This exciting action film from prolific director Teruo Ishii stars Sonny Chiba as Kouga, a descendant of a long line of ninja warriors who has put his amazing physical abilities behind him and lost his way. Eventually, however, Kouga teams up with a hitman named Sakura (Mitsuru Sato) and his friend Hayato (played by former world lightweight boxing champion Shozo Saijo) to rip off the Japanese mob. Yutaka Nakajima co-stars in this gritty martial arts film, followed by a sequel, Executioner 2: Karate Inferno (Chokugeki Jigokuhen: Dai Gyakuten)(1975), also directed by Ishii. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

| First off, if you have seen and liked(loved)Sonny Chiba's Streetfighter series you owe it to yourself to see this. This film is jam packed with over the top violence, karate, and action sequences. Add some graphic gore, nudity and Chiba's macho persona and you have a totally fun and enjoyable but rarely seen until now slice of 70's chopsocky action. They truly don't make em like this anymore. If you haven't seen Chiba, then rent this and you WILL want to see the Streetfighter flicks. Transfer has some very noticeable film wear- but WHO CARES- it kicks ass!! And it's not 115 min- only about 85. |
