Fourteen of these prison ships, also called "hell ships" were sunk by submarines or by air attacks. Most of these ships also carried military cargoes and Japanese troops and were not marked as carrying Allied POWs or captured civilians - thousands of whom lost their lives from 1942 to 1945 aboard these vessels.

When Osikawa is tied to a chair, the ropes are so obviously loose that he could easily have wriggled out of them when no one was looking.

World War 2: The Dirty Tricks Department

For a very short movie, "Prison Ship", is surprisingly entertaining and tragically oh so believable.

The premise of the movie is based on fact. Japanese ships transporting prisoners-of-war during World War 2 did indeed offer themselves up as decoy targets, hoping to draw the US submarines away from their desired cargo ships and warships.

From that point the movie becomes a feel good exercise for an American audience, that by 1945 had cultivated a deep loathing for their enemy, and wished to see their own servicemen triumph against any and all impossible odds.

By 1945 Richard Loo was able to play his role blindfolded. Between late 1941 through to 1945 he was in 34 movies, invariably as the bad guy. In this movie Loo was the standout, the rest of the cast were merely competent.

If you have a spare hour, have a look, it's worthwhile for a fan of the genre.
