A riotous, bloody, all-action historical epic set in early 20th Century Tokyo. Akira Kobayashi (Kanto Wanderer) stars as a miner who leads a rebellion against a vicious tyrant, played with villainous relish by Suzuki regular Tamio Kawaji. Add to this a heady mix of violence, gang fights, blackmail, bribery, assassinations, trade unionism, a tattooed bandit-geisha femme fatale, yakuzas, adultery, sword fights, gun fights, treachery, revenge and unrequited love. Superb settings, stunning design and extraordinary camera work make this a jaw-dropping adventure that proves fertile ground for Suzuki's cinematic obsessions.
