UPDATE (7/23): Prior to posting this contest, I ordered three copies and was only sent one by the PR firm in charge, and given that it’s the release week for the film and the wait period for the other two, I moved ahead and launched the contest on Thursday. The other two copies finally arrived on Friday morning so.. there’s that!
EARLIER (7/22): Kensuke Sonomura’s directorial debut, Hydra, was a magnanimous offering for all those involved, and definitely a fun ride for a first time effort from the stuntman-turned-filmmaker. The buzz generated on Twitter from the film’s streaming launch on Hi-YAH! is worth a look as well, putting actor Masanori Mimoto (Yakuza Apocalypse) in a very good position as we look forward to his next endeavor.
Until then, fans looking forward to physical ownership can look toward wherever movies are sold to own a copy on Digital, Blu-ray and DVD as of this past Tuesday. For this, we’ve got a contest going with ONE copy THREE copies in our possession, and we’re looking to give it them away to a fan fans (with residency in the United States only) who can answer the trivia question below:
Name the stunt club which Kensuke Sonomura was a member of, named after a famous action cinema legend.
Email us your answer at filmcombatsyndicate@gmail.com with HYDRA in the subject bar. The contest ends on July 30. Good luck!
About Hydra:
After retiring as an assassin, Takashi leads a quiet life as a chef at a sushi bar, where he secretly watches over the daughter of a former associate. His peace is short-lived: soon, he is recruited for a final job that he simply can’t refuse.
