Ao fim de quase quarenta filmes como realizador em pouco mais de dez anos de trabalho, Seijun Suzuki foi despedido da Nikkatsu, lendária produtora japonesa. A causa, este "Koroshi no Rakuin", considerado pela crítica a sua obra prima, mas visto como incompreensível e inaceitável pelo presidente da companhia, Kyusaku Hori. O filme valeu-lhe um circense processo judicial pela luta dos direitos das suas obras. Ao fim de três anos de litígio, Suzuki, mais do que uma vitória merecida, conquistou o estatuto de cineasta de culto no Japão e um despertar das atenções a Ocidente. A década seguinte seria de exílio em trabalhos menores para a televisão.

An unofficial sequel to Million Dollar Match (1961) which also starred Koji Wada as a young energetic boxer. This story deals more with betting action surrounding a boxing match, concentrating mostly on the high-powered Yakuza gambling dens.

One of Sayuri Yoshinaga's first leading roles.

This rarely seen gem from master Suzuki casts teenage heartthrob Koji Wada as a young misfit who suddenly finds himself the unwitting pawn in an escalating family feud that ultimately leads to tragedy. Lean, mean, and stylish as always, this tale of youth-gone-wild is both vibrant and touching. Suzuki contrasts tranquil glimpses of traditional regional life with the emergence of the new rock 'n' roll youth culture and the greed and seething cynicism of encroaching Westernism. Also released under the title "Go To Hell, Hoodlums!", this is a melodrama as colorful, shocking, and exhilarating as one would come to expect from Japan's master filmmaker.
