Viewing Notes

If that Shout Factory BD dropped to $20 I’d buy it. Wish Arrow would release this.

Solid cast. Love that Sonny Chiba has a small yet nice role here as one of the yakuza bosses.

Great to see Shinjuku during this period. Some of it still looks the same. There’s one intersection that looks nearly identical as it does now.
