Radiance Films Tabs Feb. 27 As The Release Date For A Blu-ray Limited Edition Of Director Yasuharu Hasebe's Black Tight Killers

Radiance Films, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has selected Feb. 27 as the street date for a Blu-ray Limited Edition of director Yasuharu Hasebe’s outrageous action flick, Black Tight Killers.

It’s a wild ride from start to finish as Daisuke Hondo (Akira Kobayashi — Tokyo Mighty Guy, Father of the Kamikaze, Battles Without Honor and Humanity, etc.) has just finished an assignment in Vietnam as a photojournalist  when he hooks with flight attendant Yoriko Sawanouchi (Chieko Matsubara — Tokyo Drifter, Cruel Gun Story, My Train Diary, Dolls, A Long Goodbye, etc.).   A seemingly innocent liaison quickly goes off the rails when Yoriko is kidnapped by a gang of all-female ninjas whose weapon of choice (for this first round of encounters) are “flying discs” in the form of vinyl 45 rpm records!!!

After that the only thing missing in Hasebe’s action opus are the Coyote and the Roadrunner and a cameo appearance from 007.   Black Tight Killers is an over-the-top gang versus gang versus gang versus female ninja killers who are all on the same mission … find the World War II stash of gold that Yoriko’s father may have hidden.  

“Hondo” is all-in with his attempts to rescue the fair maiden without exactly knowing what the hell is happening!   That’s the fun of it.   To find out if he is successful, be sure to catch this newly minted Blu-ray edition of Hasebe’s Black Tight Killers on Feb. 27.

Bonus nuggets include commentary by film critic, author and Japanese cinema specialist Jasper Sharp (“The Midnight Eye Guide to New Japanese Film,” “Behind the Pink Curtain,” “The Historical Dictionary of Japanese Film”) and a vintage video session with filmmaker Yasuharu Hasebe.
