The Last Kamikaze (The Six Million Dollar Man)
The Last Kamikaze S2.E14
An episode of The Six Million Dollar Man that aired Jan 19, 1975.
A plane carrying a new kind of atomic warhead goes down on a remote South Pacific island, and the prototype seems to have fallen into the hands of a Japanese soldier who's has possibly been surviving on the island since WWII, convinced the war is still going on.
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).
Trivia
