The Lost Samurai (1990)

directed by David L. Stanton
featuring Paul Williams, Gary Crosby, Patrick Macnee, Andrew Prine, Carrie Snodgress

This time the villains want to rule the world by controlling the weather. Paul Williams plays the obligatory crusading broadcast journalist who uncovers the conspiracy. Despite the seeming cut-and-dried nature of the story, Chill Factor is honeycombed with plot twists and surprises. Without giving away the identity of the good and bad guys, we note that the supporting cast includes Patrick Macnee, Andrew Prine, Carrie Snodgrass, and two Hollywood progeny, Patrick Wayne and Gary Crosby. Chill Factor compensates for its rock-bottom budget with a surfeit of thrills. Hal Erickson, Rovi Read Less
