The Yakuza Code Still Lives
Assistant Director
After spending eight years in prison for murder, Hiroshi leaves his yakuza family to start a new life as a labor racketeer.
The Rugby Star
Assistant Director
The success of Truck Yaro (1975-1979) initiated a whole load of movies that put "Yaro" in their title, including this semi-bonkers sports comedy/drama. Sonny Chiba's brother Jiro Chiba stars as a Rugby player whose team must find a way to beat the opponent. It's a standard storyline without any major surprises, but works surprisingly well. Training scenes are relatively nuts; much better than the actual matches actually, which tend to go on forever. There is no sex, nudity or graphic violence, making this a family friendly affair. Sonny Chiba appears for about 7 minutes during the last third as a truck driver who comes to Jiro's rescue.
Female Ninjas: In Bed with the Enemy
Assistant Director
Female ninjas nudity and sword-weilding action directed by Takayuki Miyagawa is bawdy and thrilling! The female ninjas are sent undercover (sometimes under bed covers) to investigate the disappearance of a gold chest.
