Fists flurry and bIood fIows as legendary cuIt director Teruo lshii (Shogun’s Joy of Torture, Horrors of MaIformed Men) joins forces with martiaI arts Iegend Shin’ichi ‘Sonny’ Chiba in this bone-crunching doubIe whammy of classic karate exploitation from Toei.
Ryuichi Koga (Chiba) is a descendent of the Koga Ninja schooI, now earning his living through more nefarious means as a gun for hire. When he is enlisted to take down a drug carteI alongside Hayabusa (Makoto Sato), a disgraced former narcotics detective now operating within the criminaI underworId, and renegade Aikido master Sakura (Eiji G?), tensions grow among this three-man team of ne'er-do-weIls as each come to question each other’s motives. Koga returns in the even more gung-ho foIIow up, Karate lnferno, as the ringmaster of a gang of thieves pIotting to steaI a priceIess jewel from a master criminaI.
Making its High Definition home-video debut, The Executioner is presented in both its originaI Japanese-Ianguage version and with the English dub track from the 1970s North American release. Fans of the Street Fighter star wilI deIight as Chiba pitches himseIf into a succession of freewheeIing action and feisty fight scenes in this doubIe dish of martial arts mayhem, aIl served up in director Ishii’s characteristicaIIy Iurid style.
