8. Danger Point: The Road to Hell (1991)
Another starring Show Aikawa and Jō Shishido. Two hitmen go on the hunt for $20 million after their target tries to bribe them with it. What follows is a long and twisted tale of betryals. One of the best in the box.

7. THE HITMAN: BLOOD SMELLS LIKE ROSES (1991)
A nearly perfect blend of sex and violence. This whole move oozes with style and charisma. A brilliant revenge movie.

Arrow art for female prisoner scorpion death threat
A bloodied woman aims a gun
Two female prisoners sit against a wall a dead man beside them
6. FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION: DEATH THREAT (1991)
It’s a decent legacy sequel, but I’m a little weirded out by using what happened to Junko Furuta as inspiration for the main character here… (don’t google if faint of heart, truly gross true crime story.)
🎥 #FilmSky 📽️ #Letterboxd 📹 #VCinema

5. BURNING DOG (1991)
A very dysfunctional group of bank robbers decide to heist a US military base. What follows are layers of betrayal as everyone keeps fucking each other over. A pretty great entry. Seiji Matano is in this again and steals the movie.

4. CARLOS (1991)
A manga adaptation that follows a Japanese Brazilian gangster who starts a war between two Yakuza families. This one felt a little weaker than the previous entires but was still a lot of fun. Especially the lead actor who is v. charismatic.

3. STRANGER (1991)
A women does time after her boyfriend convinces her to embezzle money at her bank job. He naturally lets her down.
Now years later she's getting stalked at her taxi job.
Tense and atmospheric af -- the best in the box so far.

A girl smiles happily next to a stern looking guy in a suit

2. NEO CHINPIRA: ZOOM GOES THE BULLET (1990)
Almost a sex comedy more than anything else, this one follows a wannabe yakuza who winds up on a mission that will see him doing hard time for the family. A little goofy but very endearing. Liked it a lot.

1. CRIME HUNTER: BULLETS OF RAGE (1989)
First in the set, credited as the kickstarter of the straight to video boom. It’s easy to see why. Incredible action, fun characters, a shotgun wielding nun, there’s a lot to love here and Seiji Matano as Bruce is badass!
