Price:  $12.99
Description:
Kuruizaki sanda rodo – (aka: Street Fire) Sogo Ishii's nihilistic motorcycle madhouse that Asian Cult Cinema calls "the best bike-gang movie of them all, arguably the best in the world."
When the leader of the once-notorious biker gang of Tokyo falls in love with a barmaid and quickly loses his rebellious ideals, the rest of the gang feels betrayed. Especially the reputedly troubled kid Jin, who revolts against his former friend and encourages the other members to join him in forming an entirely new and much "meaner" gang.
The hostile attitude of the new gang causes the other gangs to declare war, and since Jin isn't nearly powerful enough to defend himself against the others, he needs to revert to the old leader for help. Add in a group of militaristic “Ultra-Righters,” and you have what amounts to a Japanese version of “Mad Max,” with a bit of “A Clockwork Orange”.
Originally shot on 16mm as a film school graduation project by the director, it was snapped up for circulation by Toei and restruck on 35mm.
