Way back in the ancient year of 2007, a retrospective entitled Nikkatsu Action made the rounds at festivals such as Fantastic Fest and Fantasia. For many, this series was the first introduction to this unique and stunning style of action and crime films from Nikkatsu. On August 25, 2009, Eclipse, which is a Criterion sub-label, released a Region 1 box set of five DVDs entitled Nikkatsu Noir. The set includes Takashi Nomura's exceptional A Colt is My Passport (1967), which played as part of the Nikkatsu Action retrospective, as well 4 other titles: Koreyoshi Kurahara's I Am Waiting (1957), Toshio Masuda's Rusty Knife (1958), Seijun Suzuki's Take Aim at the Police Van (1960), and Takumi Furukawa's Cruel Gun Story (1964). Reviews of the films in the set will appear on Twitch in the near future, but do not wait: seek out this set as soon as possible.
These are gonna be some of first netflix rentals once I start that back up in the fall. And funny that my banner right now is actually for A COLT IS MY PASSPORT.
Ben Umstead- that is exactly at the top of my queue list, it sure is a long ass wait for "A Colt Is My Passport."
Finally!!!! A Colt is My Passport is a true masterpiece (and the favourite of Shishido Jō's, as he told me)
Woah, finally, it took a while. A Colt is my passport looks good, i hope it's the same for the other films.
