Tura Satana in Violent Planet
From the smash TURA! TURA! TURA! art exhibit at Chicago's Tattoo Factory Gallery comes this new Tura Satana fine art giclee print by Alex Wald. VIOLENT PLANET!
While filming on the Daiei Studio sets during "Suzette," Tura was introduced to
studio chief Masaichi Nagata. An enterprising connoisseur of international cinema, Mr. Nagata praised Tura on her then-recent US blockbuster, "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kil!" Over many cups of green tea, a plan was made. Teamed with director Kenji Misumi (Zatoichi series, Nemuri Kyoshiro series, DaiMajin series), Tura would power up her dynamic Varla character for a voyage to another world! Shooting under the working title "Varla's Outer Space Adventure" (Varla no Uchuu Dai Boken) began in July of 1968. As work progressed the title was changed to "Violent Planet" and tested Tura's endurance to the summer heat and on-set pyrotechnics. A climactic battle with Varla wielding only a shoto (short sword) against twin Guillon monsters was planned and possibly filmed. Unfortunately no footage has survived and we can only yearn for this lost jewel through the film's poster art.
Limited to only 40 prints! This is a fine art giclee print on 13" x 19" Ultra Premium Matte finish 100% cotton rag -- a fine archival quality paper guaranteed to be fade-resistant for 150 years. Email ultralex (at) sbcglobal (dot) net to order.
