This is interesting planet, because though I've not seen any films directed by Yasuharu Hasebe, one was recently was made available on dvd by Arrow Video. Have you seen his film 'Massacre Gun' (1967)? Sounds like maybe I should snap it up while it's affordable. (Thanks) Hi there petrolino … Following your mention, and having the film on the shelf , we watched Massacre Gun last night , it was an enjoyable, entertaining film, a typical example of the type of action/exploitation films Nikkatsu Studios produced in this era. Some terrific acting some wonderfully creative camera work which I wont spoil, but one little sequence in particular is quite remarkable. The low key, jazz induced cool mood erupts throughout with bouts of Nikkatsu violent action. In a very similar vein, another Director of note for Nikkatsu was Toshio Masuda His film Kurenai no nagareboshi , Velvet Hustler (1967) also with a great cast, action, drama, music a wonderful example Hi planet. I'm glad you enjoyed 'Massacre Gun'. I'll aim to pick up the dvd at some point. Thanks.
Not heard of 'Velvet Hustler' before. Toshio Masuda is credited alongside Kinji Fukasaku as having directed sequences of Richard Fleischer's war epic 'Tora! Tora! Tora!' (1970).
