GO FORWARD! 1968
JPN. GS film. 1960s Japanese Group Sounds band, the Spiders star in this rare "Help" inspired rock n roll spy movie! If you like screams, shouts, whoops and hollers in your 1960s jangle rock n roll, this movie is for you! I don't understand Japanese, but here's a sample of what's going on: first there's hidden diamonds and a mysterious girl with a big nose. Then, a sinister looking man in dark sunglasses sips milk from a straw—we see him regularly. He likes milk. There's an airport briefcase mix-up. Lots of cool 60s mod op-art rooms and sitar music. Magical Mystery Tour-type "love child" fashions! The Spiders watch TV and see a cool garage beat group. During rehearsals for their big TV appearance, a dead guy falls out a speaker cabinet! The music is excellent with sounds like the Monkees, Count V, Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Kinks and the Association! Very cool Spiders performance scenes with groovy stage sets. Songs include "Here Come Spiders," "Ban Ban" and many others. "Are we not crazy cats? No, we are Spiders!" [In Japanese. No Subtitles.] Go Forward! Bonus Selection: Performance footage of "The Tigers" from their 1968 movie!
