The Killing Machine

The year is 1946. Japan has just come out of the war. Order has not been restored. Mr Soh returns to the country. He is a man trained in martial arts. What he finds is grim. The weak have been left unprotected. The black market and the gangs are everywhere. Soh sets himself against that. He stands with those who cannot defend themselves. Meanwhile he founds a school. The school is on the island of Shikoku. What he wants is to put what he teaches on a footing. The film takes the disorder of the period as its ground. Sonny Chiba and Yutaka Nakajima appear in the eighty seven minute film, a Japanese production Norifumi Suzuki finished in 1975.
