  Genre icon Jô Shishido stars in this tense and violent yakuza yarn from genre stalwart and Seijun Suzuki’s former assistant Yasuharu Hasebe (Female Prisoner Scorpion: #701’s Grudge Song). Shishido stars as Kuroda a mob hitman who turns on his employers after being forced to execute his lover. Joining forces with his similarly wronged brothers hot-headed Eiji (Tatsuya Fuji In the Realm of the Senses) and aspiring boxer Saburô (Jirô Okazaki Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter) the trio escalate their mob retaliation to all-out turf war where no one will stop until one faction emerges victorious. Strikingly violent for the period and gorgeously photographed in monochrome like genre siblings Branded to Kill and A Colt is My Passport (Shishido’s other films from 1967) Massacre Gun is a bold iteration on the genre featuring some stunning compositions and the assured direction of Hasebe.
