In the wake of the recent tsunami and series of earthquakes in Japan, this movie I had seen as a child came to mind. I remember the disaster scenes being pretty horrific (although this was the pre-CGI era). I also remembered the United Nations or some body akin to it deciding on the distribution of the Japanese population to various nations who agree to receive a number of refugees. With the earthquakes continuing and the possibility of another if not several tidal waves occurring, one hopes this movie doesn't become a reality for Japan. I've learned from reading the other reviews that there is a shorter hacked version of this movie. I'm trying to get a copy of the full length original movie. I think the one I saw was the original although couldn't swear to it. If anyone knows where it's available, whether DVD or VHS please let me know. dreaddy2@hotmail.com

I was but a child when this film came out. AT the time so-called Spaghetti westerns were the in thing. My closest friend and I went to see another double feature when this movie trailer came on. The sequence was great but what was most memorable was the movie score. AT the time I was not familiar with the name Ennio Morricone. It's funny how that music alone sold the movie to us; just as Morricone's music carried Good, Bad, and the Ugly, and "Once Upon a Time in the West." We did go to see Burn when it did arrive but I can't remember much of it; being 10 years old, following a political movie wasn't within my grasp then. I remember getting away from home at the risk of a sound spanking to go see "Burn." I'm now seeking to own the DVD if it's out.

I saw this movie when I was a teenager and always thought there was going to be a part Two. That never happened. I like movies with plots that are unpredictable and this movie is just that. It takes you in so many directions and has so many surprises. While you do hope things straighten out for the hero you never know what will happen next. It is very believable and the actors (none of whom I remember) are excellent. This is a movie I've longed to see again but never got the opportunity. Hope the Canadians see it fit to commit this excellent move to video. This is one of the thrillers that, once you see it, you'd never forget it. It's worth seeing and I intend owning it.
