Feat. Sonny Chiba

Aroview: Career-making martial arts outing for Japanese icon Sonny Chiba, mugging his heart out as a brutal enforcer who turns the tables on his Yakuza-Mafia employers.

Jammed to the gunnels with fight scenes, which broke new ground with their gruesome, bone-crunching intensity, this also earned the distinction of being the first ever X-rated film released in the USA. A personal favourite of Quentin Tarantino.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) Sonny Chiba shows off his martial arts intensity in this overacted and bone-crackingly violent display that has him go animal on the whole Yakuza. You will find yourself laughing and squirming in your seat. ~Tom H
