Story Synopsis:
"The House Of Bamboo" is an exciting story involving Eddie Spanier (Stack), a man who is hired to get the low down on Sandy Dawson (Ryan), an ex GI who has gone rogue. After the murder of her husband, a beautiful geisha girl (Yamaguchi) joins Spanier in his quest to put a stop to the reign of crime and terror Dawson is creating in the orient. (Tricia Spears)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced DVD exhibits a generally clean picture, though there is some minor dirt and artifacts inherent in the source element. Colors look a bit dated and slightly washed out, but hues are generally well balanced. Sharpness is adequate, but contrast seems a bit low. Minor flickering is noticed with regard to the brightness of the picture. Images can appear slightly smeared at times. There is little bothersome pixelization and rare cases of edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)
