The musician Haruo Chicada composed a soundtrack for which there was no film yet. And Macoto Tezka, the son of the "God of Manga," was looking for material for his debut.

THE LEGEND OF THE STARDUST BROTHERS was born: a dodgy music mogul brings together two would-be stars - punk rock rebel Kan and new wave singer Shingo - and turns them into the Stardust Brothers, a girl-friendly, synth-pop sensation in silver overalls.

Director Tezka was just a 22-year-old film student at the time, under a lot of pressure because of his name. His father Osamu Tezuka, was one of the most famous manga artists and creator of "Kimba, the White Lion" and "Astro Boy"

"THE LEGEND OF THE STARDUST BROTHERS is a loud, bizarre, over-the-top film that deserves cult status for good reasons." (asianmoviepulse)
