Naschy's wolf makeup—rubber-faced glory that rules.

Director
Paul Naschy
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Naschy personally financed part of the Japan shoot after Spanish producers pulled out, making this his most expensive Daninsky film.
The film's Orientalist gaze is pure 80s Euro-exploitation—actual Japanese locations clashing with Spanish actors in yellowface-adjacent casting and ninja fever dreams.
