The Magic World of Watari (1970)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

"In the name of the struggle to aid his suffering people, he disregards every danger that threatens his very life...! He must battle the remnants of incredibly ferocious prehistoric beasts... But why? Can he truly slay a giant toad and a spider that has lived for thousands of years? Come witness for yourself the prowess of WATARI your beloved little hero!" - Theatrical Release Write Up. The first movie in the Taiwanese Watari film series. This is not Watari and the 7 Monsters, this is a separate movie all together, but it did release around the same time as 7 Monsters.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
