THIS SALE / CLEARANCE ITEM IS BEING SOLD AS-IS. IT IS NOT RETURNABLEMade at the end of the 1970s, Toru Murakawas Game Trilogy launched actor Yusaku Matsuda as the Toei tough guy for a new generation. Matsuda was the definitive screen icon of 1980s until his career was tragically cut short by cancer at the age of 40, following his Hollywood debut in Ridley Scotts Black Rain.In this career-defining triptych, Matsuda is Shohei Narumi, an ice cool hitman of few words, a steely trigger finger, and a heart of stone, hired in The Most Dangerous Game by a company bidding for a lucrative government air defense contract to take out the competition. In The Killing Game, Narumi finds himself caught in the midst of violent yakuza gang warfare, while his own brutal past catches up with him in the form of two beautiful women still bearing the emotional scars of his past assignments. In The Execution Game, Narumi falls for a mysterious saloon bar chanteuse who may or may not be part of the same, shadowy underworld organization as the rival hitmen he is employed to rub out.Released for the very first time outside Japan, with their cool blue cinematography by Nagisa Oshima collaborator Seizo Sengen and a sultry score by jazz legend Yuji Ohno, Murakawas masterful set of films raised the bar for the Japanese action movie to new heights.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTSHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentations of all filmsOriginal lossless mono Japanese soundtracksOptional English subtitlesReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tony StellaDISC 1: THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMEAudio commentary by Chris Poggiali and Marc WalkowThe Action Man, a 30-minute interview with director Toru MurakawaOriginal Japanese theatrical trailerImage galleryDISC 2: THE KILLING GAME & THE EXECUTION GAMEAudio commentary on The Killing Game by Earl Jackson and Jasper SharpAudio commentary on The Execution Game by Tom MesRemembering Yusaku Matsuda, an interview with Yutaka Oki, film critic and personal friend of Yusaku MatsudaGame Changer, an interview with The Execution Game screenwriter Shoichi MaruyamaOriginal Japanese theatrical trailers for both filmsImage galleries for both films
