EXECUTIONER: Martial arts legend Sonny Chiba stars in the violent but humorous action film THE EXECUTIONER. When the police become helpless to stop the flow of drugs into Japan, one narcotics officer decides to take an unorthodox approach to the problem. He hires three convicts to infiltrate the drug ring and take down its leaders. Led by an expert martial artist (Chiba), the three men agree to help the police, leading to an orgy of violence and action--in fact, some of Chiba's fans have called this his most brutal film. THE EXECUTIONER reunited Chiba with director Teruo Ishii after their collaboration in STREET FIGHTER'S LAST REVENGE.

EXECUTIONER 2: The sequel to Sonny Chiba's most violent film exhibits a marked change in tone, trading in most of the hard knocks for scatological laughs. Chiba plays Kouga, whose gang of outlaws are planning on stealing a diamond from a dangerous criminal. Campy dialogue and amateur filmmaking contend for chuckles with gags revolving around bodily excretions like snot, urine, and dandruff. Not to be missed by fans of this breed of comedy, EXECUTIONER 2 is probably not for the die-hard action purist, but all fans of the incomparable Sonny Chiba will find something here to enjoy.
