Description:

Minagoroshi no kenju - (aka: Slaughter Gun, Massacre Gun, Pistol of Death) Three brothers take on the mob in this hard-boiled, doom-laden, little-seen gangster film.

Eldest brother Ryuichi Kuroda is a hitman for the Akazawa gang who, at the whim of his stern boss, is forced to eliminate a woman he loves. Existing doubts about remaining loyal to the gang turn to outrage when youngest brother and aspiring boxer Saburo is maimed in retaliation for trouncing the gang’s ringer in a training bout. And after his club is trashed by the gang, hothead middle brother Eiji is ready to go to war.

The trio begin to strong-arm boss Akazawa’s other businesses, but retaliation is swift, and Ryuichi finds himself on opposite sides of the fight from his buddy Shirasaka, who still works for the gang. One brother is kidnapped, another killed, and only one of the friends will survive when Kuroda and Shirasaka meet for a duel to the death on a lonely stretch of highway outside town.
