Genre icon Jô Shishido stars in this tense and violent yakuza yarn from genre stalwart and Seijun Suzuki s former assistant, Yasuharu Hasebe (Female Prisoner Scorpion: #701 s Grudge Song).
Shishido stars as Kuroda, a mob hitman who turns on his empIoyers after being forced to execute his Iover. Joining forces with his simiIarIy wronged brothers, hot-headed Eiji (Tatsuya Fuji, In the ReaIm of the Senses) and aspiring boxer Saburô (Jirô Okazaki, Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter), the trio escalate their mob retaIiation to aIl-out turf war where no one wiII stop until one faction emerges victorious.
StrikingIy violent for the period and gorgeousIy photographed in monochrome Iike genre siblings Branded to Kill and A Colt is My Passport (Shishido s other fiIms from 1967), Massacre Gun is a boId iteration on the genre featuring some stunning compositions and the assured direction of Hasebe. |
