    Sonny Chiba plays Terry, a martial arts mercenary, who is hunted by the mob after they refuse to meet his price to kidnap a woman who has just come into a large sum of money. See, he knows there plan and actually offers to protect the woman.
    Anyway, a lot of violent martial arts action in this one where people bust there heads open on concrete, one guy pukes from being punched so hard, another guy gets his nut sack ripped out (and doesn't even scream), another guy gets his throat ripped out, there a scene of an x-ray shot of one guy's skull caving in from a punch and it's all bloody.
    Also, Sonny Chiba isn't an unstoppable force. In fights, he actually gets hit and in some cases defeated.
    An entertaining kung-fu flick.

    How to Make Blood Spew Out of Your Opponent (including ripping off vital body parts, face plant on a steel floor and a super blow to the head). You just gotta see this one.

    Oh hell yes! This is one of the best martial arts films ever and the ned fight is th ultimate. It may also be familiar to anyone who has seen True Romance as its what Clarence watches in the cinema when Alabama meets him.

    Sonny Chiba rips off a black dudes nuts with his bare hands. He also sells a guys sister into sexual slavery and rips another guys throat out.

    Pretty much better than your life.

    As much as I love Bruce Lee, Sonny Chiba is probably my favorite martial artist simply because of his inability to look anything but intimidating. Even in Kill Bill, slicing fish in his little sushi-ya as Hattori Hanzo, he looks as if he could just take that knife and cut Uma Thurman into 100 pieces in a matter of seconds.

    This was the movie that put Sonny Chiba on the martial arts map of kung fu mania. Brilliant action sequences throughout make this a bonafide classic. Spawn three sequels. This was the one that started it all. From 1975.

    Ninety minutes of non-stop kung fu insanity! Sonny Chiba smashes skulls, breaks limbs, and gouges eyes with his bare hands. He also tears the genitals off of a creepy rapist. Lots of slow motion shots of old people practicing karate. A must see!

    despite the poor english dub, this film shows why Sonny Chiba is a living legend. a martial arts classic.

    My friend watched this movie with his cousin the night before his wedding. For some reason, I find that to be amazingly cool. Anyway, Sonny Chiba movies are always memorable for at least one scene. The testicle removal scene is the best one for me.

    A highly influential Japanese Kung Fu film, its cheesy atmosphere doesn't make up for the moderately decent action scenes, including one where a guy gets his balls ripped off.

    The most violent martial arts film I had seen until Story of Ricky. This film kicks all kind of ass, and Sonny Chiba's facial expressions should be taught in all acting schools.

    Great facial expressions and sound effects. Lots of bodily trauma. Flixter doesn't have a lot of Chiba's great movies here though, most shameful!

    He just kicks ass. The entire movie. If someone breathes, he runs up and kicks them through a wall. That makes this a great movie.

    brilliantly choreographed action with killer 70's aesthetic. must see for penis ripping scene and penultimate fight scene, which occurs in the black of night amidst a thunderstorm on a freighter, and which also includes the removal of a body part (the ear, pre- tyson).
