Viewing Notes
Picked up this Sonny Chiba Blu-ray from Amazon featuring Killing Machine (1975) and hot damn is this a great film! Noribumi Suzuki’s Shôrinji kenpô possesses all the elements I treasure in a good film; excellent lead, good story, great sequences. That’s obvious but this film hits all of these perfectly. Love it!
