The Six Million Dollar Man The Last Kamikaze (1974–1978) watch online HD

Steve Austin(Lee Majors) is assigned a most urgent task in recovering a new kind of nuclear warhead that has been lost on a South Pacific island after being illegally transported on a plane that crashed. To make things more challenging, Steve is knocked unconscious by an explosion caused by a trap left by a downed World War II Japanese kamikaze pilot(played by John Fujioka) who takes him prisoner, and is unwilling to believe the war ended thirty years ago with Japan's defeat and surrender. Rival forces also want the warhead, and so Steve must deal with all these threats in order to complete his mission, and be rescued by the naval forces led by Oscar Goldman(Richard Anderson). Better than usual episode is among the best, with an intelligent, grounded story with interesting characters, fine acting, and poignant conclusion. A highlight of the series.

"The Last Kamikaze" could've and should've been eight kinds of bad, but thanks to some really strong performances, particularly from guest star John Fujioka and Lee Majors, it manages to instead be a rather poignant look at honor, friendship and the haze of war. A war that was still fresh in the minds of a generation at the time this episode first aired.

I also really enjoyed the performance of Robert Ito, who has you guessing about his intentions right from the start without ever giving anything away.

With an interesting story, beautiful locations and a really moving ending, "The Last Kamikaze" is easily one of the best SMDM episodes I've seen.
