Sonny Chiba - Collection Vol. 2

Three films. G.I. Samurai (1979) - Explores the intriguing premise of 'who would win in a battle between Samurai warriors with swords and military trained soldiers with tanks?'. Sonny Chiba plays a military commander whose squadron are mysteriously transported through space and time to the 16th Century. Boasting some startlingly brutal battle scenes in which we see decapitations, unarmed samurais taking down tanks and soldiers machine gunning samurai warriors on horseback. The Bullet Train (1975) - A group of terrorist bombers announce that they have placed speed-triggered bombs aboard a Japanese bullet train, which will explode if the train drops below a certain speed. Sonny Chiba plays the train operator who must find and disable the device in time. (The film pre-dates Speed by almost two decades) Golgo 13 (1977) - Based on a best-selling Japanese manga, Sonny Chiba stars as a ruthless hitman who must travel to Hong Kong to assassinate a drug lord. Chiba's character Golgo 13 is a cigar smoking, slick dressing hardman who kills his targets with a single shot between the eyes and this film is a must for fans of 70's exploitation movies.
