Viewing Notes

For some reason I thought I had seen this one from the Nikkatsu Noir collection but when I added to the Top Japanese Film list it appeared unlogged. Rectified that tonight. Great badguys versus badguys and another western in yakuza clothing. Fun build-up towards that finale that I could not have predicted. I wanna pitch Jo Shishido’s cheeks. Chitose Kobayashi is a delightful counterbalance to the machismo.

I like this movie a lot. Jo Shishido looks like a chipmunk with those cheeks though!

Yeah this is a great film. I love the ending! Was envious when Noah mentioned viewing this at FF a few years ago for a Nikkatsu retrospective. Damn, that would’ve been a great year to attend.

Oh wow, that would’ve been awesome! I’ve seen a number of those from the Criterion set and almost all of them are a lot of fun. I’d love to see some of them in a theater.
