Sonny Chiba makes an unforgettable debut in this ultraviolent martial arts wonder. Chiba plays Terry Tsuguri, who, after springing a killer from prison, realises that the killer is out to get him. Many of the fight scenes may be too extreme for many viewers, but this film is still one to see time and time again. Note: part of this film is featured in my favourite motion picture, True Romance.
Not rated; contains strong and gory martial arts fighting sequences.
