this is not a Samurai movie, but since a lot of Japanese movies experts are here, does anyone know about this movie and the availability of the DVD? Thanks alot. wizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sevenhooks Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Let us know if you come accross a DVD. Been looking for this myself. I have the pretty cool soundtrack by Yuji Ohno (who's most famous for his work on the classic anime Lupin III). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WalkOn Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 You read Japanese? I couldn't tell anything about the movie from the image I saw when I clicked on that link. FYI - There is a 2004 TV series of the same name that is available on DVD or VCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wizard12220 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I searched it based on the Japanese title you gave me and the director's name. It available at CDJapan. And yes, I also found the TV series, starred Yutaka Takenouchi. I think I can find the TV series easily here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
