Legendary martial artist Sonny Chiba stars in this cult karate classic that's revered by Quentino Tarantino.

Overview
Takuma "Terry" Tsurugi (Sonny Chiba) becomes embroiled in a game of double and triple crosses involving both local and foreign mafia gangs when he's hired to kidnap the beautiful heiress daughter of a recently deceased oil tycoon. The first film to receive an X rating in the U.S. purely on account of its violence, Shigehiro Ozawa's cult karate thriller found a new audience after featuring in the opening, movie-theatre scene of True Romance (1993), scripted by ardent Chiba fan Quentin Tarantino.
