R.I.P.... 千葉 真 , Shinichi Chiba. (22 January 1939 – 19 August 2021) Legendary artist of action drama for six decades and over 200 films, Chiba first appeared on the big screen in Keishichô monogatari: Fuzai shômei Police Department Story: Alibi (1961)
" An actor's body should be full of emotions, whether it is happiness or sorrow, pain or joy, enraged or elated. You have to express yourself with your whole body. Japanese actors don't normally do this. What I'm doing as an action star is what every actor should be doing. Action is drama. If we cannot make the audience laugh, smile or cry with us, we are not actors. That may be idealistic -- but it's true."
Dasso yugi , Jail Breakers (1976)
An outside organisation specializes in elaborately planned high profile jail breaks, a lucrative business earning the gang millions in payments. When quick thinking prisoner Wataru Kangi (Shin'ichi Chiba) seizes an opportunity he demands from them, a slice of the action also. Kôsaku Yamashita directs a solid action film nothing less with powerhouse Chiba, who gives literally, a knockout performance. With twists & turns spectacular stunt work and even a touch of romance the film is a highly entertaining crime, prison escape drama....
