Viewing Notes

Finished the night with this blood and nudity draped ronin film from 1974. This is the second film of two, but for whatever reason this is the one Discotek decided to release. I hope they, or someone else, releases the first film as well. There’s an amazing amount of crazy bright red blood spraying everything and everyone in this amoral, nudity filled tale of debauchery, where the main character is an anti-hero because he just doesn’t care of believe in anything, which puts him slightly above everyone else who are motivated by greed and lechery.
