VERY rare sci-fi from the 60s, hardly ever seen

This movie was BURIED deliberately!
Think about it: American & Russian forces team up to recover a UFO on Chinese territory.
This was released in 1968, a terrible year in U.S. history for political & social tension.

EXCELLENT movie, great special effects for the time & after it
was released in theaters it was practically never heard of again
until Internet influence became explosively popular years later.


POSSIBLY a combination of circumstances and the arrangement of
political "powers that be" made this good movie dwindle into obscurity.

The Bamboo Saucer (1968)




Also: having "bamboo" in the title probably didn't help matters sales-wise either.
Bamboo is not a strong-selling term, especially for sci-fi.
If anything, bamboo probably reminded people of Gilligan's Island.



This movie got great reviews on IMDB
