A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Blistering performances.

There was a wealth of fast-moving gritty exploitation films made during the 60's and 70's in Japan that no-one bothered to translate into English.This is one of them. Tetsuya Watari is a big game hunter who returns to Japan after a hunting trip in Alaska to find his younger sister has killed herself after being raped by a biker gang.It's revenge time. This Nikkatsu action movie is satisfyingly violent and has a great theme tune. I saw it on early evening Japanese tv,my wife translated.
