Cast edit

Critical appraisal edit

Stuart Galbraith IV judges this to be one of the weaker entries in the Otoko wa Tsurai yo series, but still recommended. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the film is that the co-star, Etsuko Shihomi, was the star of the Sister Street Fighter series. It was on the set of Tora-san's Bluebird Fantasy that she met Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, whom she married the following year.[4] The German-language site molodezhnaja gives Tora-san's Bluebird Fantasy three and a half out of five stars.[6]

Availability edit

Tora-san's Bluebird Fantasy was released theatrically on December 20, 1986.[7] In Japan, the film was released on videotape in 1988 and 1996, and in DVD format in 2005 and 2008.[8]
