Plot
[edit]In the spring of 1945, Japan established a secret base, Unit 731 in Manchuria,
where many innocent Chinese, Korean and Mongolian people were killed in grotesque experiments.
An idealistic young doctor , Morishima, is horrified by the experiments being performed in the camp
and when his fiancée arrives disguised as a Chinese prisoner he sets out to liberate the camp.[1]
Production
[edit]Godfrey Ho in a interview said the following
"That movie was really aimed at the Korean market, where they still have a strong feeling about Japanese war crimes, then the Chinese started to take an interest so we decided to make it with Chinese producers. I flew to Beijing and we worked at the film studios there for three or four months. They're really still working in the Russian system there, it's not very up to date. I didn't take anyone with me except for the main actors, so I had to rely on the Chinese technicians, who were limited by the state of the industry over there. So when we came to do a scene with a dead body,they said we can't do it as a prosthetic, we don't have the technique or the materials, so they took me to the local hospital and we talked to the doctor, and he agreed to let us film him while he did an autopsy".

Reception
[edit]Reviews ranged from beautiful camera work to pointless sequel
Richard Taylor of Mortado stated "Think of how many times these statements have been made “sequel, not as good as the original” or “sequel can’t live up to the original” and many more. Well, this sequel to Men Behind The Sun is another sequel which falls into this category."[2]
